tea party

This lovely lady is getting married, and couldn't be more excited!

So we had a Tea party bridal shower.

I filled the house with flowers, peonies her favorite.

Lots of cupcakes.

with edible glitter, to add a little extra sparkle.

Tea was drunk out of pretty tea cups.

And I decorated the house with hearts.

Can't wait for her big day!

a day in the life

My amaryllis is blooming and I have been gazing at it longingly, wishing I could "honey I shrunk the kids" myself and sit inside its giant trumpet.

I did some shopping, love this red shopping bag that my sister gave me for christmas.

I baked some bread and I think I have really turn a corner on my bread making skills. My lovely husband gave me a bread book for christmas and it has some great tips. Today I made a half wholewheat/half white flour basic bread recipe but I think the real difference was made by putting a roasting tin half full of boiling water in the oven while the bread was baking and brushing the top of the bread with salt water(disolve a pinch on salt into 2 tbsp of water) before baking. It made for the most gorgeous bread, nice crusty crust and a lovely soft middle. I'm seriously thinking of baking my own bread once a week now. Plus it fills the house the best aroma!
