Weekend randomness...

We decided that instead of getting rid of the bookcase that was sitting unused and unloved in our spare room, that we would re-purpose it as a pantry. It fits fairly well in the awkward corner of our kitchen and has freed up a lot of space in our cupboards.

To be honest I get quite a lot of joy out of seeing our dry goods in pretty little jars. It's sad I know.

Our pantry is nowhere as gorgeous as this one from Emersonmade. One day I hope, one day! [As an aside, her entire house is gorgeous].



While Lee was napping (in preparation for a night shift) I had a play around in the box of stamps that we've inherited from his stepdad's mom. There are literally boxes of stamps and Lee has gradually started to organize them into books. I had some fun playing around with some of the multiples that have little to no monetary value.

This will be a 31st birthday card [for my friend Norah who is a 'first class' friend].

I also will come out and say, for all the world to read, that I need an Ebay intervention.

I've bought 3 brand new dresses (2 Gap, 1 Banana Republic) over the past two weeks and I really should stop...but as none of them cost more than £8 (with shipping), my addiction continues unabated.
