Tape

My parcel arrived today. I love what is inside but there is one problem.....

I bought my tape from Etsy but it was from the US which meant I had to pay a customs fee. It is so annoying and means I won't be able to buy from that shop again. I just can't afford the extra cost.

Anyway, I do love my tape and started making flags while watching tv with poorly Maisy who has a stinker of a cold. Too poorly for school! (and maisy hates to miss school)

I will probably make more tonight while watching Mad Men. We are only on the first series but I'm loving it so far. The clothes, the interiors, the drinks..... Fabulous!

Hope none of you are suffering too much in all this rain. Xx

  2. We have the same muddy and wet paw print problem here too - what with all the rain and all that. Hope Maisy is better soon. Thanks for your comment on mine. The hoodie is from Boden and an early Christmas present from Grandma.

  3. The added tax is always a shame - honestly it makes it so frustrating sometimes...especially when you see something you absolutely love.

  4. That tape is really nice and the flags look great - but boo to custom fees! Have you seen these? http://www.washitapes.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=103 - It's a UK website and has quite a few nice Washi tape packs x

  5. Love the new tapes, such pretty patterns. I keep having the same problem with customs fees. Everything I have bought from US lately I have had to pay nearly price of item again! So annoying. xx

  7. I love that tape - is it washi tape? I've been tempted to buy some a few times but could never decide which pattern to choose. Boo to the customs fees, how very annoying. I wonder if there are some UK stockists?

    Hope Maisie gets well soon. x

  8. Love the little flags, hope Maisie is better soon (although sometimes it's nice to have a cosy sofa/tv day) We've all had the sniffles for a week now. :(

  9. Love the paw prints :-) I recently watched all four Mad Men series. I love it but my husband is not so keen. I used to work in advertising so it has extra appeal for me :-) Enjoy! x

  10. lovely tapes, I haven't ventured into the realm of washi tape yet.I think I might like it! Shame about the tax I don't really know much about it, half sounds like quite a lot. Having to dash out when the rain stops with the dog! Heather x
