Stage one of becoming Mrs M..

Most Brides secretly do it, I’m just honest enough to admit it…

..Okay, so I’ve opened an email account in my married name!

Sad? Yes. Geeky? Yes. Very early? Yes. Exciting? YES!!!!

But I can’t help it! I cannot wait to be Mrs M and so anything that attaches me to my new name and new ‘life’ is a do-er to me!!

I have to admit, I do love my new, shiny, married-name email address! I get no mail to it yet (apart from the occasional message from Mr M), but it’s there, and it’s ready and waiting for me to send my very first “I’m-now-a-married-woman” email!

I also had to sign Mr M up for a Nectar card the other day, and before finishing the process there was the option to have an additional cardholder… So my married name went on that too! I will probably never use it, but it’ll be something that I can squeal over for the next 702 days until its official!

Better get practising that new signature…!! Eeek!!!

Past Times is closing down :(

It’s a sad time, because the lovely vintagey shop Past Times has gone into administration and is closing down : ( 

Past Times is one of those wonderful shops where the stock they sell is just gorgeous and reminds you of your childhood. Vintage looking games, cushions, jewerely.. just lovely stuff. So I’m very sad it’s closing down.

However, the closing down of this shop means.. SALE! And a minimum of 50% off too!

I went in there at the weekend, and picked up some lovely cushions, a wall plaque, a gorgeous embroidered footstool AND my wedding day necklace!!

The necklace I found was similar to a necklace my Nan wore when she was alive but broke a few years back; loads of see through, but light catching glass beads. And its the perfect necklace to go with my dress – its a statement necklace, but not so bold that it sticks out like a sore thumb! And for £5.40 it was an absolute BARGAIN.

They also had some lovely jewelry boxes – a perfect gift for your Bridesmaid perhaps?

Its definitely worth taking a trip to your local store to see if there is anything perfect for your wedding (or home, or anywhere!), or check out the sale online:

I love a bargain, but I am very sad that one of my favourite shops will soon no longer be around
