Back to blogging

'Abigail's World' has been lacking blog posts for six months now and it's time to get back to it. I started a new job over six months ago and juggling this along with driving lessons and a blog was just too much (I like to sleep in sometimes too). But now I'm settled into my job, I've passed my driving test *yay* and got myself a car which saves some time too so I feel like it's time to give the blog another go.

Getting back into blogging I think I want my blog to include less beauty and makeup but more photography, days out and food with the same hauls and wishlists included. I also might start to include some craft/diy pieces such as candles which I have been making for a couple of years.

So this was just a little post to say that I'm still here and will be back again shortly. I also hope that you're all as excited as I am that it's now autumn.

A Week in the Lakes

As you may or may not have noticed, I've had a bit of a blogging break over the past month or so but today I'm back and starting my catch-up. Whilst I've been away I've enjoyed a lovely holiday in the beautiful Lake District so I thought I'd show you some of the photo's I took whilst I was away.

Well done you if you managed to get this far down the page, I'm surprised I managed to narrow it down to twenty photos! Most of them where of the ducks and ducklings around where we stayed but they were just so cute.

Etsy Wishlist

I'm sure you've all heard of Etsy, but incase you haven't it's a website which you can have your own account or even business on. Where you can sell your handmade and vintage items and gifts. I'll hopefully be selling some of my own handmade gifts on there soon so keep your eyes peeled for that, but as I was browsing on there the other day I thought I'd create a little wishlist.

Above The Knuckle Rings - Jewellery is one of the most popular things on Etsy, in my opinion at least, so I had to pick out at least one piece to show you. I love these above the knuckle rings and you get 8 in a pack which I think is a lot compared to what you usually see in high street stores.

Mason Jar Light - If you could see my room you'd know that I probably have some kind of light obsession, from fairy lights around my fire place to candles and even electronic candles. And this mason jar light has to be next on my wishlist!

Dip Dyed Gift Tags - I've actually started making my own gift tags recently but when I saw these I thought it was such a good idea to dip-dye them and it means that every single one will be unique too.

Moleskine Notebook - I'm all about notebooks lately, whether they're for jotting down blogging ideas, ideas for projects at uni or just general to-do lists - or maybe even my secret plan to conquer the world....

Sweater Weather Is Better Weather Jumper - Let's face it, everyone's dying for Spring/Summer weather to hurry up at the moment but we all know sweater weather is better weather, right?

Pinterest Post #11 - Kitchenware

If you've seen some of my most recent posts you may have noticed I've been sharing my love for homeware bits and pieces and also how much baking I've been doing lately. So for today's post I thought I'd share with you some pretty kitchenware which I've seen on pinterest and now need in my life. These are just my top picks for my kitchenware pinterest board.

Vintage Floral Prints - I love these prints and especially on the vintage milk bottle, I'd much rather have this to put milk in in the fridge rather than those plastic bottles it comes in.

Mixer - If you can't already tell from the images above I really like pastels in kitchenware and this mixer is just lovely. I think I saw it recently on somewhere like The Great British Bake Off and they look so easy to use too.

Heart Shaped Dish - I spotted a lot of these around valentine's day earlier this year but I think they'd be great for the whole year, not just for one day, especially if you love baking like me.

Cute Bowls - These look so pretty together, and look at just how cute that little bird is.

Heart Shaped Measuring Spoons - I always seem to forget how useful measuring spoons and cups are and I'm yet to own some still. These heart shaped ones just make them even more worth having, right?

Ikea Wishlist

I can't quite it's March already! On the plus side I guess it means we can look forward to warm weather, right? So with a new month, as always here is a new wishlist. This months wishlist is all about Ikea! Believe it or not I've never actually been to an Ikea, I guess I've never really needed to and never had one close to me, but apparently I need to go to one, especially with being an interior design student. I know there's a lot of great storage and furniture in Ikea too but for this post I thought I'd stick to the smaller accessories which I'm now lusting over!

London Picture

Faux Sheepskin Rug

Glass Vase/Bottle

Tea-light Holder

Cookie Cutters

Lilac Glass

Lantern/Vase

Basket

Mirror

My favourites are the rug, purple glass, vase and the london picture, I can imagine that rug being super soft, and I've seen the vase used by many bloggers to hold their make-up brushes which is such a good idea! What are your favourite?
