Happy Valentines Rose.

Happy Valentines day.

After a major tidy and cleaning frenzy this morning ready for the photographers visit tomorrow, I am now baking a Plum and Almond cake and the sweet scent of cinnamon and sugar is filling the air.


Thanks to all who entered my giveaway for two beautiful red striped Cornishware mugs from T.G Green.

The winner is Rose from the blog 'A rose beyond the thames'. I hope you enjoy a cosy mug of something warm as soon as you receive them. If only I could I would send a slice of that cake to accompany your new kitchenware.

Nothing says "I love you" like earache.

Well, I've been up since 2.30 with earache (the final leg of my cold) so I thought I'd make use of the time by seeking out my favorite valentine day offerings from the creative melting pot that is Etsy.
Clockwise from top left:-
