Hello June

"If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance."    Bern Williams

Cheers to May....

This Gin and Juice cocktail looks really delicious, or how about a Banana Almond Smoothie for  those of you on a health kick, which is something I need to go on after our holiday! We had a really great time and hopefully I'll get round to uploading some photos next week. Enjoy!

Jewellery

I bought some bright wooden beads recently and have made them into these lovely simple summer necklaces, we're off to Majorca for a week this afternoon and I'll definitely be packing these to liven up my outfits. See you when we get back!

Interior Ideas - Cool Cloakrooms

I'm trying to decide whether to paint or wallpaper our downstairs loo, these are a few images I've been looking at for inspiration, I want it to be quite glamorous and am thinking greys and golds might look good, what do you think?

Sweets and Treats - Coconut Cakes

coconut caramel cake / chocolate coconut cupcakes / coconut almond bites / almond coconut cupcakes / coconut macaroons

I love coconut in pretty much anything, but especially in cakes. I tried to make some coconut macaroons, which you'd think would be fairly easy, but mine didn't turn out that great so I'm not going to show you any pictures, I'll have a go at a coconut cupcake next and see how I get on!

Jewellery

Just a couple of pairs of earrings I've added to the shop this week, the first pair are faceted carnelian beads on sterling silver hooks and the second pair are textured gold filled hoops on gold filled hooks. I'm really pleased with them, simple yet effective! What do you think?
