Parcels ....

It's a busy and exciting time of year in this little shop, Christmas parcels arriving and people just starting to tick things off their lists!!

One of my very favorite things about being a  shopgirl is decorating the shop for Christmas. 

Here is tiny selection of things that have arrived this week ...

Flowery Friday ...

So ... Spent the nicest morning at the flower sellers umming and ahhhing at the gorgeous blooms on display. With coffee in hand to ward off the frostbite and regretting not wearing more than a little summer dress, I headed into the fridge.

 It  took some time to choose the ones to take back to the shop for this weeks bunches, plus, they had a really good playlist on.   Anyhow ...
