Mr. Wick's Candy shop.

Since I have been updating and sorting out my shop I have not been blogging very much and so I forgot to finish off telling you all about my sister's new shop she has opened. I showed you the design and I hope you were excited about it because now Mr. Wick is open for business on Folksy and selling all sorts of fabulously scented candles in vintage tins, glass, teacups etc.

At the moment she has a few for sale that are scented with bubblegum, candy floss and banana. They are so yummy you feel like tasting them and she has been seeking out some of the best vintage tins. She uses a soy wax which is really nice and soft and melts at lower temperature so you can reuse all the vessels as the wax is easy to clean and doesn't leave a smokey mess and also you can use the wax to moisturize your skin. She made some little soy melts which you can use in a oil burner to let off the scent or as a mini, travel moisturizer (that's how we have been using them!).

Here are a selection of her range on sale, but I must warn you that as they are vintage cups and tins they are limited edition and so when they're gone they're gone!

You can find her shop here.

Too old for cake?

It's the BF's birthday today at a very dandy age of just 23. We haven't really got up to much, he's been full of cold so just stayed in to watch the very intense tennis.

The BF's parents are a tad old fashioned, but this can be good and I soon found out after they regularly enjoy a good old English tea time. His mum often bakes, some good, some clearly an experiment but never the less all exciting. On birthdays she really goes all out baking and bakes a birthday cake, maybe two! I've had some amazing ones from her also.


I always think, that no matter how old you are a birthday cake and some refreshing tea is probably the bit you look forward to most. Infact I do think the desire for cake just blooms with age!
