For those who don't know, Arreitty is the newest Studio Ghibli film (others include Spirited Away, Ponyo etc). It was so good! I have never been to see one in the cinema that is subtitled before, they've usually been shown here dubbed, so it was nice to see it with subtitles... maybe i'll go and see it again when they have dubbed over it with American accents. The story is based on 'The Borrowers' which I remember being a TV series when I was younger, and the BBC are actually making a new series to be shown this Christmas... Stephen Fry is in it! (Gonna be good!)

I have two little holidays booked. I've worked non stop lately, so I can't wait! Me and Rob are going to see our friend in Aberystwth (in Wales) in a couple of weeks, and then in October I'm going to Harlech (also in Wales) for my dad's 60th birthday. In case you haven't guessed... WE LOVE WALES!
Hopefully while I'm there I'll get to visit lots of charity shops. These are my latest charity shop finds in Liverpool:

Two cute teapots.... neither of which are actual teapots. They have closed up spouts, but that's ok, still cute!
I also found this owl vase in TK Maxx. I think it'll be my new knitting needle holder.

Before I show off some cute photo's and pictures, I'd like to share something that's annoying me and happening all the time. This scarf here, as you can see, is KNITTED:

However, Accessorize (not the only company to make this obvious mistake) claims that it is CROCHET. WRONGO! It has the tiniest bit of crochet at each end, but 99% of it is knitted. I've seen this now in Topshop, New Look and now Accessorize. I know I'm a knitter and crochet-er, so it's really obvious to me to be able to see/tell the difference. But it's annoying.
Right, moan over... Here's my dog (Tammy) looking cute after a rainy walkies:

ReplyDeleteThe crochet/knitted thing has been annoying me for ages... I'm a knitter too and everytime I see something that's been knitted being sold as crochet, I throw an internal mini hissy fit :o) Love your blog by the way x
