The postie has been busy in these parts over the last couple of days... he has delivered two lovely parcels both of them addressed to me! Yay! Want to see why I did a happy dance when I received them? Dumb question. Of course you do!

My kitchen will be certainly be alot brighter with the vintage goodies I received from Tammi at little poppa as part of Stella's Vintage Kitchen Swap. Here's the parcel of loveliness she put together for me


inside were two fabulous vintage tea towels to add to my collection, a Pyrex casserole dish and the most beautiful Dottie Angel inspired apron Tammi made especially for me from vintage fabric all by herself! (you've done Dottie proud Tammi) The apron is so special it deserves its own pic

blue sky and the most gorgeous apron (ever!)

It was a lovely swap, thanks Tammi x.

Btw Stella is also having the most amazing give-away to celebrate her blog's 2nd birthday at the mo...you can win 
100 (yep, that's ONE HUNDRED!) customised postcards. Stella will design them specially for the lucky winner. Fingers-crossed it's me, but it could be you...just click here to enter.

My other parcel was my give-away prize from Laura...she's determined to get us all cooking and look, she succeeded...

baking bits from Laura, lemon curd and cream butterfly cakes...yours truly.

Laura's prize came all wrapped up in a vintage pillowcase with the prettiest card, from the 70's I think...


And while I'm on a food bent you really should try Ingrid's Laksa it is soooo easy and soooo yummy. This is what mine looked like

Annabel would like it for dinner again tonight!

    Aww Kylie, you've made me all hungry now, and I'm all but eating over the sink to avoid crumbs at the moment! (Someone coming round for a viewing in a few minutes). Those cakes look lovely, and your staging is worthy of a proper cook book.

    What a fab idea for a swap as well - I can just see you in your gorgeous apron x

    Now I have a rumbly tummy in the style of Winnie the Pooh! I may have to get out my baking bits this afternoon to satisfy it, those butterfly buns look divine! :-)

    What gorgeous gifts, Kylie! All so beautiful and thoughtfully chosen and you know what? They're very well deserved!! :-)

    Oh you lucky duck! What wonderful parcels! I have three trees full of lemons and you have reminded me that I should make lemon curd...but I am not sure if it keeps?
    Did you get my long email? I am writing heaps of emails lately, and getting no replies. Either my stuffed internet if more stuffed than I think or...I cannot bear to think that EVERYONE is ignoring me!

    LAKSA!!! Have you been to Singapore? You have got to try the 'penang laksa' in the Katong area! It'll be the best bowl of laksa you'll ever have (beside yours of course)!!
