After a bit of an up and down week, it’s always good to have a few uplifting thoughts on a Friday to herald the beginning of the weekend. Linking up this week with Liv’s Little Bliss List and Mimi & Tilly’s Favourite Things Friday.
1. My New Handbag
Today, my gorgeous new Mulberry Tillie tote is having its very first outing. It’s a big departure for me to choose a handbag that’s not black, but when I saw this beauty on my recent visit to the Mulberry Factory shop, at a totally knock-down price, I knew it would be mine.
2. Weekend Away
So looking forward to a weekend away near Bath with my parents and my brother and his family. Am so grateful for all my lovely family and all the happy times we spend together.
3. Books
I’ve been trying very hard to avoid new books, as I have a bookcase full already, but a few charity shop bargains and some Readitswapit swaps have made their way into my bookcase so far this year.
4. No Alarm Calls
It’s been absolutely blissful to wake up naturally without the insistent ring of the alarm clock all this week. I intend to make the most of the next couple of mornings, as it’s back to school on Monday.



Love the bag especially the pockets on the front so useful. Would have preferred it in red though! Will NOT ask what it cost even at knock down prices!
Very nice handbag! And I love the picture of Woolley Grange. Looks like the kind of place that would have a secret passage or two and marvellous gardens!
Your new bag looks like a real treat, but time away … wonderful!!! Can’t have enough books! Nice to meet you. Have a blissful week! Wishing you well.
Thanks for linking up with FTOF. I’m absolutely loving your Mulberry bag. I have a passion for beautiful bags and yours is a beauty! Have a great day, Em ♥
Wow! I love that purse! My old shoulder won’t let me carry anything quite so big.
I agree – four lovely things! Enjoy your weekend break.
I totally agree with you, it is blissful to not have to wake up to an alarm.
Oh, books. How can books be anything but bliss?
Nice to give the new bag an outing, enjoy.
I am soooooooooooo envious of your bag! I saw it when it first came out and loved it but resisted and then only Friday a friend was giving her black version it’s first outing and those green feelings came back and now you’re taunting me with your purchase!!!
Hope you’re having a great weekend

What a beautiful new bag, so perfect for Spring! That looks like a gorgeous get-away location, totally jealous. New books are always good for the soul.
