Ho Ho Ho Mr Bluecrisps!!
By Jeannette | November 22, 2013
Another year nearly over and that time is looming for Mr Bluecrisps…the half day in town Christmas shopping.
Usually undertaken on a Sunday and with the aim of a quick, painless expedition. There is an inevitable trip to Pret A Manger to pick up what has to be the best shop-bought Christmas sandwich around and then the fun starts. Busy shops and an aimless wander around. To avoid this, Mr Bluecrisps has asked for some suggestions this year (which I’m quite relieved about tbh as we don’t exactly have money to fritter).
So, here’s some suggestions, some more achieveable than others:
Number one would be this CD by Emeli Sande. I’ve got two of her songs downloaded on my phone, I’m sure the rest is just as good.
We’ve had music for the ears, now something for the eyes:
This book caught my attention in Waterstones because of its title but the contents look pretty good too!

The Purple Book: Sensuality & Symbolism in Contemporary Art & Illustration
Foreword by Angus HylandIntroduction by Angharad Lewis Laura Laine: interview & portfolio Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti, illustrated by Laura Laine Contemporary illustration by Laura Laine, Yuko Michishita, Miss Van, Deanne Cheuk, Daisy Fletcher, Tran Nguyen, Conrad Roset, Tim Hon Hung Lee, Yuko Shimizu, Izzie Klingels Vania Zouravliov: interview &
And while we’re talking about a feast for the eyes, this is a must-have!
Our favourite viewing on a Sunday night.
Which brings me onto this, to watch the DVD (and others on). We have a DVD player downstairs but not upstairs. We don’t need an all-singing, all-dancing make-the-tea DVD player, just one that does the job. This one is from John Lewis.

It’s a wrap-thingy from M&S (located by the hats and gloves). It’s also available in black and is one size.
Mr BC laughs watching me pout whilst I’m tap-tap-tapping on my phone, but I like the idea of this stylus pen from Swarovski:

Stylus Pen, Light Amethyst – Fashion accessories – Swarovski Online Shop
Ideal for both writing by hand and typing on a touch screen! Filled with 100 sparkling Light Amethyst crystals, the tip of this unique accessory is a ballpoint pen and the other end can be used as a stylus. It also features lacquered metal parts and makes a great gift for smartphone and tablet users.

All these items are available in town, but if Mr BC fancied venturing on t’internet, then this necklace is just soooooo appropriate (in a 30" chain):

I know of a little girl who would like that necklace too!
With thanks to John Lewis, M&S, HMV, Waterstones, Swarovski and Not On The High Street for the images.
Love Mrs BC x

I’m really impressed with your writing skills and also with the
layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it
is rare to see a nice blog like this one these days.
