Gray Days
Since we have been having so many grey days recently (am I the only one that is done with this weather?) I thought I would share with you a little treat I ordered for myself the other week from The Gray Store, which has brightened up my days.
The Gray Store is a UK company based in Brighton who are passionate about British design and production. They make the most gorgeous personalised items and they come delivered in beautiful packaging, which is perfect as a little treat for yourself or a gift for someone special.
The Gray Store have a range of products available including a kids selection of babygrows, blankets and t-shirts and some household items such as wash bags and storage sacks. I decided to order a cosmetic bag, which I am so so happy with and at only £13.50, I think is really good value. They also have pretty reasonable postage costs (about £3 I think), which is good, as extortionate postage is a huge bug bear of mine.
These come in two sizes (medium and large) and two different colours (natural or black) and you can also choose the fabric for your personalisation. They have a range of six colourful fabrics; indigo web, hot yellow, blush, polar grey, dark washed denim and light washed denim.
I was really tempted by the dark denim and the yellow, but I eventually opted for the indigo web as I thought this was a bit different, and I am really pleased with my choice. Each appliqued letter is hand cut and you really feel like the product has been made just for you and with such good care and attention to detail.
As a mum, I love storage bags like this, there are so many uses for them. I have a range of different pouches or bags that I use to store different things, not just when I am travelling but on a day to day basis too. When my little boy was tiny, my nappy bag was filled with several pouches like these, which made my life so much easier as I knew exactly where to find the thing that I needed, rather than having to trawl through the whole bag to find that one little thing. Back then, mine weren't quite as stylish as I had not yet discovered The Gray Store!
Finally, here I am putting my cosmetic bag to good use, even though it is a medium, it's still like a tardis and you can actually fit quite a lot in them. I would say it would be great for either make up, day to day essentials (as below) or even for a weekend away.
Thank you for reading. I would love to hear your comments and which (if any) of The Gray Store products you were tempted by.
