Happy Easter Chickerrooos

Well it's Easter Sunday so I thought I would make some messy Easter cupcakes.  

I have loved these little things since I was a child ... oh dear, guess I will never grow up - or grow out of tat!!!

Someone tell her how to rotate the image in the blog, I feel all the blood rushing to my tiny chicky head!!

 Soooo these were the messy cupcakes.  A little bit lemony with lemon butter icing.  Not too pretty but hopefully taste better than they look!!

What did you get up to? Any nice roasts?  Yuuuuuuummm.

Easter treats

I have had a lovely creative & inspiring Easter weekend.

Saturday I met up with some fabulous friends for a trip to Woodbridge Vintage & Contemporary Fair. it was brilliant & I saw lots of bloggers there too with their gorgeous stalls of goodies.

We also saw Bill Nighy which was funny as it took us the rest of the day to remember his name - duh!

Anyway Sunday I got up early despite my body telling me that it really didn't want to. I nipped off to a couple of carboot sales inspired to find some trims or ideas for some t-shirt designs for Big Blue Sky... I still haven't started yet but think that this china pussy cat find might end up being painted on the front of a t-shirt!!

I also grabbed these pretty tea cups & plates from a stall and spent the rest of the day debating if to sell them as they are, fill the cups with candle wax or just keep them!

And because I hadn't eaten quite enough sugar this weekend I baked some muffin sized cupcakes. Lemon sponge, with lemon curd (homemade too???? help I need to get out more) and lemon icing. So I had one for breakfast on my new plate. The simple things in life eh? (think that might include me!).

I hope you all had a great weekend too xxxx

Happy Easter

Well Happy Easter weekend to you all xxx

I am sitting at my computer inhaling micro sized speckled chocolate eggs and shall have finished a whole packet by the end of the blog - oh dear, that's undone 3 nights of yoga :-(

I love Victorian cards, they mix the oddest scenarios, maybe I'm the only one who has never seen some little chicks sheltering from the April showers under a parasol?

I hope you are managing to fit in some relaxation this weekend. I'm looking forward to lay-ins, vintage clothes & accessory shopping with girlfriends & maybe a spot of lunch out too. Perfection. Maybe I can fit in a bit of reading in bed with coffee & croissants oooh lazy mornings are goood.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, filled with fun & laughter x
