As some of you might know if you watch my vlog channel, Matt & I are planning to move in together. We are in the very early stages, trying to choose an area, working out our budgets and all that fun stuff, but we have started to collect a few things for when we do finally have a place. I think its nice to get little stuff together before you find somewhere, for practical reasons so you don't have a huge amount of things to buy your first month in the new place, for excitement, and also because the kind of style I like (eclectic and vintage looking) takes a bit of time to put together, collecting things here and there so it doesn't just look like you went to a supermarket and bought everything from one place.
One of our favourite home shops is the Derbyshire Craft Centre at Calver Bridge/Curbar Edge. They have a lovely little coffee shop and although the shop is only small, its really reasonably priced and sells cute brands like East of India. We were driving past today and decided to pop in just before they closed. Luckily they had a sale on and we picked up some bargains. Everything seen here cost a grand total of £23.
I think we managed to get quite a bit for our money! I would definitely recommend the shop if you are nearby or passing through, have a gingerbread latte whilst you're there and walk up to Curbar Edge. The view is beautiful :)

The soup bowls with slots for each spoon is darling! Congrats and I so look forward to seeing future blog posts on this exciting adventure :)
How odd. I have that tea tray and coasters as part of a set with a mug I got when I moved into my new place from a friend. And my boyfriend received the soup bowls from my parents as a gift for Christmas - he loves cooking! x
That's absolutely lovely, thanks for sharing with us!
