Magpie's Brother is in Town!

He is literally, one of my favorite people in the world! I am lucky he was sent here for work and we get to have tonight and tomorrow together! I am so excited to pick him up today after work!

Oh to be 10 again...

Just received the Mini Boden catalogue and I wish my nearly 40 year old persona could sport these happy clothes. Too bad these fun frocks don't come in big girl sizes. Though I am not so sure I could pull off these looks in the office, or in public for that matter! I also love the photos in this catalogue. A few of my favs...

Mockingbird's Birdy Purchase...

While these are neither serendipities or curiosities, they were a very good purchase. $10.50 for the three and made in Portugal. Yea for Portuguese birdies. Jolly Good Clu.

Magpie Feeling Small

It's hard to tell, but I am sticking my tongue out like Lily Tomlin used to do in the over sized rocking chair.

Cute Postcard


Magpie Loves Nectarines!


All the rage...




Imagine queuing for this bag only to hear they are sold out! It is true. These bags are all the rage in the U.K. Personally, I prefer the U.S. version in navy blue. Whichever the color... great bag - great cause. Mockingbird is trying to her hands on one without queuing!
