| my lovely anniversary gift |
Strangely it didn't quite fit my finger when hubby gave it to me, but the next day and ever since, it has been a perfect fit.
 |
| odd little biscuits |
These are apparently based on an original French recipe, and are meant to be drunk with champagne. Honestly, they were a bit weird - neither one thing nor the other. Not a biscuit, not a macaron, not a cake. It must be a French thing.
 |
| here's the French champagne to go with... |
My fave champers. It helped wash down the weird French thingies. Our friend the potter came by to share a glass with us. We added another of her works to our collection: a huge and colourful mug. I think you could bath the baby in that one.
 |
| now that's a mug! |
 |
| another sweet little gift from Miss B potter extraordinaire |
 |
| hand-made Polish ceramic angel |
Some mates of ours run an art gallery cum gift shop in Bangalow, down in northern NSW. This is such a cute little village (also where the Hollywood types hang out); you really must get yourselves down there one day folks! One of their artists comes from a family in Poland who have been making these lovely ceramic angels for decades. This one is my kitchen angel. Clearly my cakes will always be perfect from now on. :=)
 |
| yes another wooden spoon |
This one is just to give Fiona from Tiffin Bite Sized Food Adventures a laugh. She knows of my predilection for spoons.
 |
| tea towel showing Harvest café's location |
How can I resist a tea towel? I have a pile of them in my linen cupboard showing lots of places we have been. I may be a mad collector but I do actually use them. No sitting around doing nothing. Dishes and hands WILL be dried on them :=)
So that's it for another month everybody. Join in the fun with our lovely host Maureen from The Orgasmic Chef.
The ring is gorgeous! And it sounds like you were a bigger fan of the champagne than the pink biscuit things :D
