Spoiled

A knock on the door yesterday signified the end of my birthday festival. A birthday is only complete when the last birthday-ish thing happens, you know... So the postie brought me a lovely box filled with treats. My family have been away for the past month in New York, so these are birthday treats from afar...


Teatowels, a teacup, some pretty door knobs, some pretty undies and a book on baking cupcakes! I've not ventured into the world of little cake making too much, so this will be fun to play with. The teatowels are almost to pretty to use, but how could one not? Two of the knobs have found their home on our art cupboard and I can see the teacup getting a daily workout over the coming wintery months...

Later, Xan and I made some noise in the kitchen with the pots, making honeycomb...


And playing with dye and silk.
