Wedding Gifts

A couple of weeks ago i was a very proud bridesmaid and to say thank you to the lovely Annabel I pressed the petals from my posy and saved the hem from one of the bridesmaids dresses. And then once all embroidered together i made a couple of notebooks, i am very excited to post these :)

Coffee Macaroon Making

Macarons/Macaroons??? Oh i am thoroughly confused now about which is which. Anyway more importantly today i tried my first batch and they ended up being super mini, but this way they are definitely easier to eat. These are not going to last long....

Best bar ever

Well perhaps.....I nearly forgot about this little treat in France where a bar had decided to cover the entire inside walls with red shiny plastic, and some fake snow on the ceiling, hello grotto plans

Let's be swans :)

Inspired by my new Limoge pottery golden swans I found in France (photo will come soon) I have just made myself a Swan top, ohhhh I am excited to wear it already. Listening to Desert Island discs as i finish this off too....can't quite believe Cath Kidston turns over 50 million a year....wow

French Brocantes and French Cats :)

Oh wow I apologise for the huge delay in between posts but I am back! From a 2 week adventure in the south of France finding many flea market treasures and eating pistachio ice creams. Here are a few images of some favourite things I saw and enjoyed. This lovely cat in particular just popped his head out from a huge display of 60s clothes, what more could I ask for??Jx
