Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar


Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy

This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars.

Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me)  you just want to treat yourself a little bit.

The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that.

For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options. 



If you want something a bit different this year, then Etsy has it all, from candles to dad jokes to purely decorative calendars. There really is something for everyone and I have collated a few here including this gorgeous candle that comes in a variety of scents.

Finally, if you want to pick the gifts yourself but need a gorgeous way to display them year on year these personalised options may be for you. 

There really is something for everyone on my list, including the canine members of the family, but this little refillable chimney with cardboard gifts has stolen my heart this year. I don't know why, but the video of this in action makes me smile every time.

If you have a favourite seller or advent calendar that I haven't mentioned, please do share it with me. I am making a conscious effort to shop small this year, as are many others, and word of mouth really does help independent sellers.

Products I have shared lately

I have been making more of an effort to share on social media but with that, the blog has fallen away. I am going to try and find some sort of middle ground so I thought I would start with things I have been talking about elsewhere on social media lately. To start with we have my new favourite book (albeit that it is for children). Mary and Frankenstein - Both the story and the illustrations and enthralling    And this is another gorgeous children's book that I got for the illustrations, though more specifically the colour palette. I think the pop of neon with neutral colours is something I want to experiment with.   what is your favorite illustrated children's book? Finally - my product of choice at the moment is Turner gouache though I am going to treat myself to some of these Shin Han hybrid paints this month to try them out I have set up an Amazon store with some of my favorites so it is easy for you to find everything I love in one place.   h...

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa   

Found Poetry - Sharpened with plenty of vinegar

Sharpened with plenty of vinegar One fat dumpy lady Grossly intimate most definitely not puritan Awkward Guilt A failed chapter The phrases for this poem came from  Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry by B S Johnson. A birthday present from my husband in 2018 that has to be one of my favourite books ever despite me needing to read it with a dictionary beside me. Perhaps it spoke to me only because of my day job but nonetheless speak to me it did and the language inspired a series of found poems. This is the first and my favourite as it is a self-portrait in poetry form. 12 October 2018
