Every Monday I write a post that includes some of the things that we love at The Ana Mum Diary. I’ve called it ‘I Love Mondays’ a kind of antithesis to the ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’ hit by the Boomtown Rats. I plan on helping the Monday blues with beautiful things. I will virtual shop for your every need. Perhaps introducing you to something that you may have not seen or been to before. You are in good hands, sit back and grab a cuppa
Another glorious weekend, the sun was shining through the clouds here. It’s officially spring time, I hope I don’t find any more clocks to change though!
We went to our local garden centre (Wheatcroft: Notcutts in Nottingham) on Saturday. We picked up some plants to brighten up a border at the front of the house. We saw chickens and bunny rabbits, much to the little Misses delight!
Miss A tried on hats, and then entertained us with a puppet show.
I was shocked by just how much variety there was to buy, if you really spent enough time smooching around. Lots of big names, Emma Bridgwater, Masons and Joules clothing. There was even a Jamie Oliver fire pit, that I fell in love with!
Oh, I am so dreaming of a long BBQ filled summer!
I’ve also have been looking at the new ranges that Paperchase have released for spring.
An aluminium water bottle £5.00
Apologies for the size of the image, I wasn’t able to make it any larger.
Perfect for spring, or if you are addicted to twitter. This range is called Ava, here is something else from the collection.
Small Journal for £4.75.
And finally….
If you remember a few weeks ago I hosted giveaway with Tobyboo. Well I’ve just heard the fantastic news that her work will be soon available in the Mary Portas shop – House of Frazer. Including an extended range of her sticky tape. With not only a London skyline, but Manchester and Glasgow! I am so thrilled for you Tina!
Thank you for reading

Ooh lots more lovely things! I very much heart the Paperchase things. I am a huge fan of Paperchase as I am generally obsessed with stationery and so have to walk past their shops at high speed to avoid adding to my already huge collection!
