British Cupcakes!

I know in past blogs I have mentioned how time seems to pass me by, maybe it’s since motherhood started and I’m always on a catch up to grab any Zzzz’s as I can find! Archie is 1, a terrifying thought but we made it!

We hosted the all important first birthday with his friends. It’s a complete mind field baby parties unless you have been to lots, which I had obviously managed to avoid till now. What to give them, the prized contents of the Party bag… how many balloons etc.

I remember parties when I was little with mummy floating around in a pretty dress looking so calm and collected with Smartie Artie entertaining us all…. I wonder if he’s still around. (He must be about 100) I just wish I looked so together on Saturday, with 98% humidity it was all game over really on the hair front and basically give up from there onwards as cake and icing was smeared all over the new Ribbon and Roses tunic.




Archie loved it, not that he could tell if it was Monday, Easter or his 1st birthday and the first taste of cake was priceless.  As always Annabel Karmel came up trumps on the food front, though I wish Hats and Bells children's party caterers were in Singapore rather than London - could have saved a lot of stress! And I do hope the sugar high kids got to their lunchtime naps before the melt down started.

Lots of love

Pretty please….

I hate admin, there’s no hiding from it. Everyone has to do it but it’s too boring/time consuming and it's always last on my “to do list” or I leave it till the last possible moment before we get stung for late charges.

I’m thinking of investing in these vintage floral inspired leaver arch folders to make the process less painful (well any excuse really…) I guess if you have to do the most mundane of jobs and file it away, at least it’s pretty to look at. Pretty on the outside and no doubt ugly bills on the inside. Also those horrid blue leaver arch folders remind me of those dreaded school exams. Who wants to be reminded of those days!

I love liberty and anything floral. I have lots of note books, post cards stuck to my pin board for inspiration and my husband gave me a sweet Liberty print fabric knot watch for Christmas which I really enjoy wearing. The liberty vintage inspired tunics have been getting the thumbs up from everyone so I’m obviously not alone!

I wonder if I can take this obsession to the walls…Don’t get me wrong I love sharp lines, beige’s and whites but am longing to fill our bedroom wall with an amazing floral print wallpaper. But will it work with our 98% humidity out here in Singapore… it would be too depressing to watch the corners start to peel away.


Lots of love
