Shopping List Saturday..and a winner

Posted on 2:15 PM by fdgdfg
My shopping list inspiration this week comes from my memories of fancy dress parties when I was young. The very first costume I ever had was Little Red Riding Hood, complete with cape and little basket. Over the years I've continued to be inspired by that scarlet red cape, mysterious forests and adventures down the garden path.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a village near the forest. Whenever, she went out, the little girl wore a red riding cloak, so everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.

I just love how fairytales and fables inspire such wonderfully creative pieces. There is something so enchanting about entering that world, long lost inside a dusty old book hidden on a bookshelf. It is so delightful to see those childhood memories explored and transformed into works of beauty.

I hope your day brings you many adventures, remember to take you cape and basket and not to speak to anyone in that resembles a wolf in a top hat. I'm delighted to have this beautiful day to create for a secret that I'm working on. More to be revealed soon. I also think a little trip around the antique stores is in order for some books, trinkets and just to be surrounded by inspiration.

The winner of my little giveaway 'thank you' brooch is the lovely Mollimoo. Thank you all so much for your lovely comments, it just makes my day! I'm nearing my one year anniversary of Her Library Adventures at the end of March and to celebrate I will be having a very special giveaway so keep an eye out.

Take a moment to brew a fresh pot of tea and pop over to the the fabulous Fancy Picnic to check out the other amazing Shopping Lists. The perfect way to begin a Saturday.

Have a fabulous carefree Saturday!
