I'm an unashamed slave to Starbucks (well...slightly shamed but I enjoy every minute of my coffee fix so I try not to feel guilty afterwards!)...is it a bit sad that I want one these?
It's feeling increasingly Christmassy over here in London. All of the shops have been festooned with decorations and the elaborate window displays are starting to appear (I'm looking forward to Selfridges and Harvey Nichols....always a treat). Yesterday felt like the first real wintery weekend so far and I'm getting that little tingle of holiday anticipation what with all of the magazines writing their enticing gift guides. It's the decoration pages that I most enjoy though, probably because they're filled with sparkly birds...
I love writing letters...I love receiving letters even more (especially when they're non-bill related). There's something lovely about getting a handwritten note in the post and writing with an old fashioned fountain pen is just about one of my favourite things to do. My handwriting used to be atrocious and since I abandoned all hope of ever writing both joined up and legible words it's become a lot neater. What with all of the recession doom and gloom it seems like letter writing might bring some cheer to the impending morning post !
I feel like my blog has become a little self indulgent recently so I'm going to start posting all of the little bits and pieces that catch my eye.

Strolling aimlessly (and empty walleted) through Selfridges at the weekend, I came across the Christmas department. Now while a very small part of me thinks it's too early for Christmas shenanigans the rest of me embraces it. The mere glint of a sparkly bauble reminds me of gingerbread, cinnamon and the smell of a christmas tree. So I'm starting early with the holiday birdies...
