Little Purchases


These are just a few little things I picked up yesterday from Dunnes Stores, and thought I'd share them with you. I only bought 4 things, but I'm really happy with what I got regardless...

The white vintage photo frames hold a 4 x 6 inch photo, and cost €6 each. They're beautiful, giving a real vintage & shabby chic look to my living room already! Instead of putting actual photographs into them, I'm considering printing off some nice vintage patterns onto photo paper, or a nice quote for each frame. They had bigger sizes of the frames, and a beautiful mirror to match, which I can hopefully get soon.

The knee high slipper socks were €3 for 2 pairs, and they're so cosy for these cold nights. The mint pair have little heart/ball pompoms hanging from the top... too cute! Both pairs have little grips on the bottoms to prevent slipping.

The 2014 calendar by Lucy Cromwell was reduced to €3.49, from €6.99. It's perfect timing as I've been on the lookout for a new calendar. I prefer slim calendars over big ones, as they're so much less bulky. This calendar has a real vintage feel to it too, with pictures of beautiful birds and gorgeous flowers.

What have you bought lately?

2013 - My Favourite Memory

 Happy New Year!

2013 literally flew by. It seems like just last week, we were seeing in the new year for 2013. Hard to believe it's been over a year now. 2013 was a good year for me, and I completed my Childcare course, thankfully. The BEST part, without a doubt, was being with my 8 amazing brothers and my gorgeous mum to celebrate her 50th birthday in October.


Here's all of us together, which is very rare, as obviously most of us are living away from home. I'll treasure this picture forever - it's definitely my favourite memory of 2013. I have a handsome bunch of brothers and a beautiful mum... lucky girl :) We're all so close, which is amazing. I can't wait to see them all again!

Bring on 2014!
What's been the highlight of 2013 for you?
