Getting Cosy!

I have to say, I'm really tempted to treat myself to one of these pretty and padded Kindle cosies. Not only are they appliqued and embrridered with the cutest strawberry cupcakes but they also have little sequiny and beady sprinkles! What more could a cupcakey girl wish for??

Designed and handmade by The Apple Cottage company, these little pretties are available from Not on the High Street, priced at £21.00 + p&p.

Bake Me A Cake!

I have to admit to having a bit of a soft spot for cushions. In fact I probably own enough of them to start up my own cushion shop... if only I could bear to part with them!  And just look what I found this week... a cuter than cute cupcake cushion from those amazing people at Two Little Birdies. Nor sure how long I can resist!  Available from Not on the High Street, for £20.00 + p&p.  And that even included a luxury feather-filled cushion pad!

It's Raining Cupcakes!

I don't know what the weather is like where you are but it's raining cats and dogs here, definitely wellie weather!

So I did a quick search and just look what I found... the cutest cupcake wellies!  Suddenly the idea of having to go out in the rain doesn't seem half as bad!  Available from Amazon priced from £16.99 + p&p.

Strawberry Cupcake

The latest cupcakey item to go on my 'must have' list is this gorgeous Strawberry Cupcake vintage/shabby chic cushion designed by Vintage Style Home.  I love everything about it, especially how the cupcake seems to be framed by the pretty full blown roses.  The faded vintage pastel shades remind me of some of Martin Wiscombe's retro designs, which I also love, so it's no real surprise that I'm smitten! Available from Etsy for £6.99 + p&p.

And if, like me, you think that a cupcake is enjoyed best with a cup of tea then this Rose Teacup cushion is the perfect accompaniment!  Also available from Etsy for £6.99 + p&p.

I have to admit to being just a little bit in love with this!  Designed by Chic Baby Rose, this fabulous Cupcake Princess necklace features a lead-free, rhodium-plated pink frosted cupcake complete with sparkly (a girl can never have too much sparkly!) Czech crystals and a rhinestone crown, and is finished off with the sweetest hand-dyed pink ribbon bow.   Available from Etsy for the unbelievable price of only $16.00 USD (c£10.19 GBP) plus delivery, but there is only 1 available so you'll need to be quick!
