Lots of you have been posting about some of the lovely items in the shops at the moment as alternatives for CK. I don't really see what the big deal is with CK, it's nice stuff but I'm not fussed if I buy something cheap - as long as it looks nice and I like it, I'm happy! :-) One such shop is Tescos - they have some wonderful things in there. I've been after a cheap, pretty, everyday dinner set for a while now, but they all seem to be too wacky or modern for my taste. So I was thrilled to bits when I found this hand painted set in Tesco.
Isn't it cute? :-) I was also lucky enough to get this eiderdown on ebay for a mere £30 including delivery. It's not your usual pink paisley but I like the ones that are a bit brighter and different - you know me, I ALWAYS (just to be annoying sometimes!) have to break from the norm!
The other thing I did today was buy some gorgeously rich and vibrant gloss paint colours to paint those picture frames. I'm also thinking of painting the fireplace in one of them. I had another brain wave that I could paint an ornate french clock in bright bright pink or green. I've seen it done with other items like cuckoo clocks and it looks fab.

These pics don't really do the colours justice - they are sooo bright but I love them! :-)
