Shopping!!!

So I hit town yesterday, in search of some presents for Mothers Day! Of course I wore my new top that I made for the 'I will wear it in Public' Garment Sewing Challenge.  It was a cool 15 degrees celcius here yesterday so I teamed it with a scarf and jacket.  My top has been washed and worn now and hasn't fallen apart so I'm one happy camper!  I will get to the making of it in my next post but for now I'm too excited about my purchases so back to my shopping trip...

 

 I found these awesome candlestick holders (that I wanted for myself) for Mum and this awesome yellow lamp for me.  I know I wasn't supposed to be looking for me but I couldn't not get it, it will go perfectly in our new house (that's what I told my husband).

 Isn't this just fabulous?!?

 So back to the candlestick holders, I brought one black and one white, cool huh?

 Anyway Tragedy struck when I was getting them out to wrap.......Sorry MUM!  I may or may not have placed them on the bench a tad bit over-enthusiastically, ok I did... and one broke :(

I've glued it and had it stacked with books all morning, I'm hoping that it will hold and I can cover the yucky yellow glue up with a bit of white nail polish or something, fingers crossed.
How's everyone else going with Mothers Day gifts?
