...postcard pics.......

....so our norfolk hols are over...
...and we are home,exhausted....
...with piles of washing to sort...
...and nothing in the fridge...
...but it's always worth it...
...we have had a fantastic time....
...knowing the area well...
...we know exactly where we want to go...
...but a week is never really quite long enough to fit it all in....
....we have visited farmers markets...
...beaches....
..with pony rides...
...driven to little coastal villages...
...with stunning views...
....we have pootled in amazing
 roadside shops....
...just pulling over and spending too much money!
...but in such idyllic surroundings...
...it was very hard to resist....
..one of my favourites has to be
..this wonderful place is a post office,
..cafe, grocery store, gift shop...
...just a little place ..
...but such a fantastic concept..
...brilliantly done...
...this donna wilson bunny 
just had to come home with me...
...we shopped in holt...
...where i was spoilt with this jacket
handmade from vintage fabrics...
...a gift for my birthday...
(love love love)
...and also stopped off in norwich
on the way back...
....and enjoyed some time in the city..
...this is a beautiful shopping arcade..
...and the lovely cobbled streets
make it well worth a visit...
...i can't believe how quickly
time is flying....
....we must be having fun!
i hope you are enjoying this summer too
now back to some stitching....

....i have loved this gorgeous donna wilson plate for ages....
..so imagine my despair when I dropped it
just after my lovely mum had bought it for me!!!!!!
Aaaargh.......
luckily my mother is used to my clumsy tendencies.....
..and very generously went straight back to the lovely
and replaced it!.......phew!
..note to self.....
...do not carry items of worth into public toilets....!
this fabulous notebook was another amazing gift from mum....
I have been very spoilt!

...but once a year.....


...i am treated to a visit...
...to the Bath christmas market...


...Bath is always a favourite place..
...but at christmas it is magical...


...little alpine huts 
adorned with fairy lights..
..huddle around the abbey..
...displaying their wares...


..we warmed ourselves with cups of spiced mulled wine....



..so excited to meet the real


..this lovely hut deservedly won 
'prize chalet 2012'



...and we managed to do some christmas shopping here too...


...oh and a little something for the tree..


....oh yes...
..and a little something for me...




..the christmas lights in the town are beautiful..
...and it was so festive as dusk was falling..


....just enough time for me to pop into one of my most adored shops...


..these cute candles are so unique
(definitely NOT for burning!!!)


..i also needed this donna wilson stocking...
...it was reduced so i thought it might be rude not to have it....



 ....such a happy day....
