April's Best Bits

April was a bit of a weird month for me. It kind of just passed on by one day at a time. There were a few stand out dates though. Its wasn't all doom and gloom!


Easter was definitely the highlight of the month! I love holidays and I love getting festive. I got a little crafty with some baskets, shredded paper and felt cut outs, and used it all to piece together some Easter gifts for my loved ones. As well as this, I participated in a little intercontinental candy swap hosted by the lovely Erin over at My Beautiful Disaster. I was paired up with Danielle from Simple Sapphire, and created her a basket mix of candy and chocolatly goodness. Although I'm pretty certain that Air Mail has failed me... here is some photo evidence!


I spent most of my spare time in April browsing the isles of second hand book stores. I ended up finding a bunch of my wish-list books amongst the dusty shelves, as well as some classics! I think all up I purchased about twelve new books for under $37. Now I just have to wait for the winter break to start reading them all!

Aside from the odd weekend off to celebrate a friends birthday, that's about all April had to offer. We have one more Autumnal month before the Winter kicks in! Hooray!

  2. Looks like a good month overall for you. I don't know where my April went...hours spend doing very little at work and learning very little at school I suppose.

  3. I ADORE secondhand book stores! I had a friend in high school whose moms owned one. I spent a lot of my senior year in there with them. It was completely filled with antiques as well. Beautiful.

  5. Love the basket that you made. Sorry to hear that airmail just wasn't working out for you. Otherwise, wish I had ideas to put a basket together. I'm not that crafty in fact I depend on my mom to get stuff like that together for me haha.

    I love books. I definitely should hit up some used book stores to find some interesting reads. I am lacking time to myself and this is a good way to relax my mind.

  6. @ Erin - Thank you for hosting!

    @ Blace - It's one of those in-between non-event type months. I understand completely!

    @ Shay - That sounds so lovely!

    @ Penny Lane - I know what you mean about going alone! I've dragged a few people along before... My sister hates it!

    @ Abby - Definitely find yourself a new book!
