i can't sleep at night...

so last night i sat in my room rather late staring at the walls as i couldn't sleep! ahhh its driving me crazy. i get ready for bed, get into bed...and then i can't sleep. i try reading, and that used to make me sleepy, but its doesn't anymore....I had to get up early this morning, me and mum did at boot sale to raise some money for our holiday in September, as every little bit counts. it was sooo hot today! and standing in one spot in the sun all day does take it out of you. we raised quite a bit! and i sold lots of stuff..although i did end up buying a couple of DVDs. i had a chat with the stall holders, as they were selling everything they had so they could go to Australia. I thought that was amazing, packing up and selling everything you own so you could escape to where you wanted to go...wonderful! i hope they have a brilliant time.i also received a wonderful letter from Jane the other day! thank you very much Jane , it was simply fab!i am also very happy to say that i have been given two awards! :) the first one is from {sprinkle} tiaras atop our pastel hair;;, wow thank you very much for this lovely award!i would like to now pass this on to the FAB; wild tendency, the amazing; from lina, the arty; a drawing journal and the wonderful; My pointe of view.

i hope everyone is wonderful! and yay for Jessica Ennis won heptathlon gold at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin!!!!! wahoo!

would you take a pound for it?

today i woke up quite early, and went to a boot sale with my lovely friend Mandy. when we got there, there was not many stalls, (i think that might have been because it was raining really hard this morning) however we did find a few bits and pieces we liked. I found two cute brooches which were £1 each, which i thought was quite good, and i got a tea tin which cost me 50p, and i thought i would be able to fill it with some sort of treasure. :) after looking round we decided to go for a little drive. the weather was getting better. we stopped to look at some Poppy's. i felt quite happy as i sat in the car and took in the countryside. i guess i have missed it quite alot, since i have been living in a city. it was nice to be back.

while on our drive, i found an amazing car, which i would love to be able to drive! it looks beautiful and lots of fun.i also nipped round my nan and grandad's house today with my dad. it was really nice to see them, and i love being in their house. nan feed us cheese and biscuits, and a lovely piece of chocolate roll. while at their house i got to visit gdad's shed (which i love) and i found two small chairs my sister and myself used to sit on..they had been cleaned and ready to give away for someone else to use. I remember that i had lots of Beatrix Potter stickers on my chair.

home sweet home

so i am back home in my little town, away from noise, uni, lots of people. when i get home from uni, i know that i am home...but i don't feel i am home anymore...i am not sure where i belong now. don't get me wrong, i am welcomed back by family and friends who are so happy to see me..but i just have the feeling because i am away at uni for long periods of time..the idea of home is sipping away..and its not my home anymore...well not until summer when i come home for good.now i was happy to be going home for the Easter holidays..however now i am back i am not sure. its a weird thing..when you don't have something you miss it so much...but when you do have it..you long for a difference. i know its silly...but knowing i only have a couple of months left living away from home at uni, living with my flatmates-my best friends that i have only known just under 3 years-who i now believe to be life long friends, living in a city, being able to do what i want, go wherever i want...and that will all soon disapear..forever..it makes me sad. and i don't want to lose it all just yet.

so home! well mum has finally chosen a wallpaper for the living room, its on one wall, and i love it so much. its beautiful.

i went to a boot sale today..eek, its good to be back looking through junk and looking for beautiful finds. i found an old doctor's bag (i need to give it a good clean before i take a good photo), some old photos, a child's letter to their parents, an old pop up Christmas card, and a beautiful bird pin. i think i am going to start collecting broaches, i think i have fallen in love with them.
