Cups and Cookies

Congratulations for Diamond Jubilee

It is so cold! And on a day like today, or any another other day really....I love a nice hot coffee and bit of chocolate!

Fuji baked lovely soft choco cookies for us with some crunchy peanuts butter.

(Brownies are undoubtedly one of my all time favourites: she said)

To celebrate the queens 60th year we used our vintage jubilee cups and saucer.

Maisy seems to be enjoying the snow too!

vintage cups

I went out with Fuji to London, it was sooo cold but was always fun!!

We went to Angel in north London, and hunted for lovely vintage items.
There were a lot of lovely items in the market, especially these vintage/antique cups.

They make me want to have lots of tea parties with my friends.

I'm currently in the process of starting an art project in the school. What i do is entirely me choice and therefore chose modernist architecture. After an introduction I moved on to inspiration. Throughout the week I've been collecting up pictures, despite the fact that not all relate to architecture the pictures come together to make a good mood board.

Cleaning Tip (Taps)

Hi, monday morning is my cleaning day.

My task of the day was clearing my bath tap ( toooo much lime scale )

it's splashing water every where. and as it's no longer unscrewed, I'm finding it not so easy to clean.

I did try a couple different ways of cleaning it but none were very easy .

I've been watching my daughter make stuff out of balloons this weekend,

I thought they were quite flexible and tuff. With a little imagination I found that this is the easiest way to clean taps.

You can just cut the top off a ballon, and depending on the tap size you can adjust the opening.

Next you just put in the cleaning liquid, I used vinegar (best use a white vinegar).

I have used the bleach before it was too strong and it peeled off the chrome and damaged my taps.

Perfect!

My friend spent a romantic weekend with her husband in Bruges (Belgium).
She kindly brought back some beautiful chocolate which 'my' name on the package.

I love these kind of presents!! ... and I love chocolate! Preferably dark.
