Teens 'n' Twincesses: 'Tis the Season!

Well almost anyway! Can't believe it's been four months since I had the time to sit and blog, darling Grandma has been very poorly plus we had a fabby holiday over in Mallorca but those are for another time. Can you blog about your holidays two months after the event? Is there some sort of 'blog etiquette that says once it's gone, you've had your chance and blown it. Am sure one of my lovely readers will know and tell me off if there is!

But as the 'C' word looms towards us am getting more than a little excited. DH has put up a lovely new craft area for me and I have been a busy bunny painting the kitchen. Eeeek! It's soooo lovely, all red & aqua and very retro.Anyone who knows me knows that I am a Vintage nut, music, clothing, dancing etc and have been collecting some Vintage lovelies recently - at bargain prices, promise lots of pics soon.
Anywho, more on that another day, it's nearly Christmas!!!!!

Can you tell I'm just a bit excited? Have been browsing online and found some really fab & cheery things for Santa to put in my stocking - not that my stockings are big enough for some of these prezzies ahem. I may be ample but am not quite QE2 proportions just yet - that comes after Christmas ha ha...

I would be an over excited Bunny if I got this on Christmas morning!
Isn't it divine? I have no idea how much it is and I don't think Santa worries about such horrid practical things
as cost. Just the fact that it matches the new kitchen and I would squeal is enough don't you think?

If he can't manage one of those this will do very nicely. My fridge has been a faithful friend for some years now and it has definately seen better days. This one is just perfect, although it does just have an ice box at the top. Not sure it will be big enough to feed six but maybe will have to ask Grandma how she preserved veggies & such like during the war then I wont need to buy frozen ones! That's what I'll tell DH anyway...

I just love these too - perfect for Birthday teas - you could probably cut out sandwiches with them too don't
you think? Either way they are very cute & small in price so would make great stocking fillers.

Not forgetting these, perfect for drying up after Christmas Dinner. Actually I think they are too nice to
use so I may have to get one and put it in a frame somewhere- am sure there is bare wall somewhere just waiting to be cheered up in this house!

They have far too many nice things on that website - I am just keeping my fingers crossed for a pretty vintage phone from there this year amongst other things.

There is a slight theme running through this post - I am unashamedly patriotic. And so is my house now, well at least the Kitchen & Dining room are. Am loving collecting all the Vintage & Retro pieces for them, they are so very cheery! Or as my friend in blogland "Happy loves Rosie" says
