Strawberry Champagne by Jamie Oliver

I love entertaining our friends at home and now that the summer is finally here I've started looking for some new, exciting and preferably simple recipes. Prosecco is one of my favourite summer drinks so I was very excited to find this recipe from Jamie Oliver! I can't wait to try it with my girlfriends:)



Ingredients


• a leaf of fresh mint
• 3 large handfuls of strawberries, preferably wild ones, hulled, washed and drained
• a bottle of bubbly, such as Prosecco or Champagne



This is the simplest recipe in the world and possibly one of the best Champagne cocktails I’ve ever tasted. A great way to start a summer dinner or party.Place the mint leaf and the strawberries in a sieve. Push the strawberries through the sieve into a bowl, using the back of a spoon. (You’re not really after the pulp, just the juice.) Chill until you are ready to serve your drinks.Divide the strawberry purée between six Champagne glasses, carefully fill with bubbly and enjoy!

Weekend Finds

This weekend me and my hubby were looking to buy some interesting pieces for our new lounge. Although we are going for the contemporary look we still wanted to incorporate some unconventional pieces of  furniture that would give some authenticity to our house. So this is what we found.
Side table/ chair

 Table (3 pieces: small, medium, large)

And the most important and exciting find is this "day bed" from Bali which is perfect for our garden (still needs a new mattress and pillows). Although it is still in the process of restoration as it only got here a few days from Indonesia we just couldn't resist it:)))

Beautiful Packaging

This weekend I  have finished another exciting order for a baby shower stationery. Inspired by this warm spirng weather in Joburg I have decided to create some colorful and fun packaging for the personalised chocolates and labels. So I used some boxes with Love imagery, bright blue and silver ribbons and personalised stickers. This is what I came up with:)

Parma Ham Snacks

I just found this photo on the Internet and it made me sooo hungry. I love parma ham (I can almost smell it)and use it quite often for various snacks. I thought these small and delicious sandwiches/tramezzinis are such a  great idea for entertaining.


What you will need is: toasted white bread, parma ham, tomatoes, parmesan, mozarella and some oregano. Simple but so tasty!

Baby Shower Games

Presents, decorations, cake and well wishes are all part of the baby shower celebration but don't forget the games too! Bingo game is great while opening the presents and smelly diaper game will make your guests laugh:) I have designed and printed all the game cards accroding to the baby shower theme. At the end of the games, ask your guests to write a wish or advice for the mommy to be:)

Pink and Silver Baby Shower Ideas

This weekend I have started thinking about the Pink & Silver baby shower stationery. I think this color scheme is so elegant and classy! I've already got my ribbons:)


Bellow is some inspiration I have found on the Internet.


Lovely Weekend Finds

As SPRING has finally arrived to South Africa and most of the shops have changed their winter collections to spring/summer (finally) I went to see what's out there:) More specifically I was  looking for comfortable  flat shoes for my upcoming holiday to Italy BUT...instead I did what most of us women do (completely irrational)...bought something that I completely didn't need at this moment - another pair of high heels from Country Road. I just loved loved loved this neutral color and their classic look...so how could I resist? Comfortable shoes will have to wait as no women can have enough high heels in their cupboard:)))) Are you  spur-of-the-moment shopper?


Another cute find was this white paper holder from Big Blue.
