    Tote of the Week: Ta-Da! Bag by Alphabet Bags

    Ta-da! tote bag by Alphabet Bags  A super quick post today whilst I’m heading to Leeds for the London train – choo choo! Excuse my excitement, I get ridiculously giddy travelling on trains, more than anyone should really. Ahem. Anyway, I’m carrying my sturdy leather tote with me today as it’s not the best weather for the humble cotton tote bag. If the sun was shining however I’d be all over this Ta-da tote bag from the always awesome, Alphabet Bags.…

    Tote of the Week: Suede Leather Tote Bag by The White Room via DaWanda

    Via White Room Founded in Berlin in 2006, DaWanda is an online marketplace selling unique and handmade items created by talented designers from across the world. After finding the perfect bag on the site for this week’s tote of the week (hello sunshine yellow!), I had a little too much fun choosing a small handful of my favourite homewares, gifts and accessories from the site. I discovered a notebook full of designer-makers that each deserve a shout-out individually, but for now…

    Tote of the Week: Big Fish, Little Fish Bag by Hey! Holla

    Big Fish, Little Fish Bag by Hey! Holla Although this tote bag reminds of PJ Harvey whispering ‘little fish, big fish, swimming in the water’  rather than 90s rave scene, I totally DIG IT! Funny how a little cloth and words can make a gal smile? Well, this one anyhoo. Other things that are making me smile today are a big bag of Haribo sweets and the start of a 11 day holiday spent at home working, crafting, organising and exercising.…

    Tote of the week: Carry On by West Elm

    Via West Elm Hurrah, huzzah, and fiddle-dee-dee – the weekend has landed. If the weather plays ball we’ll be heading out for a couple of local walks to capture all the bluebells that are popping up to say hello. A sunday roast here, chocolate scoffing there and lots of reading, writing and website building. I might do a spot of housework but probably not…meh! Whatever you’re up to, wishing you a happy long weekend. Happy Friday! ♥ P.S On the…

    Tote of the Week: You Are My Dreamboat by Helen Entwisle

    Via Talented Totes I’m feeling a tad giddy today. It’s been a pretty awesome week full of goodness and hatching plans, so awesome in fact I’m going to squeeze it all into one paragraph! The OH has now finished his work gallivanting, and I was rewarded with his ace face and Fortnum and Mason treats (tea, biscuits, champagne truffles and a tote bag – wah?!). Ooh, we ate out at our local pub this week and had the BEST meal.…

    Tote of the Week: Chat Shopper Bag by Audrey Jeanne

    Via Audrey Jeanne   Well, my day/week/month/year has been made today. Kate Bush has announced a 15 show tour (in London) for later in the year. Oh my. She’s an artist I never thought I’d get to see live and next Friday, when the tickets go on sale, I will have the opportunity of listening to her awesomeness. Be still my beating heart. A weekend of Kate Bush classics me thinks? Happy Friday! ♥ P.S Don’t forget to enter the…

    Tote of the Week: TOTES bag by OH NO Rachio!

    Via OH NO Rachio! I’ve had a couple of realisations this week; I’m addicted to wasabi peas, banana chips and Easter Egg chocolate. I’m obsessed with Matthew McConaughey in True Detective (favourite TV show since Breaking Bad) and I’m counting the days till the next season of Game of Thrones. Food and good drama, it would seem, are two of my favourite things at the moment. Not forgetting tote bags of course. Here is another to add to the mix from…

    Tote of the Week: Stacks Tote by Monica Gifford

    Stacks Tote Bag by Monica Gifford via Society 6 Slow cooked mexican bean chilli, beers with the boy, starting a new book, pottering in Ilkley, prancing and a little dancing in Leeds with the best friend, seeing my family, garden/patio planning for Spring and lots of sleep. You could say I’m thankful it’s the weekend… What do you have planned? Happy Friday! ♥ P.S On the hunt for a new tote bag? Take a look through my previous tote bags featured.

    Tote of the Week: Have Fun by Alphabet Bags

    Have Fun Big Canvas Bag via Alphabet Bags I’ve experienced many Valentine’s Days; I’ve danced with friends, had the occasional date with Mr. Unsuitable, and spent lots of them in bed…watching movies alone. But all of these days had one thing in common. Me. So this February 14th, whether you’re coupled up or not, enjoy all the things that YOU love and have some fun! Happy Friday! ♥ P.S On the hunt for a new tote bag? Take a look through…

    Tote of the Week: Less Popular Nail Varnishes by Gemma Correll

    Via Gemma Correll  Hello there, how’s Friday (and February) treating you? All jazzed up to hit the town or curled up on the couch ready to put the week to rest? We’ve had a charming week, the highlight being a mid-week city break in Leeds. It was a luxury to flee from the Valley, if only for a day or so. As much I love Hebden Bridge, it can feel a tad small sometimes (and a little too much gossip…

    Tote of the week: Amour éternel by Alejandro Giraldo via Society 6

    Via Society 6 Well isn’t this a fine tote bag? It has me dreaming of the sea, and nights spent putting the world to rights over a bottle of port whilst the sea crashes in. Which is exactly what we’ll be doing in a few weeks when we head off for our mini New Years break (and anniversary!) in Bamburgh, Northumberland. Hurrah for castles, the ocean and roaring log fires! Happy Friday! ♥ P.S On the hunt for a new…

    Tote of the Week: Oh Deer by Oelwein

    Via Oelwein Hello there. You freaking out how quickly this week has gone? Yup, me too. I’m going to try my best to enjoy every second of the next few weeks whilst they pass by in a blur; taking note of the simple things that make me smile, writing Christmas cards and researching recipes for the big day. Also, to make sure I look after myself a little better to balance out the mince pies, cherry liqueurs and mulled wine…
