Fortnum & Mason

Where in the world have I been?
I know it takes me a while to catch on
sometimes....
BUT

I seriously cannot believe
I just discovered via Carol over at

You can build your own F&M "hamper" that looks like this!

It must be that time of year....


for me to discover a brand new obsession for myself~


Located in London since 1707 ~


These hampers out for delivery must be full of presents for the all the good little ladies & gentlemen this year~

Like these Amazing rain boots~

Or maybe the special "homegrown"
Superior Honey
right from the buildings very own bee hives~

Santa could make his job so simple
with just one stop at
Fortnum & Mason


This F&M hamper empty
would truly be enough to make me happy
forevermore~

~I'm wishing you all a week of calm & festive cheer~

  4. I love Fortnum and Mason - I was pregnant on my way home from my first time in London after having spent time with a friend who lived there, and Mason was one of the names considered for #3!

  6. Oh Janet,
    Don't worry that you are late in discovering F&M......it's been there since 1707 and I don't think that it will be going anywhere anytime soon !!
    I have been buying things from them since my late teens ( which is many, many years ) When I worked in London, many a Christmas present was bought from there, especially Taylors port for my Dad !!
    Isn't it a beautiful store ? That clock and the shop front has Janet written all over it !!!!
    You must go there if you are ever in London. XXXX

  12. Fortnums and Liberty are my favourite London shops, and I was lucky enough to visit both yesterday. They were both beautiful in full Christmas splendour, always a sure way of getting us in the Christmas spirit xxxx

  18. It really is a wonderful shop - I have been there and eaves dropped on a couple ordering their Christmas Hamper - oh do have seen what went inside but more so the look on the receiver. It is a wonderful browse - I only had minutes but would love to have stayed for tea.
