Old Cameras,

Just back from a fancy dress Murder Mystery evening. Am in awe of the talent everyone else seemed to possess when it came to acting and accents! I had to be in an evening 1920's outfit which was fun and speak with an american accent. Kind of ok with that accent as I used to live in the States for years. I guess though that most of the people there were from a theatre group so they had to be amazing.

I was really impressed with the other half as well as he had to be in a Safari costume and also speak with an American accent.

He also ended up being the murderer, which no one guessed.

Well with that I will leave you as I go back to my pretend American murdering safari adventurer husband.

Oh did I forget to mention this really cute REX camera?

Picked it up a while back and it seemed to go with the 

Dr. Safari look!

To the next murder mystery game.

A big thanks to the most amazing hosts and cooks! 

Hope all is well with you guys.

Spring Fayre Cakes.

A few of us had the pleasure of attending a lovely Spring Fayre today in a lovely local school. I was particularly excited by this pretty cake stand, I am quite easily pleased!

We were all equally as excited by these beautiful chocolate cupcakes.

 I didn't try these dinky cakes. 

If you didn't know by now, I'm a little bit of a chocolate fan.

 I've just eaten one of these lovely cakes now, whilst writing this.

And this was the photograph after I had brought all the cakes 

of the stand! hahaha.

I had no option but to buy all of them so I could take a photograph of this cake-stand in it's full glory.

Take care for now.

Vintage Signs,

 We visited three of the local Museums today in Swansea. The little ones particularly liked the Tramshed where they could climb up to the top deck of an old tram.  The museum displays memorabilia from the street trams of Swansea as well as the famous Mumbles Tram.

(should I say parts of the tram?)

This is where we also saw this collection of colourful old tin signs.

Loving the font and the colours used on all these old signs.

Hope you are all enjoying the start of your holidays.

Take care for now.

Blue and White Spots.

 My lovely friend and next door neighbour Chris is going away for a few months, Boo. We will all so miss her.

Many of you will know that she is featured quite a bit in my blog. A good friend who also brings tasty homemade delights round and then models my china to match her really cute outfits.

Today's post brings you Chris in a beautiful navy blue and white spotty dress from her favourite shop anthropologie.

Chris with vintage handmade cushion and crocheted blanket.

 Blue spotty cup.

 Blue and white stripy teapot.

 Cheeky hand.

 Little one is really getting into china at the moment.

I love it when he asks in the morning, 

"Which coffee shop shall we go too"!

Training him early.

Well hope you all have a good day.

Take care for now. 

And hopefully more posts of visits from lovely Chris when she returns.

The Little Bakeshop,

I love visiting 

The Little Bakeshop in Mumbles 

It is a really friendly coffee shop as well as specialist in beautiful desserts.
 We have sampled quite a few of their cakes now.

I always have to try out something chocolatey, and I so am never disappointed.

Always happy to be greeted by pretty vintage china

and cute knitted cup-cakes.

I'm a bit of a fan of gold frames.

Little tasty samples to try which always goes down well with the little ones!

And oh my word these gluten free Brownies are so tasty. 

My next door neighbour Chris now pops by with some of these beauties. 

A very nice neighbour!

Pastries don't last long here!

And of course how can you go wrong with delicate vintage china to serve your lovely tasty desserts on!

I have been meaning to write this post for over a month now. This has been the longest time I haven't written in my little blog. I'm sure you all have been missing it! hehe
It has probably been the busiest month in a long time which is great. I think the sun has arrived and suddenly everyone is ready  for vintage china!

Anyway I am always excited to see another coffee shop anywhere, you so can never have enough! So if you have a chance pop into this really lovely and friendly cake shop.

The Little Bakeshop were kind enough to donate these beautiful chocolate cupcakes for our recent vintage tea party. They went down very well!

Ok I had one, but only one though. I had to test them!

And it was ammmmmmazing!

Have a really lovely day.
