Eat Me

Party planning for the weekend, I need to make a chocolate dinosaur for a friends little girl in the style of George from Peppa Pig, and for Saturday night's cocktail party I am thinking Margarita cupcakes from the oh so pretty book Eat Me by Xanthe Milton. This book is so pretty and full of magical recipes perfect for a fairytale bake sale.

I am on the run this morning late for work as usual.
Back later.

I hope you all had a marvellous weekend.

Coconut dusted iced cakes

Everything was pink at a birthday tea party for my sister last Sunday. Pearly balloons, coconut dusted iced cakes, tiny vases filled with baby and hot pink roses, candies in pastel shades, glasses of cream soda. Everyone brought something different to eat, gifts were given, then we happily watched Vogue documentary-the September issue.

Fashion, balloons and cake three of my favourite things, all in one sitting. I am looking forward to more gatherings with friends as christmas fast approaches.

wedding directory

I was recently asked by another blogger to recommend some of my favorite wedding sites. This is an edited down collection of the cream of wedding inspiration. Each one has link lists so you can run off on a tangent and get lost up to your veil or tiara in table settings, menu ideas, bridal fashion, favors and all the things that put together make your special day a perfect day.

Even if you are already married like me or not planning a wedding but just need some ideas for adding some extra sparkle to a special event, dinner, party or maybe just an evening with yourself! These are the best places to start to help your little seed of thought bloom.
Some I am sure you will already know, but I hope you like them all as much as I do!

the lawn

So sunny and bright today, if I didn't have to work later and if I had a garden I would put on a pair of exquisite Jennifer Morris earrings, drag a beautiful rug outside and have me a little sunshine party on the lawn. Ginger wine punch and cucumber sandwiches anybody?

My morning was made better after seeing the latest lovely party colour pallets from 100 Layer cake.

Cerise, turquoise, gold, giveaway

I have this set of six handmade invitations. Made them a while ago from hand dyed lace embellished with beads and sequins. They have been hiding in a drawer. They need to fulfill their destiny, that's where you come in. Leave a comment about your favorite theme for a party, and they could be there in time for your next celebration.

I will close the giveaway this friday 17th of April at 8 pm UK time.

Fun things

It was misty and rainy again today. I popped out to have a coffee with my family then dashed home. I have to admit I have been pretty much couch bound for the rest of the day, waiting for Dean to get back from an event. Seeking inspiration from around the world. I found some fun things to use as wedding favors today from Spoon Sisters. Plus I'm a sucker for a cute about us story and this one is real sweet.
