Happy Birthday Banners

Alongside all my personalised felt name banners, I also make Happy Birthday banners (and Christmas ones too - but it's too early for that yet!!). I love the idea of having a long lasting, reusable banner that can come out again and again for everyone's birthday, and replaces all the terrible single use banners you find in party shops.

The original one I made was in yellow and grey (surprise surprise), but I've since made a range of custom ones to suit other people's tastes too!

Here are some photos...

Which is your favourite? And which colours should I make next??

Coastal Cabins - A Weekend in Devon

We've just got back from a long weekend in Devon, staying at the fabulous Coastal Cabins in Hartland, near Bideford which were gorgeous, and so luxurious! We went for a friends 30th, and it was such a perfect location. I just love being outside all the time (even if it is cold and raining!) and especially walking along the coast paths and being by the sea.

Here are some photos from the stay:

Waking up to this skylight was fabulous!!

I organised team fancy dress for the Saturday night and everyone put in such a great effort!

The beautiful Clovelly harbour!

Happy 30th to me!

Thankfully, I don't look or act my age, so everyone seems quite surprised when I said that I was going to be 30!

I love birthdays, I just love the excitement, and celebrations, and especially the cake. Even if it's not my birthday, I still get so excited for all the celebrations and fun!

So I was very excited when I had the day off for my 30th, and so did one of my best friends, and so we had a lot of fun!

It started with my boyfriend baking me a cake!!! This is one of his first cakes as he is not a fan of most sorts of cooking, and so I was so impressed!!

We started very classy, by going to yoga at our local gym, and then went to the amazing Oxygen trampolining land, that has recently opened in Acton! http://oxygenfreejumping.co.uk/

It was AMAZING!!!! As we went first thing in the morning, on a weekday, it was almost empty so we had the whole run of the place and it was just incredible!! We bounced and bounced and bounced and jumped into the pits until we were completely worn out!!

Then we cycled home, got showered and dressed up and went for afternoon tea! That was fabulous, we went to the Marriott Hotel right on the river in London and so had a fabulous view of Big Ben and the river. 

The we decided to walk off our prosecco, and inadvertently ended up walking 10 miles!! All the way back along the river, until we got back to Hammersmith in time for dinner!!

All in all a fabulous day!! I am so happy!!
