Shop here at last!

Ok, so after much delay, then much work – we now have lift-off! Merulapie (pronounced meh-roola-pie) is now open and ready for business! Yay!
I’ll be keeping this blog for more personal posts, (and will probably revamp this blog a bit) but the new shop blog is here. The following is taken from my first Merulapie [...]

Mugshot

The time came to renew my passport. What fun. A form which MUST be filled in with black ink. I was terrified the pen I used was a fading black, sort of grey ink and not black enough. I worry the form will be sent back, stamped – USE BLACK INK. It was an easy form to [...]

Random things

My friend Marceline at asking for trouble has tagged me to write seven random things about myself. As you all know I love talking about all things me, so here we are….sorry if you already know these facts.
1. I would never order steak in a restaurant.
2. I hate not being able to understand or appreciate [...]

What’s in MY Bag?

Well would you like to know? This was started by Alice and followed on by Marceline. I couldn’t resist doing this too. I loved all the teen mags that did photoshoots of ‘what’s in your bag?’. I longed for Evian mist spray and a diary full of important events…..
Here’s my bag.Handbag – from H&M.Book – [...]
