Three Things

I'm cheating a little bit, I'm posting five things on three pictures but never mind. These are some accessories I just had to have for the Jubilee celebrations last month. Aren't they all adorable?

The key rings and the Union Jack heart pin are from Accessorize (which is now available in our capital, yay!). Very British (although, sadly, most probably made in China...).

I made the above necklace myself, from bits and bobs I found in my little treasure chest :)

Last but not least, as always, a gorgeous purse from Cath Kidston. Love at first sight, as you can well imagine  - florals, mother-of-pearl buttons, Union Jack - what's not to love?

Long live the Queen!

Jubilee Cake

So, after the concert we had a party. It wasn't a celebration of Her Majesty's Jubilee, obviously - as I'm basically the only Royalist in the group :) - we had a little celebration before we parted for the summer. But I couldn't resist...

We had a fabulous time, with lots of yummy food and spontaneous singing. I'm grateful to have a bunch of friends like these. See you in September!

P.S.: The cake is an easy-peasy one-mix chocolate sponge sandwiched with whipped cream which is sweetened with apricot jam. Delicious!
