chocolate lego men - for realsies!

More in the kitchen fun! Sugar Swings has put together a great "how to" to help you make these cute Lego men - in chocolate! All you really need is a lot of patience and the Lego ice cube tray mold. I have the patience - if anyone finds the mold PLEASE let me know!

too good to eat

How divine are these cupcakes nadja sent? It doesn't get more fab than this, but I could never bring myself to eat them...

picnic perfect

Reading a friend's blog the other day, I was reminded that some time back I bought an absolutely adorable table, apparently vintage 50s. Not that I'd forgotten the table, but I'd forgotten that I meant to blog about it at the time and never got around to it - it's one of my favourite things I've ever bought. It's a collection of seven table pieces, each with little moonlanding-tripod-feet for legs and a different colour melamine top, all in the shape of a flower.

We recently spent a fabulous day in our garden having a champagne breakfast picnic, and my little table truly came in to its own. So instead of a table photoshoot, i give you the little flower in action...
