A ‘What Would Irene Do?’ Shop Update & A Thank You Posted on June 7, 2014May 2, 2025 By Becky Happy Saturday folks! Apologies for the rather image-heavy post, but I had to share some of the new stock I have in my ‘What Would Irene Do?’ Vintage Crockery Shop now! I’m also excited to announce that I am now offering a vintage crockery hire service for small weddings/tea parties/ events for up to 50 people, with plans to expand as the year progresses. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but now have the oomph to do it now the shop is up and running. Tis exciting times indeed! Go to www.whatwouldirenedo.com for more info! Hope you’re having a great weekend? My last post on ‘When Breastfeeding Goes (ahem) Tits Up’ caused a bit of a stir, and some healthy debate, but I’m so glad I wrote it. I’ve had countless emails, comments and tweets from ladies showing their support, and sharing their stories of breastfeeding and bottle feeding triumphs and (sadly in many cases), struggles. One of the joys of blogging is being able to have a voice, and I thought that if the post would help just one person, then it would be a job well done. Amazingly it seems to have helped more than one person, and I am so, so happy this is the case. Thank you to everyone who supported and shared this post with others who are also struggling/have struggled. Us ladies need to stick together, girl power and all that jazz! x BeckyMeet the award-nominated UK lifestyle blogger behind Spirited Puddle Jumper – a mum of three living in South East London!

Life in general Why It’s okay not to be okay Posted on February 9, 2016August 13, 2021 Last week I had one of ‘those’ days. Nothing too disastrous happened in the grand scheme of things, but a series of little things that made my day more than a bit ‘meh’ and had me pouring a HUGE glass of vino post- kids bedtime. I got soaked in the… Read More
Life in general Getting out of a creative rut Posted on March 3, 2016 We all have it. Days, weeks (even months!) whereby we can’t seem to pull our fingers out of our proverbial and actually get on with anything creative. Whether it’s work, or a passion or hobby of ours that involves some level of creativity, there are just times when… Read More
Family Diary Things that have made me happy this week Posted on March 19, 2015August 13, 2021 One of my ‘Gratitude Express’ posts is long overdue, as this is my first full working day at home where I’ve actually felt good in about 3 weeks, what with the (hopefully, final) ridding of the never-ending lurgy in our house. The fact that I am sitting here, at home,… Read More
Love the items in your shop and the idea of having a hire service. Much nicer than plain white plates you normally get. Reply
What a lovely shop full of bits you have- I love vintage teacups, even though bizarrely I don’t drink tea. 😉 Reply
Thanks Katie! Although I’m not sure we could be friends if you don’t drink tea 😉 Coffee or hot choccie works just as well though! If you’re going to Britmums I may have to try and convert you! Reply
