A pretty special birthday

 I baked a chocolate cake which didn't really rise

 But it was really rich and chocolatey

 Got given this beauty who has ben christened as Crumpet

 My husband made pizza from scratch

 Fresh flowers on the table

 Ready to celebrate!

Gingham for work?

Amid the Christmas shopping, I haven't been able to resist this...

Black gingham dress from People Tree. Now I just have to decide whether it's office-friendly enough (it looks a bit like I'm going to the prairie).
