Bridesmaid duties

I've been lucky enough to have been asked to be a bridesmaid at my step brother's wedding! Lucky me! I have been given the duty of finding shoes and shrugs for all the bridesmaids and when searching for such items, I came across this site about having a wedding on a budget.

The author of the site claims her wedding cost £5k which is well below the British average cost of £22k! I'll definitely be keeping this site in mind if I ever get hitched! TN xxx

French toast

Hey there! Yesterday I posted about cheap recipe ideas and thought I'd share something from my sister blog, Nanny S-A. It also links quite nicely to yesterday's tip about what to do with stale bread; you could always make this!

The site where this is posted is called They Draw and Cook, you can find hundreds of beautifully illustrated recipes for all sorts of edible and drinkable delights :-) TN xxx

Cheap recipe ideas

I love cooking as I'm sure you may have guessed from some of the tips I've posted in the past! One of the best sites I use for new ideas or indeed a twist on an old favourite is the BBC Good Food site. They have a wonderful feature entitled Cheap Eat Recipes which I'd like to share with you. YUMMY!

Mmmm... lots to choose from :-) how about spiced glazed pineapple with cinnamon to start?! TN xxx

Recycled storage solution

Hiya folks,

I came across this impressive but also very attractive (especially considering its made from old paper packaging!) basket tutorial and simply had to share it :-) Click here for details.

Doing the same but with old wrapping paper or paper bags instead would make them even more attractive! TN xxx

Alternative photo "frame"

Last year I bought a beautiful driftwood garland for my bathroom wall as I love bringing a bit of nature back into my home. When flicking through various blogs etc, I found THIS which I think will match beautifully. I thought, if  I'm going to put it in my bathroom also, I'd hang my bath poofy things, sponges and clean flannels from it instead.

Happy Monday all :-) TN xxx

Spread the love

Valentine's Day is coming up and even if you're celebrating as a singleton this year (there's nothing wrong with sending cards to the family and friends you love!) why not spread the love with this origami garland?

There's also a multicoloured heart garland tutorial if you fancy it! Just click here :-) You could also make just one of these cute hearts, stick a magnet to it and give it to a loved one to pop on their fridge. TN xxx
