Last week we had one of our traditional half term trips to London. We sent to see Mamma Mia and loved it.
We did some shopping as you would expect and also quite a lot of window shopping ! This was the display in Church's shoe shop near Savile Row. Northampton is famous for shoe making and it was lovely to see the display in this very smart window saying 'Made In Northampton'.
We had a wander around some of the beautiful shopping arcades.
We loved this display of pastel coloured macaroons.
We then headed in to Fortnum and Masons
the shop windows were all decorated for Halloween
inside were wonderfully carved pumpkins
and pumpkin cakes.
Of course there were also plenty of Christmas decorations, this staircase looked stunning.
This is Mr Holmes outside Baker street tube station.
I am sure you can guess where this is, we decided to go to the shop on Marlebone High Street as we had never been there before. From the outside the building lacks the character of most of her other shops but inside it was exactly as you would expect.
This patchwork is actually wallpaper
I love this beautiful digital printed wallpaper but it is incredibly expensive
the shop windows were very Christmassy
I treated myself to Christmas crackers, a set of Christmas tea towels( I buy some every year), some serviettes and a tin of Christmas tags. The tags are lovely and I have already decided to use some to make a Christmas garland rather than use them all on presents.
