High Tea!

Dragonfly Interiors & Lantershop was closed yesterday. I spent the day with some lovely friends enjoying High Tea! We went to a cosy little place on Mt Tamborine Qld called Tea & Niceties, and had such a lovely time! The tea was delicious, and the food incredible.

Look at the cutest little sugar cubes below.

the top two tiers were sweet, and the bottom savoury. The little sandwiches were cut into shapes!

mmmmmmmm :-) I can't wait to visit again! ALL the treats tasted even better than they look here!

Thanks to Ingrid for taking such lovely pics with your fancy camera. Visit her blog if you'd like to see more!
Enjoy the weekend!

Colourful Spanish Wedding

Summer weddings - I love them!
I've posted these pics from a blog stumbled across and really enjoy. Laura has a wedding design and styling business, based in Marbella Spain and has all the pictures from this colourful wedding on her blog. This wedding was held at Guadalmina, Spain!
I was initially drawn to the pictures as they featured the colourful paper lanterns which look great.
The whole wedding is perfectly colour themed, and everything is matched together beautifully as you will see below.
I especially like the really cute cupcakes too.

Spain is such a wonderful place to visit - I'd love to return again soon. I'll add this to my very long 'wish list'.
