Mondays aren't generally considered the most exciting day of the week so here is a picture of Flossie looking her wonderful self, in the hope that it will put a smile on your face.
Here's to a great start to the week!

Dear Diary: Just Hanging Around!
Dear Diary,
Apparently we are going to get to go to the beach soon. What's all this 'soon' business?! What's the point of being this cute if people won't do exactly as I say! I am all dressed up and have my favourite kite packed too. Last time I was there it was such good kite flying weather I nearly took off into the air! I have seen some people even kiteboarding! It's bad enough that we missed Cleethorpes Kite Festival this year, I don't want to miss all the sun too!
I wonder if Big Ol' Bossypants would notice if I slipped out for two weeks...
Stay sexy,
Parkin

Teeny Tiny Tuesday: Hello Kitty Stationery
It's a teeny tiny Teeny Tiny Tuesday today. I would love to build up a mini collection of Re-Ment stationery and this Hello Kitty series is the perfect place to start! If I had more money to spend on hobbies at the moment I would snap this whole set up in a heartbeat.
I have the box file and paper clip set which I got in a blind box and Parkin showed off during Parkin week and recently I got my grabby little hands on the sellotape and glue set. It is completely charming and the print quality on the pieces is fantastic. The sellotape has a cute Hello Kitty design and slots into the holder so it can spin around. It has a really authentic transparent look. The glue is equally cute and even has a bubble inside that just makes it seem so much more realistic.
I can't wait to set up a diorama with my new stationery!

Dear Diary: I'm Not a Quitter!
Dear Diary,
There is just one small problem. I may need the help of Big Ol' Bossypants to, ahem, sew my crotch back up after I high kicked a little too high. It was a bit of a shock feeling the breeze down there I can tell you although it did solve the serious camel toe problem I was having at the time. Oh diary, I know it's not appropriate but every cloud has a silver lining.
Stay sexy,
Parkin

Middie Blythe Milk & Honey
The official pictures of the new Middie Blythe were released yesterday and since I saw them I've been thinking about the Middie releases so far. All in all I think this is only the fourth Middie release and I'm a bit bored already if truth be told. Love & More still has my Christmas wishes and don't get me wrong, this little girl is cute but why all the natural hair colours? You can't please everyone all of the time but I do really and truly love her eye colour. I hope they make chips in this gorgeous lavender for Neo Blythe soon (if they already have, please tell me which Blythe!).
I suppose you can tell, I'm hankering after a fantasy haired Middie. Due to their pocket-sized nature I can't help but picture my dream Middie as having pretty pastel make-up and complementary pastel hair. Or something totally rocking at odds with their sweet little faces. My imagination doesn't really stretch to their outfits but given that there aren't many clothes available for them at the moment, something practical like the Raspberry Sorbet stock would be nice. My ultimate dream would be if they made a Middie with similar coloured hair to Flossie, my Sugarless Gum reroot. A lovely pale mint colour would be a must have too. Maybe next time!

Teeny Tiny Tuesday: Dumplings
This is another set I picked up in a blind box and have steadily grown to appreciate. It is another set from Is Dinner Ready? (Kid Robot had them for sale in their London shop at the time and I can't resist Re-Ment in person!) and has lots of cute details. I turned the dumplings over on the plate so you can see how they are 'cooked' on the bottom! Totally brilliant. I also love how the caps come off the two glass sauce bottles on the left. Well, it's great for pictures but not so great if you don't like the thought of losing any of your beloved Re-Ment. You can also see that there is a little bowl of dipping sauce with a matching design to the plate and a tiny bottle of sauce that explains how it got there. Lovely touch.
I really like the red enamelled pan with the glass lid too. I only have one other frying pan from an unknown set and this is nicer :) The pan has a silver bottom with the typical circle design. My brain isn't working well enough to describe it beyond that! The jug with the water pouring out of it is pretty good and I do like these kind of items when I have a doll to pose with it - otherwise it looks a bit creepy unless you crop the handle out of the picture. It can be dismantled though so you don't have to include the water in pics if you don't want to. The spatula seems a little mismatched but it seems to make the set seem more realistic to me. I know I have barely anything that matches in my kitchen!
Is there any Re-Ment set I don't like?!

White Rabbits
When Flossie woke up this morning, after rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she remembered to say "white rabbits" three times for luck.
I can't believe it's August already! I had so many grand plans for this year and only now am I starting to achieve them. Better late than never though, as they say! This month I'm off to visit my mum by the seaside for a little bit. I am beyond excited about it and hope to take lots of pretty pics of Parkin on the beach and learn some new crochet stitches in between visiting my sister at the cute little shop she works in. I have to wait a little longer for all that fun though. I've noticed the closer it gets the more excruciating the wait is. I haven't had this feeling for a long time but it's quite nice in its own little way, as I'm sure you have all experienced this at some point :)
Have an excellent and lucky month everyone!
