The house was filled with the most gorgeous smell as the cake baked in the oven, could have been due to the generous drop of sherry that went into the mixture!
I was tempted to cut a slice off but Mr Lucey said no and wrapped it up and put it away for christmas, spoilsport!!
Next was the wallpapering in the bathroom.
I was going to get a mirror cut to fit the space above the bath but fell in love with this wallpaper instead its sprig roses from Cath Kidston, I couldn't wait to jump in the bath for a nice soak.
I've also been doing a bit of shopping in Borobridge at my favourite shop Angel & Rose,
Love this storm lantern it reminds me of the waste paper baskets we used to have at school, there were no plastic bins in those days!!
a lovely reindeer covered in sparkly glitter,
I love the colour of this watering can its a dark grey and makes a change as I usually buy everything in cream, bought a few of these tiny trees for the garden and lots of hyacinth bulbs, they look nice in glass jars with moss round them.
I also got this glass dish, they were displayed with sweets in but I think it looks nice with a plant in or you could put a tealight in it.
a couple of watches for tree so we know when its time for santa,
and a little paperback book of hand shadows for a certain little boys stocking!
I'm sure he'll have hours of fun with it.
Before I go this is a picture of a cake stand I saw but a little expensive at £60 so I'm off to the charity shops to look for pretty china to make one!
Bye for now,
Love Lucey xxx

Im making my cake this weekend, I cant wait for the smell. Love the wall paper xx
I did our cake a while ago and every time I unwrap it to pop on a bit more booze, I'm dying to eat some :)
Some lovely buys there. I see things in shops and then think right, how can I make that. I had a look at Christmas decs in the shops this morning and got lots of inspiration. My to do list is getting SO long!!

Hi Lucey,
You sure have been a busy one of late. :) I smell that cake from across the pond, and I wish I could have a taste! Such pretty trinkets you recently purchased, and the bath looks great too.

oo love you wall paper . .i love that pattern its so pretty isnt it..
love all your buys..
the cake stand is very pretty but as you say you could make your own for a lot less..im still trying to figure out how i could actually make one though!!
That Cake looks fabulous! I love your new wallpaper and that cake stand is beautiful, but I imagine very easy to re-create with lots of glue and some lovely bits of china.
