Instagram love

 Breakfast bliss with Frankie

 Anything for a scratch, he will even stand on top of his kennel!


 Frankie Magazine calendar ~ one for my God-daughter, one for me.

 Cherry the gentle, friendly, slobbery giant

 I may be slightly addicted to bento

 A gorgeous gift from Teresa of Amelie in Wonderland ~ more on this later.

 I arrived home after a very long last day of work before annual leave to find a gift from The Lettuce Shop. A box FULL of fresh produce ~ a foodie's delight.

 First stop as I entered the mall to do Christmas shopping ~ the florist.

 Pretty wedges from General Pants *swoon*

 Ok I may or may not have eaten this box for dinner and then for the following breakfast...

 My oh so creative Mum made these gorgeous coasters for me. I just love them!

 My sister-in-law whipped up this chocolate fountain for Christmas dinner. Enjoyed by kids big and small!

 Celia Birtwell secateurs from my bestie for Christmas. Pruning in style.

 Breakfast ~ freshly made Joulutorttu

Afternoon tea with a Finnish flavour...yum!

  6. Teresa the gift arrived looking beautiful, it really did bring a smile to my face. Thank you so much for the effort you made to make things so special to me, just lovely. I hope you had a merry Christmas too! xo

    @Sass, I also got a t-shirt from Mum with a transfer of my blog title, also gorgeous! The wedges are dreamy aren't they!? A bargain find when I wasn't even looking. xo

    @Shar, thank you. The coasters are adorable, I love gazing at them as I pop my morning coffee down. Just too cute for words! xx

    @Lisa, the blueberry tart is delicious, and so easy to make too! Once the pastry is ready it is simply a case of mixing the filling and popping it in and baking it. So easy!

  7. Thanks Deb, the photos pretty much sum up a few highlights of my week. I am crazy about Instagram and love sharing images. Mostly they are of food and pretty things I come across, things I'd love to share in real life. The coasters are way too cool. And the maltesers, well, they were a gift to myself and boy did I enjoy them! xo

  10. Coasters did turn out nice, now I must make some mouse pads for you with your book title on them and some with your blog title. I should have printed your book title at the back your t-shirt too. I'm glad you liked the coasters. xxoo

  11. Thanks Mum, the coasters were a real treat! A mousepad would be FABULOUS! You're a clever little duck. The shoes are too cute aren't they, not bad for $40! :)
