Molly's pony party...

... is not until March NEXT YEAR but she talks about it daily, often a couple of times a day! Not helped with her current obsession with all things horse related. So when I saw that Ikea had some horse-shaped cake tins I was in like Flinn. We had a ball this afternoon wearing our Little Spunky Monkey christmas aprons for the first time as well as baking not one but TWO pony cakes- yes it is a horse and her foal set ha ha ha...

So I think we are stuck with the strawberry flavoured pony cake with pink icing for Molly's pony party (yes, she has even picked out her cake flavour and icing colour). Watch this space...

What better way to celebrate Cup Day...

that with buying a new hobby horse.
Molly is OBSESSED with all things horses at the moment and is permanently attached to her hobby horse at home.
I have been thinking about for ages getting her a new one for Christmas and today spurred me on, being Melbourne Cup and all of that!
I have been eyeing off the Calamity Bold horses for months- they are just the most divine horses ever. The fabrics used are delightful...

For houses with no chinmeys...

Isnt this the coolest thing ever? A personalised key for Father Christmas to use so he can get into your house on Christmas night!

I can remember being a child an wondering “how does Santa come inside?” We didn’t have a chimney. We had a creaky backdoor. So what was his trick? Let your little ones know that you have it under control. You and Santa have worked out a little plan. You have left Santa his own special Key to your house, hanging on the door knob (or on the Christmas tree), so  that he can come inside to work his magic. 

You can buy them from Palomas Nest here
