- Hey! Come with me into the City for some Christmas shopping and a trip down memory lane, whilst getting my wedding jewellery cleaned 💍 and reminiscing when ‘disposable income’ was still a reality 😂, with the cost of living crisis in the UK, gone are the days of opening a gift of diamond earrings 🎁🌲 But regardless of how big, or small, your Christmas budget is, family, and making memories, is what’s most important and of course, Christmas (window) shopping never hurt the bank balance!

Thank you for the great video. I have just subscribed to your channel. I’m loving the ones I have watched. Look forward to your future videos 😊
Awesome! Thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate your kind comments and support 😘✨
The vintage rings are lovely, but oh the boxes…I love the little ring boxes. The shop girl is right, wear your studs…they’re gorgeous. 😊 💍
Oh my! I know right! The boxes are so cute! I love how old and tatty they are!
Hi. What an absolutely exquisite jewellery shop Pearsons is( I do like a nice diamond). Thanks for showing the city centre I must visit when we’re down your way. Your food looked yummy. Lovely decorations. See ya next time
Thanks for watching! I do love a cute little shop and this jewellers is tiny 🤣✨
If it makes you feel special wearing the diamond studs, then you should wear them often. You’re not getting any enjoyment leaving them sitting in the box! ❤
Absolutely 👍 keeping them “safe” seems silly on reflection as they’re not being enjoyed ✨ xx
Lovely little video ❤️👍and every single day is special😁wear the diamonds girl😍😘
I love your attitude! I need to get on board and stop saving everything for best! 🎁🥰😘😘
What a charming looking town!
All of your jewelry is very pretty. I really love the amethyst ring. Thanks for taking us with you, Angela!
Thanks for watching Heather! 😘✨🎄
Have you thought of having screw backs put on your earrings? They are lovely and you should wear them!
Our hands do age. I am sixty-seven years old and mine are so wrinkled. Yours look beautiful still. As wives and mothers we have busy hands. The best advice that I wish I had done is to wear rubber gloves to wash dishes or while cleaning. I just discovered your CZcams channel this evening. I have been enjoying your videos so much. I've always wanted to visit the UK, but haven't had the pleasure yet. I love your cottage and what you have done to remodel it, also your paint choices are beautiful. Best regards to you from Wyoming, USA.
Hello dear Sharon in Wyoming! Thank you so so much for your lovely message 😊 I think you’re right about wearing rubber gloves, it’s something I wish I’d been more careful about, I’m always cleaning, often with chemicals and bleach, and I just never gave enough consideration to my poor hands! Your message has really prompted me to start being much more careful, so thank you, I think us -slightly- younger ladies can learn a lot from those older than us…🤗
And thank you for all your lovely compliments about our home, it’s so kind of you 🌸🥰
Oh totally forgot . Your diamond earrings. Yes,yes,yes wear them if you get enjoyment Wear them all the time,
Yes! Thank you! I really must, they’re too pretty to be kept hidden away ✨😘
I cant remember seeing that part of Leicester when we visited a few years ago. It looked lovely and quaint. The italian coffee shop looked right up my street.
Ah yes! It’s just a few minutes walk from the main shopping area, but feels so much nicer, more independent shops and little nice places to eat 😊
Oh Angela your rings are beautiful x You should definitely wear the earrings so elegant x Oh it was so lovely seeing Leicester ( you know how much I miss it) Have a wonderful evening xxx love to all the family xxxx
Ah thank you Helen (goodness I’m behind on my comments lol) glad you got to glimpse a bit of Leicester (the nicer part! 😂)
Bentley and I think you should wear the earrings, they are simply stunning, someone has great taste in jewellery ❤
Oh thank you! I will definitely start to wear them ✨ give your Bentley the biggest squeeze from me 😘
Oh lovely to see you today Angela! I loved this video, I’m a HUGE Christmas fan! Your rings are stunning! The weather is finally beginning to cool down here in Arizona. We can probably expect between 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit around Christmas. Are you putting your tree up soon? I would LOVE to see your beautiful cottage decorated for the Christmas season. Sending love ❤️🌵☀️😎❤️
Hey 👋 oh I’m happy it’s not quite so hot for you! It’s getting very cold here now, I’d love some snow for Christmas 🎅 🤞🏻 yes, I’m starting to decorate the cottage for Christmas, I was pulling out boxes from the shed at 7.30am this morning haha, we’ve a dry day so I took advantage! Wishing you a lovely day my friend 😘
What a fun video, to take a trip down memory lane with your jewelry! They are all so lovely! I don’t wear my diamond earrings very often because I dress so casually and only wear them for special occasions. I loved the trip through Leicester and the shops you visited. When i was in London a few months ago, it was the first time I’d seen T.K. Maxx. Here in America, they call the store T. J. Maxx. I’m not sure what there’s a difference in name. But all the Christmas ornaments are so beautiful and festive, like you said. We don’t have such beautiful ornaments here in this part of Colorado, so this was a treat to see! I hope you’re enjoying your new job. 😊 Linda
Hey Linda 👋 thank you so much! I also dress very casually so the earrings tend to just sit in their box, I think I should probably wear them a little more! Oh yes, TK or TJ Maxx 🤔 I think they’re the same…? I hope you’re staying warm and starting to feel festive! We’ve had snow here today ❄️⛄️
@@hideawaycottage Hi Angela! I think your TK Maxx is much fancier than our TJ! I’m sure my husband wouldn’t mind me flying back over for a quick shopping trip! 😉 We were traveling in southern Colorado today and got about 3 inches of snow. It was beautiful and not too cold. Back home now and not any snow! Surely, we will have more soon. I hope you’re staying warm too, in your beautiful cottage! 🏠☃️🎄
You made Leicester look nice!! I love that jewellers, I always nose in the window. Ads & Sam love the sweet shop next door. And seeing the Dec's at JL makes me want to pop in to have a look. X
Thanks Cas! Oh my word JL was dreamy, nothing quite like a department store to make you feel all Christmassy! Would love to browse Liberty one Christmas! 🎄✨
@@hideawaycottage mum & I did Liberty's in 2019 & was all sorts of scrummy!
I'm too paranoid to let any big diamonds out of my sight, much less be taken away for 'cleaning'.
I don't wear diamond earrings every day, but I feel confident about not losing them if they have screwbacks.
Ah yes the lady in the shop really reassured me the backs were very tight and the chances of loosing one is so slim, so I should really start to enjoy them. Thank you for watching, I appreciate you being here, have a lovely day 😊
They are a beautiful pair of earrings!
Thank you, I did have a lovely day yesterday. Hope your week is going well, too.
Very beautiful, how are you?
Hello, very well thank you, I hope you’re good too
