Happy Friday everyone, I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week so far. So yesterday I shared the sweetest Mothers Day table setting – today is all about gorgeous gifts for your incredible Mama! I’ve always found giving gifts to my Mum a little tricky, as I feel that whatever I give it would never be enough to thank her for everything that she’s done! But all Mama’s deserve something beautiful, be it a delicious cup of tea while wearing sparkly slippers or a subscription to endless goodies by the gorgeous Sample Bar (you might remember the incredible Mothers Day parcel I received a little while ago – I can now share what’s inside!!) either way no matter what you give your Mama this Mothers Day, she is going to love it! xo

To say I am a teeny bit excited about today is a little of an understatement. My hubby and I are going to Sydney for six days, he’s going for work, I’m going for sightseeing, shopping and of course catching up with some very lovely ladies while there – the perfect little break! The blog might be a little quiet for the next few days, but I’ll be sharing all of my lovely new Sydney finds on Instagram and Facebook which you’re of course more than welcome to follow. Have a fantastic week everyone, I can’t wait to see and share all wonderful sites Sydney has to offer. x

Oh my, so I mentioned on Facebook last night that I have some very exciting news about my baking classes! Last night I caught up with the very lovely ladies from The Tea Lady over a few cups of delicious tea – we were chatting away with ideas of how to combine our little businesses and we came up with the loveliest idea ever! Baking classes at The Tea Lady – so as of the 2nd of October, all evening decorating classes (and maybe some weekend classes) will be held at the cutest place in town! I am so excited and beyond honoured that my classes will be held in such a beautiful shop – be sure to email hello@madefromscratch.co.nz to book your place for the petal class at The Tea Lady, you wont want to miss out. x
This morning I had the absolute honour of going onto the Tv One Breakfast program to talk about some simple tricks that you can do for setting a special dinner party with Toni and Tamati. I was and still am completely blown away that I was asked, it was such an amazing morning, I hope my nerves didn’t show through too much! It was then quickly followed by a baking class with a group of the loveliest ladies, where we whipped up some very yummy treats. If you missed the show this morning you can see my interview with Toni and Tamati here, thank you all so much for all your stunning comments and support – you are all so amazing! x
