Fresh Look Friday: Jubilee Special

If the sight of red, white and blue is making you sick, then why not join in the celebrations with this girly twist on the Union Jack.

This apron rocks the shabby chic look and would be perfect to keep your tea party dress clean while you’re baking and serving your treats.
Just £16 from Accessorize, the colours and pattern are patriotic enough for a Jubilee celebration, but versatile enough to be used for years to come. For me the butterflies add a real summery twist, and I love the polka-dotted edging.

Best of all? This is just one part of a huge range of accessories, so if you love matching as much as I do, why not get the oven gloves as well?

I don’t know if you’ve heard…

…but it’s the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee next weekend.

I’ve been incredibly excited for this all year, not just because I think the Queen is ace, but because it’s the prefect excuse to have a fabulous garden tea party.

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting a ‘Jubilee Special’ series of hints and tips for a stunning garden tea party.
We just have to keep our fingers crossed for the weather! 

Fresh Look Friday

While strictly speaking this has nothing to do with baking, the tea cup set used in the jewellery stand were too pretty to not showcase.

Available from Not On The Highstreet, this showcases an innovative way of displaying your jewellery for the fashion savvy.

There is also a plain set available, both priced at £35, but even if you don’t go for it, there’s now no need to throw out those old tea cups, they’ve got a whole new world of use left in them!
