Ive been meaning to show off my fabulous prize that I won in Kerry Fawcett's Mothers Day giveaway draw in April so today I finally got the camera out so I can do just that. Kerry's great blog showing all her tasty treats is here for you to see. http://ella-roseminis.blogspot.com/
Isnt this a darling little set with a breakfast fit for a Queen! Dont tell them but I wish my children bought me such finaries on Mothers Day, I seem to remember baking myself Chocolate Croissants with a cup of tea!
At the moment as you can see, Lola has aquired the set for her Mouse house, as she tells me I have no 'normal' house for it to go in until I get my French house on the go, and then, sorry Lola, Im nabbing it back! The gorgeous table and stools were made as a pressie by Victoria http://darksquirrelminiatures.blogspot.com/ for Lola and I shouldnt be showing them here as Lola demands we need to catch up her own blog and show off all her gifts but they looked so perfect on there, I had to show, thankyou Victoria!
Well, I recieved that parcel , early April, so today was quite bemused to find the postman bring me another box with EllaRose Miniatures label on the box? I couldnt remember ordering anything, Ive been good with my spending limits lately, honest!
So imagine my excitement to open it up and find 2 beautiful candy displays made in perfect pink and green candy stripe papers, full to the brim with sticks of rock and swirly lollipops!
They are gorgeous and will go beautifully on my counter display thankyou so so much Kerry for making them for me! Kerry thought they would fit right in with Honeydukes and they sure do! My pictures dont do them justice, even on macro!
I was instantly Inspired to get the fimo out, only to find I cant for the life of me find my giant floor tile that I use to bake everything on.....where on earth have I put it!! So until I scour the house in search of the safe place I obviously placed it, I have to just get out my notebook and sketch pictures of what I will eventually make!! How frustrating!
SO a huge thankyou and Hug to Kerry Fawcett for my fabulous new goodies!
Oh and that was the second surprise today, I awoke to find Id won the giveaway on Carol's blog http://true2scale.blogspot.com/with the amazing prize of $25 of goodies from her Etsy store! Imagine my delight at being able to choose from the beautiful array of miniatures, all perfect for Honeydukes in shades of green and pink! I have made my choice, hard as it was ( I do so love that delightful little halloween haunted house kit......another time Im sure!) and you will all see what ive chosen as soon as it arrives! Cant wait.
So 2 surprises in a day, shouldnt there be another, they say things come in 3's! Im off to check out if there is anything I can enter in case i'm on a lucky streak! If I win big time on the lottery Ill buy you all something of course!

He He you know me Tooooo well! I should rephrase it maybe and say I havnt been too bad!I didnt go for Julies house though I really loved it, now that was willpower! Im dying to do some sweets now, I cant find this tile and its driving me potty, think someone has dropped it and broken it and not told me! xxxxx
Congrats Lucky Kate heehee. You must be on a roll. I love your prize and the new lollipops and sweet sticks are awesome. Don't you hate to loose things, I spend more time looking for lost stuff than anything then hubby wants me to find his lost stuff. I always say "I am woman finder of things"
Hugs
Victoria
Victoria, Im having a lovely day of surprises today, so who knows whats to come! Its driving me MAD not to find this tile, I cant get baking without it and I know it will end up being in some silly place I forgot about, grrrrr. xxxx
Ooooooooooooo lovely :-)
Arnt they Kat, I have such lovely friends, you included of course! xxxx
Wow! I would definitely buy a lottery ticket for tomorrow night Kate!
The gifts from Kerry are just to die for. The sweet cones are just perfect.
I have just bought a couple of the mini houses too and they look wonderful even in their packaging!
find that tile honey so you can get making! Or nip to Sainsbury's and buy one of their glass cutting boards which I understand are perfect for the job too.
woohooo fabulous things!!! and congratulations on winning the giveaways...Carols kits are fab!!! i just made the cake stands and the haunted house...sooooooo cute!!!! :D Linda x
Janice, lovely to see your KDF report part 1! I never do the lottery, John does so maybe I should do it this week! I cant wait for my kits to come, I like putting things like that together! Ive seen the glass boards in Argos too but although they say withstand 150 degreees I wondered if that meant just for things standing on them heatwise and was unsure as to whether they could actually go in the oven, would hate to cause a disaster lol! I NEED to make something! xxx
Linda, cant wait to see you kits made up, I do like fiddling with little things but like I said the eyesight is going so maybe Ill need an eye test and glasses before they arrive lol! xxx
You are on a lucky streak arent you !! lovely goodies , you must be chuffed to bits :0)
Now for your clay, do you have any pyrex or glass cook ware ? or glass ashtrays ? both would work !
I do all my clay baking on a glass flan dish, works like a dream and I stand an upturned drinking glass on it to prop my legs around.
