love those cupcakes

New favourite

The local gallery I mentioned in the previous post has a rather good gift shop which sells some of Virgina Graham's* ceramics.

I'm loving these "inside out" mugs and our motley collection in the kitchen cupboard could certainly do with a bit of reviving.

On a less happy note, the Seven Days of Specialness swap has ended, just as I was getting into the swing of starting the day with the opening of a surprise package.  But I'm sure you're itching to find out what I received from my swap partner so here are all the goodies. (The little cupcake is actually a delicious smelling lip gloss). 

Yes, seven special February days indeed.

Coveting this

I love winter clothes.  It's probably something to do with all those layers, ideally topped by a proper winter coat.  I'm not one for high fashion (bit too old for that) and would rather buy something which will last more than one season.    Black is my all time favourite colour, whatever the time of year.  In my view, you can't go wrong with black,  though I've been bravely branching out into colours recently.  This is what I'm coveting at the moment - a Jaeger coat.  I love it.

                                                      

And I'm determined to have it!
