MERRY CHRISTMAS Merry Christmas to all of you reading my blog right now!!! I love Christmases, besides Birthdays, Valentine’s Days, New Years & all & every special Occasions & Holidays!!!
And for this year, my very Christmas Gift from my Hubby Dearest :
Heheh something from Harrods!?!? Well, Dear knows I like Harrods London merchanises, so he’s got me this most lovely Christmas Harrods Shoulder Bag - the Latest Arrival specially for Christmas - from Takashimaya Singapore :
A close-up view of my pretty Harrods London Shoulder Bag - I especially love the Christmas Stockings & the Bears in Sweaters :
Well, seeing & talking about Harrods always remind Dear & myself of our Wedding Honeymoon in London 6 years ago when we visited the Harrods London (Knightsbridge)!! And having so much beautiful memories from our Honeymoon, I’d like to share with you some of our photos in Harrods London then.
Here’s our Europe Honeymoon Photo Album :
Dear & I boarded the London Underground Tube at Kensington High Street Station where we were staying at the nearby Copthorne Tara Hotel, to Hyde Park Corner Station, & then walked to the World’s most famous Department Store - Harrods London in Knightsbridge :
And guess what?!! First thing we stepped into the Harrods London was seeing the following Shrine of the late Princess Diana & Dodi Al Fayed, who perished together in a Fatal Car Accident in Paris on 31 August, 1997 - I could still remember Me & my uni mates heard the saddest news about the Princess’s Death on radio while playing with snow & building Snowman in Mt Buller, Australia, 11 years ago :
Here’s a close-up view of the 2 Bronze Framed Photos of Princess Diana & Dodi Al Fayed, encrusted with Sea Gulls & Birds, atop a 8 feet high Bronze Sculpture surrounded with Foliage & 4 everlasting Candles :
And there were also 2 items displayed here in memory of Princess Diana & Dodi - a Wine Glass with the Fingerprints of Diana & Dodi, as well as the Lipstick Marks of Diana, from their last evening together in the Imperial Suite of Hotel Ritz in Paris, & the huge Diamond Engagement Ring from Dodi to Diana :
Close-up views of the Wine Glass & the Diamond Ring below the Glass :
Dodi’s father Mohamed Al Fayed owns Harrods London, thus the location of this Shrine. And according to the Royal News Report - the Harrods London used to be Queen Margaret Thatcher’s most favourite shopping place. However, upon displaying of these Memorial Items, the Queen was very MAD (& now NEVER patronise Harrods again!!) as she felt it’s a Disgrace to the Royal Family to have Princess Diana’s memorial items displayed with Dodi in such a way, as afterall, Diana is a Royal Figure.
Well, here’s the Al Fayed Charitable Foundation in memory of Diana the Princess of Wales, & Dodi Al Fayed :
Dear & I at the Shrine of Princess Diana & Dodi Al Fayed :

And actually, before Dear & I visited the Harrods London, I was already quite accustomed to Harrods cos I’ve had with me a huge Harrods London Tote (or Gusset) Bag from Knightsbridge which was a gift from my sister more than 10 years ago, & it’s as lasting & as durable today :
Lovely close-up view of my huge amazing Harrods Gusset Bag, with pictures of Harrod’s gorgeous Dome, London Red Bus, Harrods Walker, Harrods Guardmen & Bears :
And I’ve also got the following small Harrods London Tote Bag from my sister too :
