Reading Matters....

I received two books in the post this week!

The first one,Sweet Shop of Dreams was on my Amazon wish list after reading her other one....

My Husband had ordered it so that was a lovely surprise to get....

And the second one was a book I won in a Giveaway!

 I won this from the LOVELY Kelly over at

 Kelly's Clutter/Kelly's Recipes for Life....

 It is full of interesting info and tips and all about looking after your home more naturally-less products and chemicals-which I always find a balancing act as I like a clean home but do not wish to destroy the environment in the process!

As you can see -I took my 'preparation' seriously....Well I have to read it before I can begin....

Thank you Kelly -Bloggers like you are the reason Blogland is such a lovely place to be!

Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Weekend,

Creativity and Cupcakes....

A few weeks ago I bought a few books during a charity shop rummage,one of which was....

 Which I have now finished and SO enjoyed....

 

The only trouble is that reading about them makes me want to eat one....

Mmmm....

But I have managed to avoid making a batch in my own kitchen by keeping busy...

I have been over at the Studio quite a lot catching up on things,one being a mirror that is in need of some tlc....

 The gold may look nice but it is quite garish and tatty,so on with some of the Annie Sloan wonder paint, the first coat is now done.. I will show you it when it is finished....

 Then, I have a few Birthdays coming up,so wrapped this picture ready to give....

Then Birthday number two, I got some mint imperials (their favourite) and put them in a jar all prettied up!

Now do I make those Cupcakes?.....

Warm Wishes,

Callie
