Crochet Blankets from Little Indigo

Crocheting is definitely not on my list of skills (nor my mothers for that matter). For those of you that are in the same boat as me - you can always get one of these gorgeous "and the little dog laughed" crochet blankets from Little Indigo. Measuring 90 cm x 90 cm they are perfect for cots, prams or bed throws - and at only $65 each - they are perfect for that newborn present.

Little Indigo have so many other lovelies in store - check them all out here

Blog Lovin: Sweet Style by Mrs A in the Cove - Seriously People!

It's been a while since i have done a Blog Lovin post.....
Do you follow Sweet Style by Mrs A in the Cove's blog - if not YOU SHOULD! Leanne styles the most amazing parties and specialises in dessert and candy buffet styling. Her photos are amazing and so full of inspiration and ideas. I mean seriously!

(Cake in the last photo by Jacki from Blissfully Sweet Cakes)

And do you spy those gorgeous personalised gelato spoons in the second last photo - Leanne is now taking orders for these custom stamps- check out all the details here

Beautiful displays and styling aside though, what i love most is how down to earth Leanne is (and this is not to butter her up because she is coming to morning tea at my place next week!) - she is a wife, mum and loves what she does.

Be sure to check her out on her blog, facebook and twitter

Thanks for making me blog happy Leanne.
