  1. Love your photos and your style as always Zara. That cake looks fab but I must say it is the pink canisters that really caught my eye :)

  2. The cake looks delicious. I have just finished making the pampepato cake from Country Style on page 91.......the smell is gorgeous(have to wait for Xmas day to have a whole piece though!)

  3. Lovely advent swap gifts Zara. I'm trying everso hard to stick with local, handmade etc for my gifts but sometimes the recipients tastes dictate otherwise.
    Your pictures are great.

  4. Love your tape collection. Oh how I would adore a tidy sewing room, at the moment it is the catch all room.

  5. The idea of the gift swap is lovely. I'm working on handmade and thrifted too. Where do you get your lovely tape selection? Is it a long term collection? Cute canisters too!

  13. The ornament swap has been so much fun, I love getting pressies in the mail just for me:) Your cucumber plant looks so nice and healthy for some reason I'm not having much luck with them or zucchini but I keep on trying. I hope you have a lovely week Zara. x
