Just back from the most idyllic mini-break...ever.
The perfect weather, and the most lovely family time, which can be rather hard to achieve with our age gap kiddos.
I am just sharing a few piccies of the holiday and maybe a couple of other nice things along the way.
I was involved in a Craft Mafia bring, buy and swap sale which was rather lovely (see my swaps below).
I also visited the most wonderful Vintage Village today and bought a few lovely bits there, also see below ;)

Cut a story, and the reason things have been a bit quiet round here, other than our mini-break,
Littlest had his tonsils and adenoids out last week and it has all been rather traumatic (possibly for us more than him).
After rather a bad reaction to the anaesthetic he is now recuperating and doing really well.
I am extra proud because not once, even when he was in a real mess, did he complain.
I however have had a mini breakdown and Mr Betty has been an emotional wreck....good job Littlest is such a trooper!!
If you have to go through this sort of thing on a regular basis I have the utmost respect for you I really do.
There will be a shop update in the next few days which will include the addition of my pocket money pets and my new critter cushion.
