Mr and I tried our hands at a gingerbread house, we wanted to make a modern 2 storey but stopped at one to be on the safe side. Although its cute and was entirely demolished on Christmas Eve, I think it looks more like Fred Flintstones house. I also made gingerbread clouds and gingerbread women in bikinis. Christmas Day was all very white and silver at mum's house, with cookie placecards and hydrangeas from her garden. Now to 2011...

The tools of the trade - a second coffee, a butter knife, a bit of patience and there you have a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing fit for a wedding!
Mr and I bought a cardboard tree in Noosa recently and it was just too...brown. So I painted it white and found these amazing porcelain Seletti decorations and used porcelain feathers I already had. Topped it off with a laser cut light et voila. Small but effective, non?
Well, we missed out on the Bronte apartment we put in an application for - accidentally on purpose - amazing view, but no built ins and a kitchen unfit for baking.

My gorgeous friend started up this range of beautiful jewellery with her school friend from the front room of one of their little apartments in Brazil. The quality and style is just so beautiful, I absolutely love these two pieces (especially the tiny skull on the bracelet)...Mr, this message is for you - shop online here and see more of their range here.
