Views of Edinburgh.....

I am very fortunate to have lived in Edinburgh.  It's a city I fell in love immediately. 

One of my favourite quirky things is the old police boxes that are no longer in use that are dotted around around the city (though one or two are used as coffee bars).  This particular one sits on the infamous Princes Street in the heart of the city.

One of my other favourite things about Edinburgh is it's seedy back streets and alleys, lending itself to become a fabulous backdrop for photography.  This is a little shaky as it was taken as we were driving, but I still love it........

Clickety Chicks at Harvey Nics!!

I always like to support a worthwhile cause, and one of the charities I support is Action For Children. Every so often they organise a fundraising event called Clickety Chicks - an upmarket bingo, raffle and dinner held at Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh.

Whilst I was unable to attend the event, due to other committments - I donated this pendant to be auctioned off.

Favourite things.....

Sew by Cath Kidston

Wanted Cath Kidstons Sew for Christmas, and was a very happy bunny when I unwrapped this! Can't wait to get started on a quilt for my boudoir, the search for the perfect fabrics is on! Available from Cath Kidston outlets and Amazon.

Imagine the delight on my face when I realised Edinburgh has an Urban Outfitters! (I'm not normally so slow on the uptake, but have been avoiding Princes St due to the disgraceful tram situation). Even more delighted when I spied a cute little jacket by Silence + Noise, in the softest of black leathers and very chuffed when I managed to get my grubby hands on one for half price. Be warned.....this will not leave my back for most of 2010.......visit http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/page/home for some amazing products.
