I love the dress Maddy. Perfect for Fiji. I can't wait to hear more about your candle venture.

Maybe the candles are going to be cup-cake candles  ;) 

Thats what I was thinking too! Really cute Maddy. Cake without the calories...

I must have missed this book but after seeing Katie's lovely meal I went hunting….. and have ordered this today.  Am quite surprised that there aren't more reviews so far seeing it was released last year.  :o

You will love the book Julie.  Everything we tasted at his cooking class was lovely.

I bought the book last year, but yesterday was the first time I've used it.  Too many cookbooks and not enough hours in the day or meal times is my problem  ;D

Do you have his first book?  If so, the coconut cake is delicious.

I found a parcel pickup notice in my letterbox today, dated from over a week ago (don't judge me, there's yucky spider webs in there and it was buried under a couple of takeaway pamphlets).

Deedub, we always had problems with the letter box at our previous house.  It was always full of snails which ate our letters and no amount of snail bait could fix the problem.  I always got strange looks and comments when paying a bill at the PO. I often wonder how the new owners are managing. :D

Maddy that dress is goreous and will be ideal for a wedding.  The boxes are cute too.  Look forward to seeing how you use them.

I went to Dymocks this morning. Some lovely folks had given me a Dymocks voucher, so I spent some of it on these. I love Katherine Howell's books and I'm a sucker for Bread books that appeal to me.

Katie, yes I do and I must get it out and have another look (esp at the coconut cake)  ;D

I'm like you, have so many cookbooks and get pulled in diff directions all the time.  Would make it much simpler if I didn't (have as many that is)  :D

Nice buys Cookie.  :)
