Sunday Summary #49

By Hellofreckles @tashajsteel
There's definitely a chill in the air as we get closer to Christmas. Surely I can't be the only one who's hoping we'll see some snow soon?!
Back in August, I made a bauble for the Christmas tree at Alnwick Gardens. Today we went up to see if we could spot it and even with me standing looking at the photo from when I made it, I couldn't pick the exact one. Turns out quite a few other people opted for pink with white spots and swirls. The tree looks great though and I bet it looks lovely late afternoon when it's lit up.This week I've been sharing my experience having afternoon tea at Lumley Castle and this incredible hamper from Harvey Nichols. I've also shared an absolute bargain I found in Primark in this new outfit post. Voting closed this week for the UK Blog Awards and before any shortlists get announced I just want to say a huge thank you to you if you took the time to vote. It really is amazing to think there's people out there who enjoy reading my blog and would take the time to vote for me! When I checked bloglovin the other day to see I'd passed 900 followers, I was really surprised. I really am grateful for all the support and I hope you continue to enjoy my content.Next week I'm planning to get to a couple of events, finish my Christmas shopping (or at least get over halfway) and we're off to Manchester on Friday to see Taking Back Sunday. I'm really excited for the gig and to visit the Christmas Market again for the second year running. This time last year I was getting ready to go to Berlin and I already want to go back! There's still time to enter my NARS giveaway here if you're interested! It's open internationally and will end 18th December.
