Friday is my happy day. Its the day I drop Little Lady at nursery and spend a happy hour or so meandering home through the town shopping. Our town has a thriving street market four days a week, and Friday is one of those days. I stop to buy local cheeses, free range farm eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables, olives, pots of bulbs. I carry my favourite spotty Paperchase bag and feel quite jaunty
. 
I treat myself to a magazine, a bunch of pink tulips and some beautiful greetings cards with inspiring colours. I love hearts, I think you could say I officially have a thing about them. I hoard pictures with hearts on and heart decorations, I'll show you some time.
Our town also has 8 (yes EIGHT) charity shops - I have to be in the
mood for these and today I felt like visiting one or two. I bought a
pair of Oasis jeans for £2 (too boring to photograph but I am suitably
impressed with myself for finding such a bargain), and this beautiful
box.
Looky inside, its for keeping Birthday cards in. 
A bit too organised for me really, I usually adopt the mad-dash-at-the-last-minute approach to card sending, but the box was so pretty I thought I could keep my stationary, cards and envelopes in it anyway and pretend to be very organised and in control. And yes it was £2 also. I love Fridays.

I love hearts too, and this photo of yours will sooner or later end up in my blog, I am warning you! (just like the other one).
In fact, you are giving me a lot of photo inspiration here! We have the same taste for beautiful and colourful things and those small but special moments.

I thought I'd posted a comment to this post Luce, but clearly not - silly Clairey.
Anyway I am loving your charity shop finds.
Nearly moving day for me - eeeeeeeeeeeek!
Lots of love

Hi Lucy?
I'm presuming that is your name from the other feedback you have. Like you I'm fairly new to world of blogs. I only discovered them just before Christmas, and what a fantastic discovery! Reading each day about all the talented, crafty homemakers out there is like getting a Christmas gift every day to open! I was excited to see that you have only had your own blog for 3 days, as I have been toying with the idea of starting my own too. I'm frightened it takes over and I won't have time to craft though.
Like you I live in North Yorkshire, relocating here last September. We've moved 120 miles, so my family and friends are a two and a half hour journey away. But like you I have an "attic studio" that doubles as a guest room, and a new house that needs making into a home.
Well good look with your blog, I look forward to keeping up with your homemaking.

Hi, what a nice start into the weekend. And your house is so lovely. I like the old british way to build houses. Wish I could look inside...
Greetings from Germany
