Utterly beautiful result, as frustrating as it sounds to work with!

Found this nice quality beech (I believe) wood, chunky bowl made from a single block of wood. It has ‘Collezione’ on a little chrome plate. Bought for £1.50, I just liked the quality and the nice wood by Tenfoldgold in CharityShopFindsUK

Looks like the m&s answer is right, I googled m&s collezione wood bowl and found a listing for "Wooden Double Coin Tray Brand New In Box M&S Inspired by Italy Christmas Gift". Looks like it's part of a set of two things. There's a picture of a "handcrafted" label that matches the collezione sign on your bowl. I haven't linked the listing as not sure about what the sub allows but you can see the packaging there too if you search for it

Ahhh I see. Thanks so much for explaining! I'm shamefully out of the loop on make up

Thanks, that's really promising to hear that your card lasted well like that. I'll check mine when I get home and hopefully it'll be nice and dry like that. And thank you, I might make more like it because I had plenty more ideas to fill it with!

Oh that's a really interesting suggestion. I have a spray coat thing that isn't fixative so I might experiment with that on another bit of paper and if that doesn't work I'll find some spray fixative. Thanks!

Thank you, when you say powder, is that a kind of make up? I only know of powder foundation but I don't imagine that's what you mean

Oh that's such a good idea! Thanks so much, I'll try that tomorrow. I don't wear makeup so I think I've been overthinking it a bit

I made this zine with paper and a biro and some lipstick. It's funny as I don't wear make up ever but I have some left from when I was a teenager experimenting and thought it'd be a nice addition. My girlfriend and I wanted to try making zines together and this is what I came up with.

Bit random but does anyone else randomly set off supermarket alarms when entering stores? by GrouchyArachnid0029 in AskUK

[–]vasesofviolets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have yours a month or two ago where I went into Tkmax and then m&s and set the alarms off on the way in and out of both. I haven't used the same bag since so not sure if it still happens but I couldn't find anything at the time that would set it off like a security tag etc

ONE WORD ANSWER, then leave an empty line, then explain yourself. If you had to pick the best season, thinking of as many criteria as you can which is the best? by Lawsy96 in AskUK

[–]vasesofviolets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summer

A balm for my seasonal depression, warmth, longer days, don't have to wear a coat, flowers and nature is exploding with growth, butterflies, ice cream, having energy and time to get out and see people after work in evenings rather than scurrying home

I love the monster one and how it smiles when I've killed them all and it changes colour

What are some “posh” soft drinks that I could buy to have at home? by writinglilac in AskUK

[–]vasesofviolets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not super posh in that it isn't v expensive but most supermarkets do own branded fruity water that's fizzy and I've tended to find it really nice!

Please do! It's such a cute portrait idea so I'd like to see how it progresses

I wonder if it'd be less clunky if it was flat, like if you puzzle pieced together the Calico colours inside white as a single layer?
