Finding joy in the everyday

Source: http://www.thetomkatstudio.com/2012/04/polkadotbakingcups What a brilliant idea — serving little cakes in tea cups for afternoon tea.  Delicate, feminine and very pretty  I love this idea.  What do you think? I love anything pretty and girly so I just love these ideas.  How many people have old fashion tea-cups they never use (me) included collecting dust in the cupboard and they don't know what to do with them. Here are a few ideas from Pinterest that I found that would be perfect for an afternoon tea.  If you didn't want to put food in these cups, why not use them as a centrepiece on your table. Aren't these so pretty? Thanks Pinterest for the great ideas

What do you think of this great idea (thanks Bets) — since reading this, I have made a real effort to wear things I don't usually wear and its been like wearing new clothes with some items!!!  It has a very trendy name — its called "Shopping your wardrobe/closet" and I did a little of it last year and it was fun!!! I wore combinations I wouldn't usually wear or added accessories to make the outfit look different.  Would love to hear any great ideas from you that I can share with others. 

One thing I love about blogland is the ideas you can gather from other ladies. After visiting " The Modest Mum Blog " and reading about a great way to store scarves (the original idea came from Pinterest), I thought I would give it a go as I am tired of my scarves getting creased all the time and not being able to find one quickly.  I already had a portable towel rack (the sort that hangs over a door which I bought from Howard's Storage World) so it was quite easy to do. My rack has three rails, I only used 2. I was surprised at how many scarves I could squeeze on one rail. At the moment it is on my study door and what great colours to look at!! If you don't have a towel rail like this one, you can use a towel rail that you can buy from the hardware store. You can buy the sort that self adhered or screw the rail to the inside of the door.  From now on I won't have any problems finding a scarf and will quickly find what I need in the morning wit...
