I dont know if the lighter flowers are bluebells but they are very similar!

Some things are meant to be shared!

Aunt Sandra's


The lovely Jim for Aunt Sandra's in Belfast happened upon us yesterday - and boy was I glad he did!
It said on the side of the beautiful pink van - Made in Belfast For Your Pleasure - and a pleasure they where! 
Too many samples where taken - and much excitement is building for the gorgeous products they make literally 10 miles away from Rowallane Gardens, and less than that from Divis and the Black Mountain!
I hand picked a selection of gorgeous products for both locations, and am currently wrecking my head for pretty and enticing ways of displaying them :) Expect piccies in the not so distant future :)

Cupcake Prettiness :D

Lotsa lovely cupcakes this weekend :D
Started thursday making many many pretty things to top the cupcakes with - my first experience of lustre spray which was a joyous occasion! And a little messy whilst working out the best way of applying and making my stars etc beautifully shiny :)




and then came the cupcake making, lots of vanilla, coffee and choc orange for a golden wedding anniversary - and my favourite pretty girly ones for a christening :D





I hope everyone enjoys very much :D
