sparkly sparkles and starry stars

oh blogger loves and sweet hearted souls and moon friends and such. i am extremely apologetic of my very long absence. you could not possibly imagine the work load. it has been so very high, even taller than me you know. well some of that work load has been completed and thankfully gone. my dissertation-visual product has been done, and i am so happy about that. *thank you all who helped me with that, the 'home comfort' questions.*
so much has happened i do not know where to start...

those weeks have also included new dresses of gold and silver and pink. new shoes of extravagant height and flat shoes of pale peachyness. new pyjamas for my freezing room. new books for specialness and love and inspiration. package preparations. new work projects. cutting and sticking and writing. giggling. smiling. grinning. blushing. singing. dancing. tea drinking. sweet eating. valentine card making. birthday card writing. snuggles with tilly~rose. snuggles with pig. films: the princess diaries. a little princess. miss potter. edge of love. ballet shoes. girl interrupted. changling. sleeping beauty. twilight. wild child. mary poppins.
sweet dreamtime tea with mother and her teaset and scottish shortbread.

special goodbye outings of pizza and fudge cake and grown-up-giggly-wine with best friend suz and more visits to her angus dog and koby cat.

leaving home at the cottage to travel back to the uni apartment, upon receiving special fairy mails of homesickness cures and home phone calls from mother. who also made me a teeny portion of shepherd's pie(cottage pie) which is my favourite of mother's cooking, a pot of white chocolate's from christmas, chocolate tree decorations and candy canes to take back with me. although completely sad and wanting to go back at first, for those couple of weeks, i am finally settled in with plenty of work and smiles and fashion parties.

tilly~rose too feels better. though she too missed mother alot alot. and samuel's attention.

obviously drinking plenty of tea and eating christmas chocolate's and sweets and pirate chocolate is helping alot, but the secret stash is getting so very teeny.

i found the most beautiful and magical bookshop here in the city, so hidden and a bit of a teeny adventure to it, but it is magical. the shop is covered floor to ceiling, wall to wall with books books books. piles and piles of that old scent and yellow tinted pages were so very piled high all the way up the old-carpeted narrow staircase and all the way to the top floor. i sit in the children's section and read and create my own teeny pile of perfection. when i pay, the lovely shopkeeper tells me all about how old books are better than the newer ones, where i happily agree and give him my pennies, which he puts in the old old very old fashioned till.

for after's i walk home with a raspberry filled cupcake with vanilla butter icing from dotty's vegan tearoom. where i had a whole teapot of tea to myself as i wait for the magical bookshop to open.
(image from lesinvasionsephemeres) i wish to live in such a perfection of a decorated room. this would be my fairytale thoughts on walls. it is adorable and this is why i completely wish to be a princess.
and this magical creation is what i wish mother to make me for my 'pink' themed party for my birthday in april. obviously i wish for a pink princess castle though with a gold glittered roof.
oh goodness! i think the wishes for snow worked! alot alot. look what happened to our beautiful outdoor surfaces here in england. is it not just perfection?! i made snow angels and wrote friend's names in the snow. and laughed and giggled and smiled with amazement at the white powdered magic. i felt happy and childlike. i adored it so.

going to the cinema always results in going to the shop first to buy sweets from the pick and mix trays with the brightly coloured sugared scoopers. i did not even eat all of mine, so i was lucky lucky lucky enough to enjoy them properly afterward. with tea and pink water.
