I was shopping for cupcake cases in Lakeland over the weekend, and came out £30 poorer as a result of visiting this lethal and addictive shop!
They do not usually have many cupcake-related goodies in this place, so i thought that i would be safe walking in here, however........ there was a whole display sprawled out in front of me with everything and anything cupcake related that your mind could ever imagine! I was one of those poor beggars who just couldn't pass it without having a look....and picking up cases, which i DID actually need....however i also managed to find myself carrying to the counter a big plastic carry case with handle for all those big cakes i intend to bake and carry around with me (!?!) and a set of 2 individual cupcake caddies.....which were just TOO cute and USEFUL to pass on! (These were essentials i kept telling myself whilst trying to justify the spend when i can't afford to buy myself new shoes or save up for my wedding....ahem!)
When will i use these items? - Who knows....but they were SO useful i just HAd to buy them.
And i will.....Damn it!!!!
It seems like even the best of us fall prey to pretty shops.

I always find Lakeland makes me feel I need things that I never even knew existed before I entered the shop. The only reason I ever manage to exist is because I have no money to spend. I hope you are enjoying your purchases!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you at the tea party!
You too : ) I might have to ask for your advice on good teas to go with the cupcakes haha ....am still a complete (And totally clueless!) novice!
