Birthdays, Bowling and Burgers...

We've had a great weekend in our house...2 birthdays...Abi turned the big 13 and Ethan 7...so in honour of the occasion I thought I would make a fun, flower birthday cake complete with tulips for candles!




 
This was followed by a family game of ten pin...which, for the first time ever, I won!! I don't think my husband has got over it yet!


To top it all off we had big fat birthday burgers...


Happy Birthday Abi and Ethan...love you both so much!

Christmas Inspiration #12...Roses are Red...

Only a few more days to go....hope you've got lots of lovely ideas for your home this year! In case you are still looking for more inspiration, I used some gorgeous red roses here to create a couple of  different table settings using a mixture of containers that I have at home. Red roses look gorgeous with silver vases and goblets...


Green hypericum berries add a lovely natural touch for a Christmas table.. 




 
Why not use some ivy from the garden to dress your napkins and place cards..





For a really simple and effective Christmas table, why not collect some green bottles and containers for your roses...it doesn't need to cost a fortune!!






Use natural wood blocks to create your own place card holder...I just used some red wire, inserted it into the wood and curled it at the top to hold your card..





Have a great week!x
