Oh, what a perfect day....

Forgot the clocks were going back today - this morning started very early and I am predicting tears before bedtime, but strangely I don't care. I am in a little bubble of happiness after having one of those great, life enhancing days yesterday.

I went to Cheltenham to meet Monica and passed the day in a pleasurable haze of chatter, eating, drinking, wandering and shopping. I discovered that Monica is one of those people with flawless style and taste, so I was really pleased when she helped me pick out some fabric for a bag I have been meaning to make for ages.

I saw these amazing shoes which I probably should have bought and may have to go back for.


And I returned home to two happy little boys who had the best day with Daddy. They had a picnic (with boiled eggs - which entitles him to a 'Father of the Year' award in their eyes). And he swore to me he didn't keep them in the linen hamper ALL day.

I saw those very shoes in Amsterdam the other week and was sorely tempted, Paul dragged me from the shop before I'd made a decision! so buy the shoes they're fab!

I totally love those shoes too - Camper do make some fabulous shoes don't they?

I also love the fabric you have chosen to make a bag with - can't wait to see the finished article.

Very cute in the hamper there. I love those days, we call them mommy days, when I get out and actually don't feel like a mommy for a few hours. Ahhhh.
And no worries on the package, take your time! I'll be delighted whenever it comes!

Lovely shoes, you must have them! Nothing like a day of retail therapy with a good friend, especially after a week of half term. Looking forward to seeing your bag :-)

Beautiful boys by the way, soooo cute. x

It is unanimous - you must get those Camper shoes, they will haunt your thoughts until you make them yours and if you're a size 5 you can always give them to me if you decide you don't like them ;) That's great fabric - really looking forward to seeing the finished bag. Sounds like you had an all round great weekend - and it wasn't even mother's day !

How nice to have a day away! We've been having early mornings and teary evenings here as well. I didn't know that you guys changed your hours over there as well. We never moved our clocks when I was living in Asia. I'm glad you had fun, and I'm wondering if anyone has convinced you to go back and get the shoes. I'm thinking you could get some plain onces and embellish them yourself. :o)
