Hi, it's Maria here and I'm hoping that you're all well and enjoying the first signs of Spring. I'm sitting at my kitchen table and I can see that there isn't a cloud in the sky. I was tempted to open the french doors and let some fresh air in but it is a tad chilly.
I just caught sight of my girlie wirlies whizzing past on their scooters and the sound of laughter is good for the soul. They are bundled up in hoodies and gilets with lovely rosie cheeks.
Anyhoo, that's enough about me. Today I am going to share one of my favourite blogs and bloggers, Andrea Singarella.
Seeking everyday beauty and velvet strawberries has been one of my daily haunts for about a year now. I loved seeing the beautiful trinkets that she picked up in flea markets. You can imagine my excitement when Andrea announced that she would be opening a web boutique One hundred wishes and she would be shipping to the UK.
Andrea's blog is made up of snippets about her beautiful family and some fabulous snapshots of her home. Now, if like me you love anything vintage and girlie you will just want to move in with her.
The shop is stocked with the most amazing seasonal goodies and the necessities of life like glitter, glue, buttons, ribbons and millinery. There are one off pieces of jewellery and decorative items that make the most fabulous gifts for yourself or a loved one.
Every purchase comes beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon and you get a big ole heart shaped lollypop as a thank you.
I've had to start hiding my parcels from Graham. Not because he doesn't want me to buy anything but he always tries to pinch the lollypop.
So, what are you waiting for? Don't take my word for it. Pop over to Seeking everyday beauty and velvet strawberries and see for yourself.
Have fun and don't blame me if lots of goodies fall into your basket.

Oh, thank you Maria! What a lovely post and such sweet things you have to say about my blog and shop. I'm thrilled that I have been a source of girlie inspiration for you.
Thanks, as always, for your supoort!
