Oh my, it’s so so lovely to be back – I’ve really missed you all, our fluffy puppy and blogging each day it so strange not doing it each day! Although in saying that my hubby and I had the most wonderful time in Sydney last week – he was there for work and I was lucky enough to tag along to do a little shopping and catch up and meet some incredibly amazing people. Like catching up with the wonderful Kate Robinson at the Donna Hay (where naturally quite a bit of shopping was done!) general store before brunch as Bills and meeting insanely lovely and gorgeous Mia from Mia Loves Pretty at the delicious Grounds of Alexandria for lunch – beyond perfect! As well as of course shopping and catching up with lovely people my hubby and I wandered around this gorgeous city taking in all of the beautiful sites that it has to offer – it really is such a wonderful city! So since returning from our week away being a tourists in Sydney. I now want to explore Auckland a little more like a tourist, I think there is something wonderful about trying to see the city that you live in through a tourists eyes! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week so far, I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to – oh and I’ve started my baking classes again, be sure to have a peek here! xo
Happy Friday everyone, I hope you’re all having a wonderful end to the week. I’ve been in the kitchen all morning baking a delicious wedding cake, so I thought I would share some lovely Red Velvet Cupcakes – they’re such a classic cupcake and would be perfect treat to bake over the weekend. I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned, oh and don’t forget to enter the wonderful LET LIV’s Kitchen Week Giveaway, it’s beyond gorgeous! x

Beautifully styled by the very talented Leanne from Sweet Style, this really is such a lovely dessert table. x

Tonight we collected all the lovely items from On My Hand who have helped style this big event – including a special hand painted sign! We are collecting the rest of our new products from our amazingly talented screen printers tomorrow (nothing like a bit of a deadline to get the heart rate up), making some final amendments to our product booklets just in time to print and of course remembering to breath!

2. Looking for some fun accessories to hand out to your guests? How about some chevron pinwheels!
3. How fantastic is this wedding styled by Heima Store and Heim Interiors - loving all the colours and patterns!
4. These cosmetic bags make the perfect bridesmaid gift.
