I managed to get a few deals in the post-Christmas sales. Monsoon and Topshop disappointed but the Gap came through (as usual) with some Merino wool sweaters marked down by 75%. I love Merino wool sweaters, although I need to make sure that my dearest husband never gets near any such sweaters as they usually end up the perfect size for our 5-year-old niece.

My favorite post-Christmas purchases weren't for me but for some friends who have recently had baby boys.

We sent these cute shoes were to our friends in Chicago. The father is British so we thought they would be a good fit.


I also bought these bibs and little babygrow for one my girlfriends that I played soccer with at university. I love Cath Kidston's prints and her football print was just perfect!




I think the best deal was certainly this linen set that I picked up for 70% off! I think it will be nice and cheery come spring.



For now, Lee and I will remain under our thick flannel set and Hudson bay blanket :)

I heart all of it! The bed spread looks somewhat similar to ours, although yours looks like a more cheerful shade of yellow!

Those shoes are adorable.
Thanks for stopping by on my blog, I appreciate the kind words. Have you seen the forum for police emigration? There's a section for Canada, Australia and New Zealand and it's been really helpful - you can find it at http://www.police-forum.com/forum/index.php
