GIFT GUIDE #2. SOUVENIR GIFTS FOR GIRLS.

This post was not planned at all so it appears here very unexpectedly. I was not prepared for it, therefore, I found only one suitable picture for it. That's a shame cos now I think it could have been useful for some of you. 

Before going on holiday to Lithuania I knew for sure that I would want to spend it in my Mom's homestead with her girlfriends. Yes, HER girlfriends. She has quite a bunch of them, they all have extremely different personalities and I am the only daughter for all of them :D, so I wanted to surprise them, spoil them a bit and pamper. I wanted the souvenir gifts to be unexpected, useful and pleasurable:

So, the list of gifts:

1. Plastic red baskets (Wilko, the link is to another colour).

2. Notebooks "Thoughts of An Absolute Genius" (Wilko). Every bottom of the page of this notebook has pictures of glasses like mine, so I thought this would be kind of personalised gift and would remind a little bit of me.

3. Fridge magnet with views of the region I live in (Waterstones).

4. Soap and Glory body scrub (Boots).

5. My favourite Thorntons chocolates.

6. And, of course, tea for girls Pukka Womankind.    

I wrapped everything in Paperchase tissue paper and secured the package with a sticker. It is a perfect gift for a cousin or grandmother :)

That is my recipe for a souvenir gift for girls :)

HOLIDAY @ HOME OF A CAT

This summer I spent two weeks in Blouse's fazenda. But before that I visited the capital city and Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania!

And here is the Dutchess herself:

Unlike Blouse, fazenda is not shabby at all. To tell the truth I thought it looked more like a little mansion with all amenities. It was surrounded by lots of flowers of different colours (that is the only way I can recognise flowers: red flower, blue flower, yellow flower...), statues and all kinds of objects in apple trees.

By the way, like a proper Mrs. Cat, Blouse has a servant my Mom, who is responsible for all interior and exterior design details. Just have a look what posh plates and bowls Mrs. Cat is eating from...

What did I do there? I was reading readings,

was sniffing roses that came to Blouse's fazenda from my grandparent's late homestead,

was staring at BBQ smoke,

all messed up in the mornings was walking on the grass,

was taking a picture of a snail cos my Mom told me to,

and had a walk in the up-to-my-knees forest! :D 

Shame my lazy days ended quicker than it came....



BEHIND THE SCENES:


rain,

wine,

green cheddar cheese,


yellow chicken kotlets,

sweet cherry I did not eat,

dried-up well,

sweet sleep,

creme brulee latte,

my feet in ice cold pool...
