I had a lovely birthday. I felt better than i had over Christmas.
And we had a little tea party with some homemade bakes.
These Tete a tete brought a touch of spring.
And i received some lovely cards & things from friends.
Thank you to everyone who sent me mail & messages, it was so kind. xxx
I have more baking to share another time... a biscuit recipe :)
love & sunlight
the banner and cake stand, and the cake toppers
are all from Talking Tables, they do such beautiful ranges for celebrations
I was playing with taking photos of this blossom, i really love it.
It isnt real, but it looks very like it, it was from An Angel at my Table
That is a lovely name for a shop don't you think.
I used the branches in the new banner too.
It reminds me of the spring that is round the corner
It reminds me that beauty can blossom in my life
I do love blossom and all its delicacy,
I think the new banner has a woodland feel
A combination of my 3 loves, flower petals, trees, and butterflies. It's my birthday tomorrow, i shall hope for a good day health wise, I won't be able to go out this year, but we will have cake & homemade iced buns & maybe some new gingerbread,
Love

This collection makes me yearn for spring

These are gingerbread rabbits, they are the cutest biscuits arent they! I made them the other evening when my Mam was busy in the kitchen (she helped me bake them). I used the little bunny cutter that Jeska sent me (smile) They are a perfect little bite size biscuit.
To bake is very theraputic i think, i hope with time and more strength i could learn to do more.

I love snowglobes,and this it turned out to be the only snow we had this year.It has been much milder and so far only one small flurry of snow a couple of weeks ago. I do think snow is pretty, and has a magic to it, but i do feel the cold, so i think this year at least, i would prefer it not to be as freezing as it has been the last few years.
I have a few further collages today, by way of thanks to my lovely friends for their gifts over christmas.
Keri-Anne sent me some of her beautiful blossom photos, and they are to signify the hope that i too will be blossoming in this new year. And a cd mix of her favourite tracks. When i listened to it on Christmas eve, i loved them all, and it felt almost like she and her little fairies were here visiting with me. thank you treasure, (i hope to do a further post about mix cd's later).
Louise sent me a butterfly box full of little treasures, such as a silver bunny, rose quartz from her crystal collection and a key, there was also a book of quotes and mini calendar. I was so touched by the collected things, all just for me. thank you so much sweetheart.
Paula visits Betty's cafe ( a famous tea/coffee shop in Yorkshire) and i always wish i could accompany her. Maybe one day i shall. But in the meantime she brought me back some goodies from there...a book and chocolate, and the sweetest butterfly pin. thank you my love, your thoughfulness touched me so much.
Last but not least a package from California, and my friend Cheryl who makes the most beautiful fairylike creations, here a little acorn pouch from liberty fabric (which i had given her earlier in the year) and some butterflies made into rings. Her daughter Maddy also is just so creative, and made the sweetest smallest rings into a paper garland. It would decorate a fairy's dwelling perfectly, and also looks so nice hanging upon my wall lights. Thank you treasure.
I hope everyone liked their gifts as much as i liked mine, i know i sent many of you the notecards i made from my photos, i was so pleased to be able to send something handmade. Hopefully i shall be making more things as the year goes on and then i shall be sending more parcels to you no doubt, love and many thanks for everything
love you!
