But, it's Wednesday (or it will be when you read this!) and you're here to see a desk... or at least, my space on the floor. and as the title suggests, I've been shopping again!
The box full is a fabulous box of goodies I won on a blogoversary giveaway from a non-WOYWW crafty friend (yes, there are some!) Lesley - and boy it was like Christmas opening it and seeing what was in there.
I will be finding homes for it soon (well probably next week, when I'm off work) All the rest round about is my normal "desk"!! Rapidly running out of floor... (and yes, I've already got stuff in the hallway...)
In case you missed the post on my photosbyh blog I'll just share this one* photo here with you of the Poppy installation at the Tower of London to commemmorate WW1 from Saturday - if anyone is wondering whether to go - YES if you can, go!! It was fabulous - and will only get bigger and better before November when the final poppy is "planted"
If you want to know more,or want to buy one of the poppies (I have - wonder which is mine?! ) this is the link you need.
If you come back later, there'll be another post with my DragonsDream TIO tag.. see you then!
Look at all those treats you have there. Have fun with all your new toys
ReplyDeleteAll those poppies look amazing.

Ooh, lots of lovely goodies on your floor today - love those stamp sets and can see you were so lucky to win that box of stash from Lesley. I was so sorry to hear about the death of Robin Williams too - loved him since his Mork days and stunned to find my DH has never seen Good Morning Vietnam! The sea of poppies is just so stunningly beautiful - and very moving. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos. Have a lovely WOYWW and a great week. Elizabeth x #45
ReplyDeleteAll those new toys - not envious at all. The poppy installation looks amazing - I think I will try to get up there with my friend. Happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteLove all the new goodies, you just need to find a space for them.
ReplyDeleteWish we were in England to visit the poppies, how amazing are they, so impressive especially the ones flowing down the wall , such a worthy cause too.

Not more stuff!!! Love the poppies and thanks for the link. Stopped by your tag too and it is super. BJ - yes I am still alive - #69
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know I'm not the only one with big piles of goodies this week! I really need to clean up my space! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI was so distraught about Robin Williams this week. I've actually cried a few times watching some of his old work online. He was absolutely one of my all-time favorites. I cant believe he's gone...so sad.
The poppy pics are gorgeous! I have a few of those in my yard...or did last month when they were blooming!
Happy WOYWW!

Hi Helen,
ReplyDeleteWow - your floor is getting as piled as my table (which I didn't show because I now have my desk upstairs in my bedroom). I'm amazed that you can work on the floor!
Love all the goodies you've received. I have the bird stamp set on order from the locally owned stamp store.
The poppies are absolutely amazing. So glad you shared the two photos!
Also, I was saddened to hear of Robin Williams. I grew up watching Mork and Mindy.
Today I'm off work so hoping to get around to at least those that have visited me so far.
Happy WOYWW
Peace, Kay (14)
Wowsers..nice new stamps, may have to go look more intently at them...! What a generous win too, how lovely! I can't tire of your poppy pics..really just talk to Mr D about a day off....
ReplyDeleteLovely things to play with there Helen. What a wonderful 'win' you had there. The poppies look amazing don't they. I knitted some, along with another two members of knitting group I used to run and sent them off to be made into wreaths as part of celebrations. Thanks for visiting me. Anne x #32

ReplyDeleteGood shopping! And thank you for sharing the poppies - I've been meaning to look up some photos since I discovered I know the designer who helped create it. We're about to work together again on this NY job! Utterly beautiful, and so haunting.
