After popping into Cath Kidston last week for baby inspiration for my friend who is due to pop any day now (Come on JB… Hope he comes out soon : ) I got chatting to the lovely Harriet behind the counter who helpfully wrapped up my beautiful gift for me.  After discussing all things vintage and tea party related (Naturally!) she mentioned that there was due to be a real first for this new Cambridge store in the form of a

Since last December, there has been one wonderful constant in all of my baking and tea parties…. Deborah, My AMAZING and personal jam lady at Hardwick Cakes & Celebrations.

After a few recent requests for these dusty yet fashionable players of music… well, I have found a brand new fascination and love to pour my hours of wasted Google and Pinterest time into… The Gramophone. And whilst researching these most beautiful musical boxes, I have been enjoying the very intriguing and extremely smile-inducing playlist provided by The Shellac Sisters, a group of four glamourous retro girlies w

Did you seen the Strawberries and Cream Sandwich that our nations favourite supermarket had made as an intriguing partner for this summers’ Wimbledon? It was a a clever little marketing tool in my eyes, and sold at only a £1 for this confusing little package. I, of course headed round the corner to pick up one to try… Much to my Twitter and Facebook Friends’ (And possibly even my own!) disgust hehe… I l
