Lovely Desserts For A Lovely Mother

I've already bought my darling mother a mother's day gift, since I dislike putting stuff like that off till the last minuet, but I came across these deliciously charming desserts on  Marion's Vintage Bakery. My mom does not have a sweet tooth, but I doubt she could resist appreciating how pretty these Mother's Day Petite fours are.
I wish I could make treats like this, but I have a frightful habit of setting my mom's kitchen on fire everytime I'm in it. I think with desserts as lovely as these, my mother would overlook her smoking kitchen

Thanks for stopping by,
Ta for now lovelies

Love getting real mail? Try Postcrossing

A month ago, I signed up for a postcard exchange program provided by postcrossing.com. You can check out the website for more information, but this is the jist of how it works:
1. Sign up for an account (which is free)
2. Create a profile which includes your address and a little about yourself, including the types of postcards you like.
3. Mail your first postcard, and when a user registers the postcard number, you are then the next person to get a postcard.
4. Receive and register your own postcard.

For those wondering, these are real postcards. You can find postcards in dollar stores, post offices, or souvenir shops to send.

The site has hundreds of thousands of users, which makes it more fun, as a postcard can come from anyone in the world. I also like that the site encourages postcards rather than letters. Writing a letter to a stranger can be a little intimidating. You just don't know what to say. But a postcard offers a small space to say a little about you, like your hobbies. The task seems easier, since sometimes just putting your favorite quote is enough. And of course, it's fun to look at the different pictures of places and things around the world.

Last week, I received my first postcard from a site user :D
It was from a lovely lady named Eva, who lives and plays the violin in Budapest. Eva and I have one thing in common: we both love resting, when we are not busy. I think the card she sent is perfect. It gives me a chance to see where she lives. 

Oops, these aren't for eating

I mistook these for real cookies, but they're actually magnets. These tasty looking handmade cuties are from Scrumptious Doodle, an etsy shop that specializes in handmade minature food jewlery. These look good enough to eat, but I'm kind of glad they aren't because that means I can enjoy just looking at them.

So cute but too tight

Not long ago, I bought a pair of kitten heel shoes from Alieexpress.com. I loved them the second I saw them, but my feet didn't. They are a little too tight. Sadly, I have to give them away. I wish they would have worked out because they easily go with everything. They would have been comfy, if not for the size and they are so easy to walk in. They have a cute little heart on them to add to the shoes personality. That's the chance one takes when buying online, but I do recommend them for those with shoe sizes smaller than 8.5.

The trials of Tiffany Trott

I started reading this book while in the hospital and it turned out to be a humours destraction from my ailment. It's a bit like Bridget Jones' Diary (if you've ever read/seen it you'll know what I mean) and loaded with british humour. While it's not the most deep or provoking book, it's a good light read for the girly girl. Tiffany Trott is your typical London career woman, looking to settle down, and having very little luck at it. The author has a way of bringing all the characters to life to the point where I could recognize some of them in my own life. From her bad breathed dates, to her single friends who try to help, everyone seems alive as if they stepped out of the book and conversing with directly. It's a good book for a lazy sunday afternoon.

Red Embossed Heart Leather Journal - Lined


I have a red hardcover journal that I bought from a dollar store. It is different from this one, and I do love writing in it. But oh la la, look at how cute this journal is. It's so simple, and yet it looks as if it's calling out to someone to write some beautiful thoughts in it.

Lindt Gold Bunny Chocolates




The day after Easter, my mom bought this box of chocolates. I'm not chocolate fan, but the packaging of this box screams spring! It looks so vintage and sweet. I haven't seen a box of chocolate this cute in a long time. Even the flower, egg, and bunny shaped chocolate are adorable.

Pastel Rainbow Kawaii Kitty Kindle Cover

I don't own a kindle fire, but this cover is just about the cutest cover I've seen. One could use it to carry other items such as a small book, but even just to look at puts a smile on my face. I especially love that it's rainbow. This kawaii kity cover comes from an etsy store called Sugar Junkie Shop, which offers a colorful array of cute handmade items, from bright colored hair bows, to knitted cake rings.
