Mollie Makes

Have you seen this?

It is so cool!

Had to have it when I found it at Barnes & Noble

Just the strawberries alone got me! But is is cute all kinds of crafts and collecting and decorating.

Vintage and new

Has a project included! It is $11.99 in the US but so worth it

Hope you see it and enjoy it too!

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Saturday in the UK

I am keeping with my “I want to move to the  UK” theme this week ;)

Here is where I will live!!

The one in the middle of course ;)

And I will decorate with these lovelies

Ok I confess, I’d move to England for Cath Kidston alone!!

I won’t even go into the clothes!!!!

I will get a huge basket so I can ride in to town to shop at Cath’s ;)

So I will be making my notebook full of great pinks from Cath  to have in my new cottage!

Please visit Beverly @ How Sweet The Sound for more Pink Ladies!

 

Hugs, Lisa

I think I will move

I just cannot get out of my head how lovely it would be to live in a place like this

A sweet little cottage on a narrow little street

Where I could walk or ride my bike down to the village a few blocks away.

I would be so happy here!

I know that England is colder than here but I really cannot handle the heat here and will love it for a while!!

Now where is it that I want to go…

Looks like lovely choices doesn’t it!

Oh to dream ;)

Hugs, Lisa

I have no will power

This could be a super long post of ALL I have no will power for but I will just focus on one item today.

Tote bags

Another one.

In my weak defense these are $6.99 at Borders Books when you purchase 2 items.

This was one

Cute little retro notebook.

I will talk about notebooks later ;)

I love Paperchase, being English and all and me being such a nut for all that is English!!!

I love this tote is is so much bigger than my Mag bag

So I can take EVERYTHING with me now!

Now I can go shopping ;)

It will hold tons of more tote bags! LOL

Borders is doing a good job of sending great coupons and they have fun stuff!

LOVE Books you know ;)

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Saturday!

Welcome to another great Pink Saturday!

Please join us @ Beverly’s for a full dose of Pink!

I bought this

I know you will be shocked but it DID NOT come from Barnes & Noble, I know BUT it did come from Borders!

They sent me a 40% off coupon for a tote  or a journal. Since they have Paperchase I was very excited!

A Mag Bag how perfect for me??

It is not as easy to see but the background is light pink and I love the flowers!

This will hold me ‘til I hit the jackpot and can order  a Cath Kidston!

Off to load up my mags for travel!

And for fun ;)

 

I am so happy to have these with me all the time ;)

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

In my next life

In my next life I will live some where I can walk to everywhere I need to go.

A brownstone in a big city would be fun,

But

a small English village would really suite me best

I could walk or ride my bike

to the Bakery

There would need to be a Butcher too

meat pies, yummmm

A produce stand

Fun specialty shops with local flare

and no doubt a book store

I would be in heaven♥

Even in the winter I would be happy here♥

Do you have an alternate life you would enjoy living?

Happy Dreams,

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Puppy!

This week for Pink Saturday I will share my pink puppy.

Ok so Molly isn’t pink but her special new sweater  Jumper is!

Molly was lucky enough to have a friend Ami in England whose mom made her this custom sweater Jumper!

 

Here is Ami in her sweater Jumper!

Her mom Midge is the master mind behind Soggibottom Bears.

She is a super fun blogger!

Molly’s hair is a bit poofy so she looks squeezed into her Sweater! Ooops their is Spunky’s foot in the corner. Poor boy. No sweater Jumper for him. He won’t wear them☺

Look at the detail in this. It has a turtle neck with white stripes♥

I just love it and even though it is warm here in NC she wore it around all night. Had to show it off. ☺

Please visit Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for a whole list of Pink goodness!!

Happy Pink Saturday♥

Hugs, Lisa 

ps sorry for the miss type, as this jumper is from England it cannot be called a sweater! ☺

Woo-Hoo Wednesday!

I will start this week with a goodie I left of my thrifty post!

 

Ok not the whole set, but the small fruit bowl in Scarlet, I got 2 of them for $.54!!

Yes that is right 2 $7.50 pieces were on sale for $5.25 each and a $10 coupon!

Woo-Hoo!

I need a 4th color to finish my set and I was so glad when they released a red again!!

Next I am going to dedicate more time to reading. I am joining Un-plug for the summer. No worries, it is only one day of the week. I will use Tuesday my day off and Un-plug!

My reading today has taken me to this

I am HOOKED!!! I am rushing through it like I love to do. A good book that really gets me is my favorite!!

Karen is a lovely person and is working on her 2nd book now! YEAH!! I will be done soon and will want another!

You can go to her blog, The English Writer, for ways to order her book. Only way I found to get it in the US, But it was very reasonable even with shipping from the UK!

It is a little risqué so if you don’t like that please skip, but it is a really great love story!

Have a Happy Wednesday!!

Hugs, Lisa

I Believe…

 

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn

Favorite things…

Country Living British Edition!

Like it better than ours. Maybe I am not tired of their ads! ;)

Hugs, Lisa
