Welcome to Wonderland

Hey,

Well it’s been a while!  My supposed mini leave of absence turned into an age and it’s been forever since my last post – so first things first, I must introduce to the world (or more accurately, to the 3 people who actually read this blog!) my new baby nephew Alfie:

He was born on October 5th and weighed in (I always wonder why people want to know baby weights – it’s the last thing on my mind when being told of a birth, but I still feel compelled to ask about it!) at a rather whopping 10lb 2!  He’s an absolute dream, has the bluest of eyes and a mass of soft blonde hair.  His older brother Harry, is not too sure about sharing his home with a baby, but aside from the occaisonal dirty look he does warrant a fleeting kiss or cry of “baby!” every so often too.  They’ll be little playmates in no time at all.

In other less cute news, I’m having a rather large sale at Wonderland Boutique!  For 1 week only from Novmber 1st to the 8th, I’m offering free worldwide shipping on everything in stock!  This is my attempt at creating the pre-Christmas rush that never seems to materialise on Etsy and which, after a shockingly slow October, would rather like to boost my little Wonderland somewhat.  Though I have somehow managed to complete all of my own Christmas shopping and it’s only just turned November which I think warrants a “yey me!”  I find it the most stressful thing to do and would rather spend the Christmas period enjoying the festivities and company of those I love instead of fretting over the money I have to spend and the queues I have to die in - so I have list after list of ideas for various people and just give myself a few days in which to research the best options and then I attack the shops in person and online, and this year it’s all done and dusted (save for the usual sundries of gift wrap, bows, bags etc) in very good time indeed!  So, if you’re not as organised as me and are beginning your seasonal shop, why not check out Wonderland Boutique for that great modern Clutch, fun useful Make-up Bag, or cute stocking filler Coin Purse and take advantage of my free worldwide shipping:

Clutch Bag - HEART OF GLASS

Make Up Bag - WOODLAND DREAMS
