so much has happened i do not know where to start...

the beautiful lucy, whom i am smilie with for being back, tagged with me the 'four tag'...
A: Four places that I go to over and over:
home to the cottage, university, this cute little boutique of everything-tokenhouse, cinema
B: Four people who email me regularly:
rosy rosie my moon best friend, father, mother, amazon updates
C: Four favourite smells:
freshly cut grass, coffee, although i do not like the taste, mother's washing, father's old scent
D: Four places I would rather be right now:
tucked up under the covers with pig watching the princess diaries again, home at the cottage with mother and samuel, on the moon with my moon friends, at dotty's cafe eating raspberry filled cupcakes and drinking tea
E: Four people I tag:
F: Four TV shows I watch: sex and the city, the oc, charlie and lola, britain's next top model.

happy weekend.
i will comment to you all tomorrow poppets.
You DO live in my city, I live but literally a little walk from the magical bookshop and dotty's. In fact, the whole of Mansfield Road is pretty great. If you go up that nice gated tree lined walk way across from dotty's, you get to my house:) I love your blog a lot. And you definitely need to check out The Walk, if you haven't already been xx
ReplyDeletea busybusy bee you have been my dear! you also watched many movies! may i suggest to you, miss pettigrew lives for a day. you will adore it. just wanted to leave you a quick comment. xo
ReplyDeleteOh, how very wonderful it is to have you back again, it's so nice to see your magical life unfold through your beautiful pictures, for you sprinkle everything with fairy dust, you see, and it makes me wish i had a bit of my own.

Oh I am so happy that you are back! What a magical magical time you had. Those dresses are amazingly sparkly and wonderful. And all those sweets!
ReplyDeleteI want to find a magical bookstore as well. I work in one, but I want to find one with old books and an old books smell. One I can hide in the corner of and pretend it is my house and my secret hideaway. Like a treasure island.
Thank you so so much for the tag and the award! Penelope is so happy too, and tonight we will snuggle together (As much as we can snuggle she can't stop being excited about everything, unless I scratch the right spot behind her ears that is...) and figure out the answers to the tag together.
Have a wonderful magical day, dear!
MJ

It is so very lovely to see that you have returned to blogland. I know your magical writing has been missed. And so many fabulous pictures and stories awaited us. What a fabulous end to my day! I wish I could live in England and have fairy tea parties and eat pink pig sweets and catch white fluffy snowflakes on my tongue.
ReplyDelete♥
beautiful post. that dress is amazing on you. all your posts are so cute and magical. i really feel like i am entering fairy tale land when i come here. and i love old books. i always go to the friends book store at the library and they sell really old books for like 1 or 2 dollars apiece, so of course i can't resist. i wish i lived in a room like that too. so pretty and well-organized and put together.

ReplyDeleteyou want to be a princess? seriously? seriously? i like your blog, the whimsical desires and pictures of cupcakes and teacups and pink things in general are lovely and remind me of when i was younger, but girlie, i'm probably the same age as you and i have not heard that wish being expressed during the last 10 years.
ReplyDeleteHello! I hope you got my picture comment! I'm not sure you did..I might have not actually sent it, so I'm posting a link here!

ReplyDeleteTwo tiny little cupcake houses just opened in Dubai and I am so very excited to visit them! One has a big pink sign and is called "kitsch." What a fun girly outing they would make.
ReplyDeleteI was just given a gift wrapped box of fine tea from a specialty tea store, which is such a treat! It's South African tea, and thankfully for my poor stomach, is naturally decaf! It's wonderful.
That room is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of some of the graphics that artist Vanessa Valencia does...she is lovely!! (afancifultwist.typepad.com)
love,

ReplyDeleteThank you very much.... :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy with this lovely award.Especially because it was made by you.... :)
Happy weekend to you too......
truly beautiful post. I wish I was in England so I could go to the Magical bookshop. I'm trying to come to Wales for grad school so maybe I will get to go in the near future. And its true, old books are sooo much better than brand new ones. Especially old, hard bound books with golden imprints, and browning pages. Also loved the dress!
ReplyDeletethank you for commenting on my 'cupcakes' post. If you ever come to new york city, go to magnolia bakery, they are wonderful!
Oh wow! Thanks for your comment. I'd just finished writing a post and I noticed I had one from you :-) Very sweet of you to take the time to look at my blog.
ReplyDeleteMost of the post I just wrote is actually about a book/film I really think you would love. 'The Secret of Moonacre' is the film that (just out in the cinema) and the book it is based on is 'The Little White Horse' by Elizabeth Goudge. It's the most magical, lovely story. I haven't actually seen the film yet- but I am very excited!
xx
What a wonderful, lovely and magical post!
ReplyDeleteI always like reading your text and watching the photo's.
And yes indeed, the feeling of snow make you so childish but that's the nice thing about it, you wake up, go outside and play in the snow.
~Sofie
I have missed you oh so much, my dear! It's so nice to see you back with your wonderful sweetness once again in this post.

Oh, I watched A Little Princess secretly the night before last, on my birthday night.
ReplyDeleteI would always always always want to be a princess.
I's wear a golden crown crown with sparkles and jewels and princess dresses all day long. I'd live in a big castle, in the middle of Neverland.
I wish I could be a fairytale princess, but not a real life princess. They all seem so...modern. They never wear princess dresses. =(
((I'm sure you heard of princessportal.com by now, I love it there forever))
