i need a bed bench

Its been almost an year since i got my new bed and I sooo wanted to get a bed bench but the room was'nt big enough!!! Now since the room is big and there is loads of space to add some furniture I have to find a nice bed bench there are a few looks but I am not sure which one to go for?? Although I am a sucker for bohemian look and I have few ideas to restore an old bench but I cant find an old bench :(. Any way I'll keep looking but until then here are a few choices, which one do u suggest ?

the little penny pouches

My little penny purses are ready now.. hurrayy! it was quite a task to make these decorative flowers but i think i have mastered them now ;) And the little purses will be on sale next week at the spitalfields market alongside my other bags and jewelery pieces. 

I have used the border print of the lining fabric and some gold ribbon to make these decorative flowers. sharing some pics!

craft day

Today I needed a break from my usual jewelery making and other chores, so I gave my things to do list a miss and pulled out some sweet tins that I had been using randomly, Some old magazines and ribbons. For the past few days I have been thinking of sorting my beads, ribbons and laces. I needed storage boxes for that and these tins are ideal!

So, six hrs of cutting, tacky glue and pasting later this is what I achieved and I am pretty pleased with it!! :)

The three tins are all revamped and ready to be filed with jewelery supply. I have to collect some more boxes,   so that I can do it again sometime!!!

shopping in belek

So i googled shopping in alanya and this is what came up;

The experience for every tourist is to once visit one of the many Turkish markets. The colored driving and the variety of the offer will always remain in your memory. Belek has a very typical Turkish market on ever Saturday. It is very interesting to observe the atmosphere and the colored driving and the action there. All here offered textiles or perfumes are forgeries. Begun from fruit, vegetable and hardware, handiworks, by living chickens, up to the copy of the jeans of Levis, everything is offered for sale. Here many people come from the surrounding villages and sell they products. 

well, i can already see myself roaming in the streets of belek, checking out local foods and crafts it has to offer and once i am dead tired, i'll treat myself to a nice turkish massage ;)  Also, not to forget to click some beautiful pics of what i get to see!!! but until then here are some pics from my google search...

now that i have covered food and shopping, i might as well do a little search on places of interest to visit and things to do (apart from shopping and sun bathing) :)   so watch this space!
