Wedding Season Struggles.

If you're like me and have lots of weddings emerging on the horizon, then you'll be getting that same panic of what to get these newly weds for a wedding gift. Not only do you have the stress of what to wear to the special day, but we also have to decide what to buy!

So to give all of you a helping hand, here's a list of some ideas:

For those Newly's don't have everything yet

• Cutlery is always a safe bet, after all, everyone uses cutlery. Why not also make it a bit more unique with some nice napkin rings, or place mats.
• A Mixer. Or is you don't want to spend too much on a present, what about a hand held mixer! Always come in handy.
• A Casserole dish/ other cooking crockery.
• A cake stand with dome.
• A tiered fruit stand.

The list goes on and on for those who need everything, but what about the newlys who already have everything... that's where the problem starts!

For those Newly's who already have everything

• What about a Flensted hanging Mobile? Easy to set up, easy to wrap, and a lovely addition to any room to remind them of their special day! I especially like the Peace and Love mobile for a couple, or this Viking Ships mobile would make a nice addition to a sitting room or kitchen!

•  How about this Bengt and Lotta Couple (small, W10xH10cm) Candle Holder, unique and cute. Made out of solid black iron, this will last them a lifetime! (Also available in large, W19cm x H20cm)

•  However if you still would like to go down the "useful" route and get them something that they will use continuously, what about these Rochere Bee Glasses with a matching Jug? 

 Stay tuned for a post on wedding ideas for those of you planning your very own important day!

 Hope you all have a lovely day, full of laughter and joy. Much Love, Charlotte x

My Name is Charlotte, and I'm a Bake-aholic

After all these rainy days, I have come to the realisation of what is my perfect rain day.

You know those days/half days off when you're supposed to be doing jobs. The important jobs, like laundry and tidying up. The jobs that you really cannot be bothered to do. Well, it's those day that I usually spend doing what I love. 

Baking.

Now when I say 'baking' I mean 'cakes', not cookies, not pastries, not savoury meals. Baking sweet delicious, mostly fattening, cakes.

Lemon, Victoria Sponge, chocolate, orange.. the list is endless. I love them all.

I love the process of putting my apron on.I love having my music blaring. I love combining all the ingredients to create something filled with sugary love. 

Cannot beat it.

 (My latest Victoria Sponge, with freshly whipped cream and raspberry jam... yum.) 

So tell us, What is your favourite thing? Eating chocolate whilst watching a black and white film? Shopping online for bargains? Snuggling up on a cold afternoon and reading a good book? 

Come on and share with us, We'd love to know!
