A (very) little bit of retail therapy.......

Whenever I go back to Dorset, there is one shop

I have to visit.

It's called Magpie.

(this isn't a great website - but at least you'd know where to find

it if you wanted to visit!)

It is in Poundbury, the controversial brain-child of the Prince

of Wales.

(differing opinions to be found here and here)

They have a wonderful selection of gifts and cards. I often

buy tins there or cards or just something that takes

my fancy.

Do you want to see what took my fancy this time?

Thought you might!!

First, I bought a case for my camera. I have to admit that my
lovely camera has been living in the plain, black sock
that came with it free!! I know, shocking. I had
planned to make one but it just hadn't happened yet.
Now I don't need to feel ashamed, because the wonderful
Cath Kidston has done it for me (and all for just £8!)

Lastly, I thought the boys might like these when we
next make cakes!

If you saw the shop, you'd know how restrained I was!
Mind you, I am planning my next trip!
