shopping time; cake tins

Oh oh how I adore vintage cake tins. Actually I have thing for round boxes, so hatboxes and cake tins are my thing. It’s very hard to find these in good condition, which is I believe very important if you will use them in kitchen. So I spent some time window-shopping online to find the new ones that are vintage inspired. Cake tins are really smart little things, not just practical for the storage of sweets but for many other things. If you ask me I would have a house full of cake tins. Oh that would be a lovely house.

So what I’ve found online;

1. This Is Pretty cake tins in regency style £16.80, here

2. Brompton Rose cake tins £24.00, here

3. Scarlet Bakes tins £22, here

4. Sweets, biscuits, cakes cake tins £12.95, here

5. Fairy Cakes, Eggs and Jelly Cake Tins £23.99, here

Friendship of pale pink and black

It was the colour combination that Luella Bartley couldn’t resist so among the lovely shopping bags few times sneaked in catwalk look in this colour combination. And was always pretty. It’s the colour combination perfect for the cardigans; a black trim gives the grown-up vibe to girls that want to dress like cupcakes. Milly satin-trimmed cardigan is just like that, so is Orla Kiely two-toned cardigan from autumn collection. Blush and black is colour combination that Karl Lagerfeld recognizes as the friend for Chanel’s black and white. Especially in couture when creates a dream with charming black contrast. Do you remember Chanel’s double strap Mary Janes with just a bit of black? I almost bought similar version at Asos, but every time I saw refined Chanel satin around Alexa Chung’s toes of I gave up. Pale pink would be perfect colour for the walls and black oval frames. And polka dots or hearts…you almost hear them sing when on the light shade of pink. Blouses can be also devoted to this friendship… with or without a detail, and with a good pair of black skinny jeans on legs. And this combination is easy for DIYs… just imagination and satin ribbons are what you need. These tender pastel tones are kissing the dark like in dream…

Oh those plans

I had planned to publish this post just after the New Year’s Eve but somehow it was lost between the holiday’s overtiredness and thrill for upcoming year. Also is possible that misslikey is just like a boy and had lost ability to do multiple things at the moment. Maybe that characteristic comes with years or it’s just a passing thunderstorm. However, I wanted to describe what I was doing for holidays. Before the clock ticked twelve on December 25th I spent hours and days sitting at my working table. Half of the time I was listening to the noise that my sewing machine was producing and the rest of the time I was splashed in acrylic paint and glue. Reason for that was the decision to start my little business with the things I make. I came with the name and start selling. I don’t know if it was because of the charming name; The Little Cloth Girl or because of the products, but people actually were buying my little crafts. So it made me happy and I was thankful that Little Cloth Girl’s Christmas balls with tulle, flowers and bows and linen bags were décor on many trees. My boyfriend also drew handsome illustrations that I used for cute labels and holiday cards. So after the midnight on December 25th half blinded, I decided to take a little break before the new plans with The Little Cloth Girl. I was watching French movies, playing hostess, ate strawberry jelly cheese hearts and muffins with cinnamon, apples and almonds. I realized that the cupcakes with chocolate, chili and pepper and warm wine are really able to erase every melancholic feeling. What also made me happy was a royal carriage clock from 1940s and vintage tobacco boxes that my boyfriend found in his basement. I didn’t make New Year’s resolutions cause I don’t believe anymore in years but the days. These days I am picking new fabrics and creating samples for my Etsy store that’s going to be open soon.

Also I planned to say that I am wishing you a Happy New Year...
