My Place and Yours.....My Collection

Don't you just love it when someone wants to see your collection of special treasures, things that you have accumulated over time, things that you love to look at, to hold, to use, to love, to admire, to be inspired by and of course things that make you smile.

The wonderful theme queen this week Kate wanted a peek at our collections and as Kate mentioned, it's hard to just pick one, so I picked four of my favourite collections for you to have a peek at.
Hope you enjoyed my special treasures, pop by the ever so lovely Pip's for more collections.
Thank you Kate for wanting a peek at my special collection..s!

Have a fabulous Sunday and if you are in Melbourne...a very wet one indeed.

    Oh look at those gorgeous coppery cookie cutters! Aren't they ace?! I think all your collections are really great and I like it that they are things you can actually use - not just dust occasionally! x

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke. I'll leave it open till midnight Saturday the 31st of October and also the end of Blogtoberfest and draw a winner from a hat or bowl or bag and announce it on Sunday...

Honey Jumbles

Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish.

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school.
