Fabulous blog award

Mimi from Palm trees and blue skies  is passing this award to me, much appreciated. Mimi is from California and always has something interesting to say.

To accept this award, I must list 5 things that I am addicted to and pass the award on to blogs I enjoy reading.

My addictions, in no particular order:

1. Coffee. I like my coffee strong and my two favourite coffee shops are Carluccio's and Cafe Nero. I collect coffeepots too
2. Friends and Family. 
3. Art, design,crafts and cooking. Any thing that is creative 
4. Books and Magazines. They are usually about Art, design, crafts or cooking 
5. Retro. I have eclectic taste and can see the value in objects others might not! I think that's why I like flea markets, jumble sales, charity shops and car boot sales.

I am passing this fabulous award to:

Being a Mummy  This local blog makes me smile, although my children are grownup, I remember those situations Claire writes about.

Belsize Square I like looking at Katrina's blog to see an Australian take on craft and design. Lots of fresh designs.

Being Mrs C  Penny is local, she writes about knitting, crafts, books and will soon, fingers crossed, be the owner of a garden. I am looking forward to hear what she makes of it

Fraiing I like the ideas on this blog from Anairam in South Africa.
