How cute is this animal alphabet  poster I know one little girl that would love to have this ... make that a big one as well :)

I would love this happy birthday card for my next birthday 

I'm loving this fabric atm and would love to make lots of this out of it 

how cute are this little Book plates

anyone feel like some toasty mulled cider ... or just the bag ?


Lastly how lovely is this arctic bear stamp!

Hope you enjoyed some of my little finds.

what we fill our days with

Hello poppits,
what grand things have you been up to of late ?
Now that it's getting warmer Edie and I are spending so much more time out side and loving it, even if it mean being more dirty than normal and having slightly damp clothes.



We've had some really warm days lately which were promptly followed by 4 days of rainy weather and thunder storms, but before all that wether happened  Edie had some fun in the sprinkler !
I don't think she was too sure and possibly preferred the mud puddle that was created from the run off water...




TTFn,

Little Vintage Edie style ...

Hello Poppits,
Today after a very long absents we have hopefully gotten beck into the groove of linking up with  Small style and Little vintage style  each week. Make sure you pop over and see what everyone else is wearing this week.


Last Monday was Halloween here in Australia, we don't tend to celebrate it much in Australia but it's defiantly growing each year. This Year we though it would be fun to have our own little halloween party with toffee apples, pecan pie, watermelon brains and even a few carved pumpkins for good effect.

A few weeks before i had , had a grand brain wave that Edie and I should go as thing 1 and thing 2 from the cat in the hat by dr Seuss ! 
And boy oh boy was it fun being crazy twins for a few hours. 



TTFN,
Lili and Edie xxx

MY Birthday

Hello poppits,
To day was the first day of my second decade ... 
wow.  some may being to complain at this point in life about being (sooo) old pfff, how you expect to live and have some amazing adventures and even some pretty spiffy stories to tell. So instead i welcome you, this coming year will just add to my memories and all those special moments. 

and for me getting older is so much easier than being one of those clicky little teens,  sure theres always that aspect with people but i've found as you grow in yourself this can give you the chance to flourish into a individual in you take the chances that are handed to you.


anyway i might have some birthday picture for you tomorrow, I had a lovely and very long/ busy day and can't wait for my holiday to begin on monday ....

TTFN,
Lili now 20 years old,xxxx

Day 18/365 days of new things


Hello Poppits,
hows your day been? 
today i got back into the kitchen after still feasting on Edie's party left overs... and boy was it good.
We had some yummy capsicum fajitas
and then some pizza scrolls. 


 I also look forward to this time of year when the blossoms outside my bedroom window come out in full bloom, they are so delicate and springtimey.


 and lastly i made some really yummy Melting moments i got the recipe from here, but it only made ten not the forty it was meant to and i needed to double the icing mixture.. but boy oh boy these where amazing and i am making them again sometime really soon. oh and i put into use an earl birthday present a wilton 2d piping nozzle, it worked really well with this icing but i had tried to use it on Edie's cup cakeis  with not a whole lot of success , i think it really depends on what consistency  the icing is.

TTFN,
Lili xxx

Edie Ps birthday and Catch ups on 365 days of new

Hello poppits,
it's been a rather busy few days and the Fosters HQ hence the lack of posts , therefore we're playing catch ups on 365 days of new.


 In preparation for my birthday next weekend i made up a batch of croissant  dough and made it into lots of yummy things. this was my first time making anything like this and it was pretty darn easy just a bit time consuming and it was so hard not to eat one of these lovelies with them smelling so good fresh out of the oven! 


 Now it's Edies birthday .... as you can see i'm pretty tired looking as i didn't get to bed until some time after 1 am trying to set a few selected presents that had different ideas.  

 by the time breakfast came around we all were in need of it and boy was it yummy.

Mango lassies and french toast with maple syrup and raspberries on home baked bread ( and a little ice cream )




back to open some more presents and have a little bit of a play.



 Lunch:
Homemade raspberry lemonade and chips in brown paper with pesto mayo 



 more playing  and some cute indian headdresses in action 



 Afternoon tea time in the caravan  ! and cakies ( red velvet and raspberry studded vanilla cupcakies with honey buttercream) 


and a foot in the cackies... nice 




And lastly the ice cream cake ! 

well after that sea of pictures we are done and oh boy what a big and fun day it was !


TTFN,
Lili xx
