I went a little crazy whilst late night shopping last night and came home with three cardigans, two dresses and a pair of PJs. So far this year I’m averaging two new dresses a month, which reminds me of my new years resolution two years ago which was to buy a dress every month, only now it’s two per month… oops.
Here’s one of them, accessories with my pearl collar, bronze belt and one of my new cardigans 😀
It’s not only non food Friday but it’s also the run up to Christmas and I’ve given in to the Christmas cheer and put my tree up… well my Christmas branch.
I found this branch about four years ago in the work carpark, painted it white and have used it for my tree ever since… I love it. I bought the tear drop baubles in Asda and the cameo ones from Frost garden centre. This year I also utilised a broken string of pearls to add even more glamour. Merry Christmas.
It’s Non Food Friday…that means it’s time to share something non food related with you. So check out my new Lavender locks!
I found this wonderful dress in a charity shop at the weekend… there were no two ways about it I had to have it! And it was an absolute bargain priced at £4. Can’t wait to wear it!
For this weeks ‘Non Food Friday’ I thought I’d share a couple of pic from a gig my boyfriend took me too this week… Savages. I love this band so much and it was so cool to see them live at The Forum in Kentish Town.
Look at my lovely new phone cover by Hello Deere as part of the Diffle Cat Series… oh so cute… Ellie Cat likes it too!
This weeks Non Food Friday is all about Christmas, I found myself in the local garden centre this week and Christmas is already in there. Looking at all the beautiful Xmas decorations, made me realise that Christmas really isn’t that far away, 11 weeks I think!! I’m loving the mint green and aqua colours of the decorations, surprisingly I only came away with a little wooden tea light holder.
I’m a huge fan of stop frame animation, for a long time it’s what I wanted to do for a career… maybe I still will one day. So for this weeks Non Food Friday I’d like to introduce you to an amazing illustrator and animator that I came across on Intagram.
The candy floss animation was the first piece of her work that I saw and I was a fan immediately and it’s still my favourite of all her work. Rachel is wonderful to follow on Instagram as she often adds new animations, she has also just set up a Facebook page Don’t Stop Motion. Go check out her wonderful creations!!

I’ve lived in Milton Keynes for over ten years and yet I never realised that there was an MK Museum. I was even more surprised to discover what a wonderful, interesting and interactive museum it was. Lots of rooms to explore in and old house, with Victorian musical instrument to play, vintage toys, an old school room, a Victorian kitchen where we were encouraged to cook toast on the fire. There was an old village with all the shops to look in… it was just wonderful. We had the place pretty much to ourselves, with a few volunteers around to reassure you it was okay to touch, turn and pick things up.
I loved it… I saw so many things that I wanted to use as props in my food photography, lots of lovely old tins, plates, kitchen equipment… everything! What a magical place!!
Last weekend was the Woburn Village Festival, an annual event in my village that I really look forward to. The festival used to known as the Oyster Festival because it was all about eating Oysters, drinking beer and listening to live music. Last year it changed to the Village Festival to make it more a family event, they still sell Oysters and have live music, but it’s not quite the same. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of antique stalls there this year and picked up a lovely little vintage Hovis tin for only £4… bargain!
