I've been having a great UK shopping fix in Edinburgh this week, but it's still good to hear about what's going on in England. I was very relieved to note that my favourite independent shops are still open up here (I blogged about one of them yesterday). I had approached each one with fear, but in fact they seem to be holding on. Have a great Easter weekend!Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-81496766471909733012009-04-09T20:08:00.000+00:002009-04-09T20:08:00.000+00:00Hi Niki, thank you for your kind comments about th...Hi Niki, thank you for your kind comments about the website. I noted a very slight tinge of the "blues" from that comment and now that I have read your previous post, i see you may have indeed have had a bit of "down" day. I spend most of my time at home too. I usually love being at home but sometimes a break is needed and it is always nice to be home again after we have been out for awhile. I must say those cupcakes look wonderful. I spent the evening making cupcakes tonight with Georgia. They are not as pretty as your pic but they are yummy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-56256874620527591222009-04-09T17:18:00.000+00:002009-04-09T17:18:00.000+00:00I think we all like reading about each other's...I think we all like reading about each other's lives - I'm sure a lot of us are the same in that we spend a lot of time at home but sharing what we've made or a new vintage treasure or just a few photos keeps us all in touch. It's like having a street full of lovely neighbours where you can just pop in for a quick cup of tea & a chat at your fingertips!Country Cottage Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183233483232008162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-47176453732757081522009-04-09T16:26:00.000+00:002009-04-09T16:26:00.000+00:00Hi NikiYes it is a shame about the shops.

It is a pity that so many businesses have gone under.<BR/>A very nice display by Country cupcakes!<BR/>A couple of weeks ago, I went to Castle Cary for the first time in 9months and was disappointed to see that 3 of my favourite shop had closed. Wells is the same too. I used to like the shop next to the post office but now it's replaced by a high Street type shop. <BR/>Isabelle xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-86099120160210159022009-04-09T11:59:00.000+00:002009-04-09T11:59:00.000+00:00oh I do love those mosaic cupcakes, how gorgeous. ...oh I do love those mosaic cupcakes, how gorgeous.
