Yummy Paper Goods

I have been adding lots of yummy paper goods to the sweet style store with lots of lovely new products arriving each week.

We now stock everything from favour and treat boxes to ribbon, twine and tags to cups, plates and cutlery.

These perfect candy/baking cups would look great at any party - use them for treats or use them to bake in. Ice cream would be great as well!

Teamed with the cupcake/candy favour box they can be used to take home either a cupcake or some candy.

The very stylish chevron tote boxes also arrived in the store this week - great colours to choose from and they are the perfect size for treats or cupcakes

Outdoor celebrations have never looked better with all the wonderful products that are now available - these meal boxes are great for a party in the park and paper straws continue to be popular, making the simplest of drinks look very cool indeed.

I would love to know what your favourite paper products are from the store - leave a message here on the blog or on my facebook page to let me know what you like the best and if there is something you would love to see!

Happy Shopping!

another week..

Happy Monday. All the sudden, I'm 36 weeks/ 9 months preggo and I am tired. Pregnancy seems to be finally taking a toll on me. I feel huge and I'm definitely waddling more! Hubby had to help push me up in bed in the middle of the night just so I could waddle myself to the bathroom. 'Oh the joys of pregnancy.' We both laughed as I was laid like a turtle on my back saying "I can't get up!" Ahh, four more weeks (yes, Addison please come out in four weeks!) until we meet her!! This weeks task is to get my hospital bag started.
No pictures of big girl this week, I'm too lazy. Plus I should have some maternity photos soon!
I have a few more photo sessions over the next two weeks and then I will be on 'baby break'! As much as I'm loving doing shoots, moving around a lot and fast isn't so easy anymore! :)

And for a random picture...

where to start?

sometimes quiet contemplation, other times quite overwhelming.

Too hot, too cold

I was out at the pub the other night and they had the heater inside cranked up to 40 degrees and a fire going. Man, it was stifling in there. A couple of us elected to take our chances in the garden.

Outside it was freezing, despite the outdoor heaters and the warmth from a hundred lit-ciggies. But I was much happier there than being closeted inside a too-warm room.

I much prefer to be too cold than too hot.*

How about you?

Embroidery hoop wall art

Don't you just love embroidery hoop wall art? So pretty, unique and so many different options. I am desperate to do this in my house but can't decide whether I should do it up the wall of my stairs, in my living room, in my craft room or all three! I have ordered a bunch of hoops in different sizes to play around with some ideas. I love the idea of using some of my bright pops of colour fabrics against my fresh aqua painted wall in my craft room or heavily embellishing some textural neutrals for my lounge. Can't wait to start playing!

Have a sweet day!
