Touristy frolics in Grasmere and Keswick

Last week I had a welcome opportunity to play tourist for a few days! We visited Grasmere one day and Keswick the next. I received many treats! Read on to see the wonderful things I came home with.

First stop in Grasmere - a lovely cuppa at Mathildes and a browse in the Heaton Cooper Gallery
 
Supercute globe necklace from The Red Gecko

A visit to the Wordsworth graves and Daffodil Garden

Beautiful books from Sam Read Bookseller and Grasmere Gather

Next stop Keswick and an excellent seed bead haul in Oxfam!

I love the Keswick Moot Hall!

So glad to find this silver music ring at Soraya Vintage's market stall (I had one in the 90's!) 

So happy Magpie at Maysons is still there! It doesn't look any different than it did in the 90's! (Who misses the 90's?!!) 

Then the next day at Bowness Glebe market we saw the lovely Natasha from Soraya again and I got these beautiful earrings. 
It was fun to be an honorary tourist in the Lake District! It was wonderful to spend time with two special people and be treated to so many gorgeous things. You know who you are and I appreciate you 😍😍
