I've only got two things to show you this time. I'm trying to cut back my spending a little, and really, our house is too full!
But it's OK, because I really, really, really love what I bought!
This plate is one of those things that I saw one week, practiced good will power and left behind. But then it was still there the next week, so I decided it was meant to be mine and bought it quickly! I love it so! It says 'Gottschlich' on the front and Britannia Designs on the back. I couldn't find much about Britannia Designs online, but I did find a bit about Gottschlich, which lead me to my next purchase.

Gisela Gottschlich hedgehog plate, Severn Hospice charity shop, £1.49.
After some online research I found that Gisela Gottschlich, the illustrator who drew the hedgehogs for my plate, had drawn lots of other lovely things, and I fell a bit in love with her. A conversation on Facebook lead me to this book, which I found for a bargain on Ebay. It's really beautiful, I love the style of the illustrations and it's so lovely and Christmassy.
What have you been buying? Any good bargains or new obsessions?

DeleteCute plate Susie - and I always find that buying something that has duel purpose (being both beautiful and practical) is always economical - well that's my excuse anyway and I am sticking to it :) :)
