Marie Antoinette would have been impressed with our party ~_~ let me explain... my youngest daughter Claudia turned 6 a couple of weeks ago and then a few days later my sister had her birthday and prior to all of this my eldest sister had her birthday, way back in June... are you still with me?? hence the need for 3 cakes, but really who needs a reason to eat cake? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">our little chatter box had a lovely day, opening presents on our bed (our little ritual)</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">our little ham is such a tom boy...she loves this little car track. maybe one day we will buy her a slot car set. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">and then on the flip side she so desperately wanted this doll. one of those ones that wees and poos...you can even make it cry by squeezing it's arm but we cant bring ourselves to do it as it seems too cruel (we are crazy i tell ya) anyhow, she chose to have fish and chips at our favourite seafood place at sandgate and we ended the night with lots of sweet treats. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">a few days later we had a party to celebrate the 3 birthday girls. so much fun!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">i had no idea how i was going to decorate her cake but i knew it had to have little bunting flags on it. i had too much fun making those tiny bunting flags, i just want to make a whole bunch of them!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">then next morning i went shopping for party supplies and spotted some fairy floss which became the inspiration for how my cake would come together. </span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">since i am not a cake decorator, i leave that for my fabulous sister Anita aka <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bloomin-Scrumptious/210765318993399?ref=ts">bloomin' scrumptious</a> i decided to use little toys that the girls adore and popped a doily down as a picnic rug. the fairy floss acted as a cloud for her to sit upon. what do you think? do you like it? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New;">before we cut the cake we had a tea party of sorts</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">our whole house fell like a game of dominos with the flu. while we didnt get it diagnosed it was certainly more than the average head cold. poor old lili had to have a 9 day course of steroids to help with her asthma and even the man of the house was taken down with a temp of 38.5 degrees...not man flu as i first suspected ~_~</span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">what is the holy grail?? good question, when i find it i will let you know ~_~ but for now anything that grabs my fancy is good enough and this week i managed to find a few goodies for under $30.</span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">i just love this colander, the colour is so pretty, i need to paint lots of things in this shade of blue so that i can be surrounded by it. and this is not just a show piece, oh no, she is a working gal, heavy, so nice to hold. so happy she is mine! on the same outing my sister was with me and she found a sweet little mosaic brooch, really good day for gathering ~_~</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">then later in the week we hit another thrift store and found this baby.</span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">i seem to have a little collection of mirrors now and i love each and every one of them. </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">i haven't hung them all but i really do want to, they are like pieces of art work and should be displayed. i have the nicest etched mirror...maybe when i clean the craft room i can dedicate a wall to my mirrors.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">i have decided that this is a boy and i just think he is the most handsome typewriter ever made. he is an Olivetti, studio 42, circa 1947 and we are in love with him. lucky my hubby had his eyes open and spotted him on the bottom shelf just waiting to be snatched off to a new life. imagine the stories that have been written on this little beauty... my imagination runs wild of who the owner might have been. he takes pride and place in our family room ~_~ swoon!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Courier New;">i know that i am not alone in my addiction, i seem to have passed it on to my girls and of course my hubby is the biggest hoarder of us all (you should see his collection of old planes and i don't mean the type that fly). but after reading a little article in my Mollie Makes magazine i am going to start calling myself an 'avid gatherer' instead of a 'thrifter' it has a nicer ring to it don't you think? and i have decided to embrace my addiction...after all, i have plans for my gathering even if they are just dreams for now ~_~</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">we justified the purchase by saying that it would be used to help promote her cake decorating business. the round top is a tray so the idea would be to display a cake inside and pop the bite size taste test slices (try saying that 3 times fast) on the top and take it over to the prospective bride...cant you just imagine that? anyhow...thanks to anita not having enough room at her place at the moment this little treasure gets to live with me for now...</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">and now how about some pictures of some cakes that she has made so far this year..</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">well after a much longer time away from this blog than anticipated...i am back!! after 12 months of study i can call myself a florist ~_~ now all i have to do is find myself a job. i thought i might pop on here and show you the results of my final display. the brief was that we had to create a window display or a display for a bridal expo but the catch was that we all had different dresses...dresses from the red carpet. mine just so happened to be a gorgeous shade of blue violet and after toying with the idea of using shades of orange i decided to stick with a monochromatic theme and here are the results. </span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">not sure how to write in this new style blogger (well new to me as i havent been on here since november last year!) i used to be able to write and insert my picture and drag them around etc...but it was a huge mission just to do what i have done so i am not going to mess with it anymore.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">we had to make a hair piece, bridal trailing bouquet, bridesmaids posy and a table arrangement. i decided on a candy bar theme and made some sweet paper bunting and asked my sister to make me some macarons and a cake with ruffled icing. i borrowed some candy dishes from my niece and filled them with purple treats. </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">the second photo shows my lavender and spray rose hair piece at the bottom of the teapot.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">the third photo shows the trail bouquet, so pretty!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">i love my cascading table arrangement but it looks huge on this small table so just imagine it is sitting on a bridal table ~_~</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">and how cute is my posy sitting on top of a stack of macarons which were divine by the way.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">i was very happy with the results and exhausted afterwards! a week later and i am just about to refine my resume and go hit the pavement. wish me luck!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Courier New;">i hope to be back here more often now, any advice on how to work this new blogger would be greatly appreciated. </span><br />

<div><span style="color:#ff6600;">anyhow, the photos below still have an eastery theme, i guess next Sunday the displays will be all about mothers...</span></div>

<div><span style="color:#ff6600;">i hope that your tummy isn't too sore from all that chocolate.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#ff6600;">i am trying to get a bit of stitching done before this Sunday..i am teaching 3 days this week so i am not sure how far i will get. it is my aim to clean the craft room so that i can see what colour ribbon and threads i need to finish off my projects. i have some lovely ideas in my mind but it is finding the time to make them that is proving to be hard.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#ff6600;">anyhow, enjoy the next 2 days off.</span></div>

<div><span style="color:#cc0000;">one little thing that i am most happy to share is my fabulous idea for storing my fabric. i think it is a great idea and perhaps has been done before but it is new to me. i must admit it isn't quite finished yet...i would like to finish sanding it down and giving it a nice coat of cream or pastel pink paint but it will do for now.</span></div>
