Go On, Hav-A-Hank

It's fair to say that I'm not only totally obsessed with colour but obsessed with products that come in a wide range of them. You've may well have noticed actually, it's all that I seem to post about but colour does something to me that nothing else does. It's a proper mood changer and as I always prefer to be in a good mood I tend to search for product, objects and places that bring joy to the old peepers.

These bandana print hankies by Hav-a-Hank tick all the right boxes, coming in a wide range of tasty colours. It's their take on the classic hankerchief, mixing it up with some interesting shades. I've got a few bandana hankies but I'm certainly sticking one of these on my birthday list. They're made in Greenville, South Carolina and retail for $15, which isn't bad for a pocket stuffer. 

You can pick them up at Indigo & Cotton

You may noticed that I'm have a bit of a re-design at the moment, things are going to get a bit jumpy around here so please bear me while we grind the cogs. I'm hoping it shouldn't be too long till it's fully up and running. Also, I'm considering creating a Facebook page for Buckets & Spades, is this something people would be interested in joining? I would use it to share extra photos and interesting things that I find from day to day.

Multi-Colour Mood

I'm feeling like a bit of a mixed bag right now and multi-coloured is the only way I can sum it up. I don't really do much in the way of outfit post on the blog but I am going to try and post more, as I have started to do over the past month or so. So you will see!

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend, what have you all been up to? Is everyone set for Easter? Mine has been filled with harsh winds(living by the seaside does have its disadvantages), pizza and driving nowhere.

In other news me and Clare from Tweet will be running a small stall at the Vintage Threads Weekender in Manchester on 2nd April at the Triangle Centre. So if anyone is in the area feel free to come down and amuse us (and bring us nice cakes!). The event is on for 2 days and is spread over 3 floors of the shopping centre, selling all things vintage; clothing, homeware, haberdasher, bikes, yummy food and there's also an alterations service and bands playing. 


Come say "hi".
