Dear Father Christmas.....

or birthday fairy, or whoever it is that listens to the breathy little list that gets chanted, like a mantra, around this time of year
"I have been very good this year and if you need hints for my birthday I can think of a couple of things that might help if you are stuck for ideas."


Please note this is a hideously acquisitive collection, as I firmly believe that if something is "useful" I can always justify buying it myself (hence no books, or anything, ever, for the kitchen)


Started gently here, as not ridiculously expensive, and almost useful. Note - must be black
The lovely Mr Munro - bling-ish, sparkly, pretty and perfect for Summer.

OK, getting silly now, but I do love it. Never thought I could become a handbag person, but then I met Furla

Because every woman wants to wear birds on her head ?

Some good taste to counteract the previous item.


And finally........ the ultimate paper cup.... I love it !

I did go to the Tiffany site too, and left, swiftly, whimpering and I suspect there were many other things my greedy little mind had registered, going "mine, mine", but when it comes down to it, I will be happy if they remember..........

Oh, huge excitement, Mr Amazon has just been and my present to me "Backwards in High Heels" (see, I said books could always be justified) has arrived. It is wonderful, it even feels nice and I can't wait to read it. Thank you, in advance to http://taniakindersley.blogspot.com/ !

The bird hat is divine. Wondering if you could only carry it off while wearing a skirted riding habit or would it translate to city wear?
I looooooove those "paper" cups. i have the espresso sized ones AND a milk jug in milk-carton shape...

I thought pencil skirt, laced ankle boots and my lovely black dutch bike. Fortunately, not having to run the gauntlet of London traffic, I don't feel I need to wear sensible cycling headwear - well, thats me a ROSPA statistic now isn't it ?
