Tea time… Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Tom put fairy lights behind his bus blind and it looks even more amazing than it did before – he can be so crafty sometimes!

My parents came down to visit today so I took them to my favorite new lunch spot, Gail’s Bread in Queen’s Park.

They make the most amazing inside out chocolate chip cookies, which have melty white chocolate chips. We really need to get them to share recipes on CO+K.

There’s a really good bookstore in Queen’s Park with a big comic book section. They had Dame Darcy’s Meatcake comic, so I was impressed!

I bought some mini purple moleskins to carry around in my bag because they’re as light as a feather.

On the subject of feathers, we went back to the petting zoo, where they have chickens that are so fluffy and look like the inside of Ugg boots.

There were two really cute rabbits who’s ears would flop around and get stuck sticking up.

We headed in to town afterwards to do a bit of shopping at Wholefoods and went to the amazing Camellia tearoom in Kingly Court.

They have so many flavours of tea and you get to smell them all before picking which one you like best. They had teas to help with everything from tummy cramps and sleeping problems to sore throats and making your skin beautiful!

On the way home I spotted this window display on Oxford Street. I’ve been wanting to take polaroids for my shoe boxes for a while and this gave me an idea for a super easy way to do it, so more on that soon…

A heavenly day at Ladurée…. Friday, January 22nd, 2010

My Dad gave me a voucher for Christmas to go and have as many macaroons as I could eat. My parents have been down visiting for the past week, so we headed along to Harrods today to have some at Ladurée.

I had a pistachio milkshake and my Dad ordered  hot chocolate which was literally thick chocolate melted into a liquid. Tom ordered a tasty praline cake.

We got a big box of macaroons to share. My favourites were the praline, black liquorice, chestnut, salted caramel and pistachio flavours.

No sleep tonight – we’re flying to the Canary Islands early tomorrow morning, so I have to leave for the airport in a few hours. I added my Kitty hooded scarf pattern to CO+K incase anyone wants to knit one too…
