Easter Island Head Flower Pot

Found this cool Easter Island plant pot at Dickson's Garden Centre in Bangor. It costs £19.99 so I won't be buying one, but I really like it.

Ikea's New Twee Fabric

I've said before, Ikea is very hit and miss for me, but their new fabric by the meter is so bang on my taste, that I'm going to stock up on it.

The mountain goats with the little Swiss houses are absolutely must have for me, so I'll be making extra curtains for the bedroom (which is unusually neutral) and matching cushion covers for the bed.

The crabs could well make an appearance as kitchen curtains in the summer.

Well done, Ikea!

Dr. Seuss Cupcakes

I adore the illustrations in Dr Seuss's books & yesterday found a lot of 50th anniversary books for 99p.

Inspired me to make some Cat in the Hat cupcakes.
I am terrible at baking, so I'm pretty pleased with myself.

If you want to do some kitsch style baking, I'd point out www.frenchforcupcake.blogspot.com A fashion & baking blog by another local girl, also a Claire!

1960's China Cabinet

The second in my collection of cabinets, bought in a charity furniture place on the Cregagh Road in Belfast for £30.

I've wanted a second one for a while, but I'd be willing to sacrifice it for the space I ever find my boat bar.
