Vintage Embroidery Patterns? Yes Please!

I know I should stay away from eBay...
Every time I check my bank balance and I see a PayPal withdrawal I cringe.
But honestly, who can resist a bargain?
I found a bulk lot of vintage embroidery transfers for super cheap.....
They begged me to buy them.
So I did.
And wow, I was happy with my little package.
And hey I like to share.....
:)
(More to come!)

Sunday

Sundays.
The 7th day.
The day of rest.
Our Sundays are started with a family breakfast.
I cook up a storm and we share deliciousness together.
Today it was an experiment.
Orange and Honey Pancakes with Strawberries and Cream.
They were amazing.
The citrus and berries were so refreshing and the cream was light and fluffy.
Perfect.
I will make these again.
And I will share the recipe.



I even did something a little special and made this for my beautiful little girl...


(Another phot blogger will upload sideways....Hmm!)

They were met with approval as soon as she saw the strawberries, her latest favourite fruit.



And another reason I like Sundays.....
It reminds me to stop from my busy weekly duties and remember....





Have a lovely Sunday!
:)

This Crown Jewel Cake..... I would make up an occasion just to have an excuse to make it!



And to match the royal theme... Pastry Crowns filled with Cheesecake Mousse, topped with Glazed Banana Bits.

And where can you keep all these precious crown jewels?
In a castle of course....
A Castle Cake! (Part II here)



Though I would want one of these in my moat to keep those pesky thieves at bay...



Ok, let's step away from the jewels, castle and shark and head on over to the beach...
Pudding Beach Cups!



What could be so lovely and refreshing at the beach?
These yummy Citrus jelly slices.



And a few more just because they look delicious...

Chocolate Party Spoons!



Because I have a strange obsession with sprinkles...

Colourful Spiral Cookies.



And if I am feeling the love for my caramel obsessed hubby...

I could make him up some Microwave Caramel Popcorn.



So now I need to keep myself busy so I don't go baking naughty treats....Looks like folding washing it is!
