The Christmas Table Display...


This years Christmas tabletop display is red, white with a tablecloth of Christmas patterned blue.
In the centre of the table is a white gorgeously scented candle in a glass container. 
Red painted wooden baubles (a pre-made garland from the Ezibuy Christmas range) surround this on the platter...
I love Christmas quirkiness,
 so these matches with a deer design on the box are a perfect addition for candle lighting.
I found them at a local Whakatane gift store.

Behind the platter sits the shabby pot with the stitched Christmas decorations. 
(To find out how to make these visit: stitched card christmas ornaments)
I added a few....
OK - I added 'A LOT' of red and white candy canes.
Candy canes are perfect for pre-Christmas day snacking.
My grandson taught me this!
A wrap of tulle in white pretties up the shabby white pot.
A blackboard reindeer cut-out finishes the display!
 What fun to change the message week by week...
Last week it said 'Santa's Coming!'
 I love that little gingham bow on the reindeer's neck!
I hope you are inspired to put a little bit of Christmas on your dining table too.

The Dahlia Birthday Cake...

We are deviating a little from Christmas as it really was a case of
 "How could I not share with you the most gorgeous cake"?
Made as a surprise for my recent 'Big Event' birthday
by Cake Works
I am in total awe at the work involved in creating this AMAZING dahlia flower 
- made from icing!
Stunning and gorgeous, in one of my favourite colours.
What a wonderful surprise organised by my beautiful daughter!
