Mini cupcakes and a gift























Here is one of my mini cupcakes I baked the other day with the coloured chocolate drops. They really have helped my sore throat ;-) Thanks so much for all your sweet well wishes and encouragement to bake!

If you have a keen eye for china you'll notice my little saucer is Royal Doulton. I got it from my local antique shop for $5! I think the lady selling it accidently under sold it, as they usually go for a lot, lot more. I love the fact it is pink and turquoise!

A parcel arrived yesterday from my Mum, bless her. And she wrapped it in my favourite colour, that's right turquoise! Aren't Mums good!

I'm just about to open it.... so excited.

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

  1. Anna, the Royal Doulton plate is just gorgeous! Glad you are feeling well - good news. I suppose we will have to wait now to see what your Mum has sent - that's if you show us of course! Hope the rest of the weekend goes well.
