Apart from that lovely surprise and seeing some lovely comments on my blog (thank you!) my morning was not so great, one thing after another went wrong, and to top it off an appointment I had been waiting months for got cancelled right at the last minute! Hmph I was not a happy bunny! (Rant over!)
So, I resulted to the best thing you can do when things are getting stressy, a nice cuppa tea and a piece of cake!
There is a very good reason why I chose to take a picture of this. Well two actually. The cake is a giant strawberry French Fancy, with butter cream and jam in the middle! Very tasty. I have been craving one of these ever since I read Lupin's blog on Bugs and Fishes where she has made these gorgeous felted french fancies that look yummier than the real thing!The second reason is the cup (filled to the top with tea!) I bought this at a craft fair I was exhibiting at last November. I love giraffes, I have many giraffe items, and even been lucky enough to feed them on a trip to South Africa! So you can imagine my excitement when I saw this stall, I fell in love! The artist is Liz Riley, and you can see her website here. She makes all the ceramics herself and then paints them, I want them all and had to tear myself away before I bought the whole set! You cant see very well in my not so good picture (sorry but my mouth was watering!) but the giraffes are kissing, it is very cute.
Anyway, quick update on the shop, my labels have now been shipped! So all being well I'm hoping to start listing this time next week, but will keep you updated. Just keeping fingers crossed that the mail system etc is kind to me!
Until next time x
