I was recently the lucky winner of two giveaways! One courtesy of the lovely Char and one from Intrinisically Florrie! I received both items within days of each other and thought I'd like to combine them in a post and say a huge thank you to both of them!
The lovely Char, who has a real eye for really cute, fun, quirky items and manages to team brilliant combinations of different garments together, sent me this wonderful blue clutch bag in the shape of a book- it is pale blue with a gold tassel and I adore how fun and different it is! CBC keeps joking about it!
In Florrie's giveaway, I won something we all know I love- a hat!!!But this one is unique! designed by Florrie and created as part of the Big knit!
Florrie is the most absolutely beautiful blogger who wears Lolita outfits. They are exquisite- a real feast for the eyes! I thought it would be fun to try and create a Kezzie interpretation of this (will be my one and only deliberate attempt at the Lolita style! I'd say it's a tenuous mix of Classic and Sweet Lolita ). I don't know the rules exactly, they are quite strict apparently, and obviously haven't followed them too closely- but I thought I'd make a nod to Florrie's beautiful style!

"Oh, what is that I spot in the top right photo?" I hear you cry! Yes, indeed, it is my engagement ring! It was the engagement ring my Dad gave to my Mum when he proposed to her- I was given it as my 21st birthday present. I have always told CBC that I didn't want him to buy me a ring- and i think I drummed the point home enough for him to relent of his sense that he should buy me one. I have never worn this ring before this time and what's the point of having it if you don't wear it!? Plus, I like the history of it, the fact that it is a daisy shape and the fact that CBC wont have to waste money on something so small as a ring!
School is winding down for most people except me! Today, I had a practice for the Christmas service at school, with Year 3 and Year 5 music lessons either side of it- REALLY pleased with the Year 5's- honestly, so happy with them! All of them seem to know what homophony, polyphony and antiphony are and produced a nice arrangement of a Christmas song.
Tonight, my home-group delivered the Christmas hamper gift-bags to the hostel, which was really lovely- it was so nice to meet them! We all had a warm joy inside us after it! Even the rain stopped!
I'm off to see Goodnight Mr Tom with Year 6 in London in the afternoon after a trek to the church for our rehearsal with choir, recorders, readers and drummers!
How's you?
Can I recommend you visiting Char and Florrie in the unlikely event you've never seen their blogs?
