Teacup love

Remember those T2 teacups I went crazy about not long ago? Well of course I dashed out to get one - understandably I couldn't rely on the bf to move fast enough ;-)

I was super disappointed to find the one/s I liked had sold out locally but one lovely assistant told me about a few teacups from last season (???) that someone had put on layby 6 months ago and never picked up so asked if I wanted to see them. Of course I said yes!! And it turned out it was love at first sight! I bought two, one blue and one yellow which I'll have to show you another time.

LOVE teacups, love these ones! Did anyone else get any and what did you get?

Cupcakes by Cornflake

Here are some of the cupcakes I made the other weekend when it was raining. Posing on my vintage and antique thrift plates of course!

Cupcakes are about the only thing I can cook which are guaranteed, every time, to always turn out right. Yes I know ladies, sad but true! And do you know why?

Because of my Dad's recipe!

So all you need to do to make cupcakes or any classic sponge cake according to Dad is this:

1. Weigh your eggs (in their shell)
2. Weigh your flour, caster sugar, butter each to the same weight as your eggs!
3. Then just do the usual.............. and hey presto, cupcakes in 25 minutes!

If you haven't worked it out yet this recipe came from my Dad because it's super easy and you'll never forget it! Just what a man (AND me) needs when having a little 'kitchen time'!

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend full of sunshine, happiness, love and if you're lucky, cupcakes!

Sunday Sunshine

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far?

We have been enjoying the most gorgeous sunshine at the moment with the most vivid mediterranean blue sky. However there is a very strong chill in the air! A beautiful day at the Rozelle markets yesterday with lots of treasure hunting (yet another blue and white find above - a pair in fact, for just a few dollars amongst other things) and coffee!

I'm just about to head down to the beach for a quick walk (really need to stretch my legs!) before meeting some friends at the movies.

Wishing you lots of sunshine and happy days! :-)

Happy Easter

We're on holiday now (yay!) so I'll be back next week (4 pounds heavier no doubt, from all the chocolate I'll be consuming, heyhey!). My Easter table above.

Happy, happy Easter :-)
