Mini Moo.

hello.
 
here is ANOTHER post about the brilliant Moo and their Minicards.
 
ive ordered Minicards and business cards from Moo before, and i was so happy with the colours and the quality. i saw a link on twitter a few weeks ago for 100 FREE Minicards [all you pay is p&p], so i got some in a 'Textomatic' design, so they would match the business cards i got form Moo previously.
 
here are the Minicards in their little box, how cute:
 
 
 
this sweet little Minicard was also in with the box, how lovely:
 
 
here are some of the Minicards in their 'rainbow' colours:
 
 
 
here are the new Minicards, alongside the business cards i got recently. they match perfectly:
 
 
 
here is pic of the back of the Minicards with all my info on:

YES. i had also noticed Antonia tweeted that all orders would recieve a FREE gift also, so that was good!

Primark Mini Jewellery 'Haul'

ok, so i went to town the other day, and although i am angered at the lack of sizes my local Primark seems to have out on the racks/shelves, i always love their jewellery.
this isnt a proper 'haul' as i only bought a few things, but i thought id share them with you:
 
firstly, i got this sweet pack of 6 earrings, and they were in the SALE for only £1! for six pairs of studs, i HAD to have them!
 
 
then i got this hand harness, cos i had been looking at some on ebay, but this one was only £2, which is great! i did have to alter it a bit though, because ive got quite small hands, but it fits great now:
 
 
then i got this sweet 'Pisces' necklace for only 50p! AMAZING!
 
 
then, this isnt jewellery, but i got it at the same time, so here it is. these nail wraps were also only 50p, so if they dont work, or i mess it up, i dont mind!
 
 
there you go, thats my mini 'haul', hope youve enjoyed this post.

little trinkets.

hello.
 
i was gona do a blog post AGES ago about my wee collection of little trinket/pill boxes, but didnt. then i mentioned it to Anna [via twitter] and she said she would like to see my collection so far. so here it is:
 
 
i got most of these from car boot sales/antiques fairs for like 50p-£2 each!
 
 
the two below are my favourites, the little dinky one in particular i just LOVE!
 
 
 
the 2 below are a bit different from the rest of the collection, as theyre ceramic/porcelain. i got them at different boot sales/antiques fairs at totally different times, which is WEIRD! i just think theyre really cute [i love polka dots]
 
 
i also have this metal box, which is pretty big in comparison to the others in the 'collection and is more like a mini jewellery box, rather than a trinket box, but its with all my other boxes on my bookcase, so here it is:
 
 
i just love the detail in the middle, and the swirls!
 
hope you like my little collection of trinket/pill boxes.
 
whats your collection!?

42.  Id love to get married one day, and know the style of dress id like and the colours id have for the flowers etc. but i probably wont ever get married, so yeah.
43.  When my nails ARENT very short [which is how I like them] i like to paint my them with bright colours, but sometimes I dont have the patience
