what Georgie wore

This post was supposed to be about my love for thrift shops and second-hand goods but today was the type of day that leaves me with enough energy to make homemade bolognese and watch a movie. Why? Well, our morning started off with Georgie spilling ground cinnamon EVERYWHERE. I was making scrambled eggs at the time, which he refused to eat. I then had to rush out and hunt for a table for our new home because a certain well-known furniture store could not give us a delivery date for the table we wanted and gave a deposit on SIX MONTHS ago!

All definitely worked some magic.

The second, this lion mask I picked up from a One Pound Shop outside of London, is hands-down one of his favourite things to play with. He happily posed in it for a few seconds before I had to promptly put down the camera and pretend to be a lion. As you do.

LOVE

It’s been all around these last few days. My daddy, as you can see, has arrived home safe and sound. Seeing him here, spotting him walking Bear, his new dog, and watching him enjoy a homemade Sunday lunch with all the people who have been so good to him over the month makes me want to thank each and every one of them and say a big I Love You!
