My favourite are these London themed ones - very Cool Britannia!

Apologies I've been a little lax in my blogging, what with the Christmas fever and all. So I've got a couple of posts for you today!

First up - how about this lovely Etsy find from kittyrogers. Perfect for the start of a New Year, especially if your desk is as cluttered as mine....

Today, I am departing a little from pro-consumerism. Well I'm still encouraging you to spend - but all for a good cause and to put a little variety back into the Christmas number 1 race. Yes I'm jumping on the rage against the machine band wagon. So go and buy Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine now!

To see where it all started go here:

Today, I am mostly loving the work of Eclectic Eccentricity - lovely jewellery. Here are some of my faves:

Perfect for xmas presents and stocking fillers in my opinion!

First up, I discovered these on the wonderful http://www.rockmywedding.co.uk/.

How divine are these pictures? If only I had the cash to invest in some lovely wall art.

Take a look at http://www.coulsonmacleod.com/ for details etc....

Even if I had the cash, I'd have a nightmare choosing which one!

Ah the recession. It is greatly limiting my over-consumerism and consumption of frivolous things. Pay freezes, pay cuts, redundancies, job uncertainty, negative equity. If I have felt guilty in the past about my spending, I feel even worse now. So I am going to create a blog where I can show off all those lovely things I can no longer buy.... And who knows, maybe it'll kick start some frivolous spending for other people. The cult of consumerism may just live on.
