♥ Monday Etsy Loves ♥ Latest Loves ♥

Hope your Monday went well
I've managed to catch a horrible flu type bug that's left me sounding like a teenage boy
I've been having lots of fresh veggie juices and spicy soups
I swear, if you want to speed up any cold type bug, add cayenne pepper to your food
It had ALWAYS made my colds go faster
Sisco's not too happy with my coughing
Each time I do it she looks at me as if 'What the hell?"

Anyway, I've found some lovelies that I hope you'll like

1. Nu Bambu
I've got a huge love for raw Amethyst necklaces and this is really pretty















2. Sweet Hoots
Awwww

















3. MKH Quilts
Isn't this quilt adorable?

















4. Fancy Brand Rings
Aww, cute little fox











5. Asking For Trouble
I'm a big list maker and I'm in love with this

















6. Near Sighted Owl
So pretty

















7. Hoppy Bunnies
Isn't this notebook a sweet idea?

Cat Crazy Saturday

Happy Caturday!!
I'm actually starting to get into a bit of a Christmas mood
We're planning on going to Wales for a few days for Christmas, as we haven't been since June
But I feel really sad as I'm going to miss Sisco SO much!
We're putting her in a cattery, but it sounds lovely
When we were researching we came across some horrible ones :(
We thought about bringing her to Wales with us, but the train ride would be too distressing for her
But we'll be back in time for New Year with LOTS of treats for her
This year is our 1st year 'officially' owning her
Our 1st year as a proper little family
Aww
Makes me feel quite emotional

Ok, onto this weeks finds

It's Sisco!














Wowza!
I'd never heard of this place before!
The Cat House in Charlottesville, Va. is made for crazy cat ladies!!



































































































I don't care what anyone says..
I love Hello Kitty
I was really excited about the latest F21 collaboration
But when I saw it I was a little disappointed
A lot of it just seemed to stick a Hello Kitty head on an item and that's it
But I totally fell in love with the cardi below
Its so cute and quite subtle
But..no delivery to the U.K!
Damn
I also loved the scarf with the same pattern and the tights and socks were pretty cute!
What did you think of it?






















































































Catvertising
haha!
This looks like a great place to work!

Have a purrfect weekend and kiss your furr babies for me

Yesterday I visited the lovely Things British shop on Carnaby Street

But it is such a unique shopping experience
I swear, you could find something for everyone there
Here's a picture of my candy coloured shelf after a bit of a re-do











Oh, this Thursday (3-8pm) some sellers in the shop are offering a 20% discount in conjunction with Carnaby Shopping night
Me included! So pop down and have a browse!

Ok, onto this weeks finds
I've realised nearly every week I feature rings and something cat related
Possibly a little bit obsessed?

Goonies never say die!!

Victorian Homes...But not as they seem

From as long as I can remember I've had a love of Victorian houses
I think it's actually from watching the film Psycho when I was younger
I thought the building was the most beautiful I'd ever seen
It just had something special about it
Years later, Paul's parents surprised me with a 12th scale model of the house they made me (they used to make miniature houses)
And it's AMAZING! They are crazy talented
I keep meaning to photograph it, but it's in storage at my mum's
I will definitely do it when I'm next in Wales

Anyway, I've just come across these..

















































Beautiful, huh?
THEY'RE MADE OF LEGO!!
That right, no wood, no glue, just Lego!
Read more about the artist behind them here
He must have the patience of a saint!
