Christmas Hampers

 So I know I've totally missed the boat for sharing christmas things at an appropriate time but I thought I'd share them anyway. To save a bit of money this past christmas as we were saving to buy a house we decided to make most of our christmas presents and turn them into a hamper.

 Some homemade limoncello that sat brewing for weeks making our kitchen smell amazing!
Homemade coconut ice, had to make a spare batch for us to taste test of course!
 
 Snowmen and christmas pudding 3d cards for everyone.

 One bagged and tagged hamper ready to go. 
It contained:
  • Homemade limoncello
  • Homemade coconut ice
  • Homemade rosemary shortbread
  • Homemade chocolate honeycomb truffles
Apparently next year I need to include a christmas pudding in each hamper as we didn't this year but our family tried one I made and it went down a treat!

Ladies Night Stall

So a few weeks ago I did a stall at a Ladies Pamper Night at a local preschool fundraising event. Thought I'd share a few photos of how my stall looked.
  Managed to get myself quite a few useful props as well to make the table a little more interesting... the glass top jewellery box and the vinyl record display stands I used for the sweets.
 
 The sign made by the guys at work came back out again and I even whipped up a quick 'find me on facebook' poster to hang from the front of the stand as my business cards were made before I started the facebook page.
 The most popular item by far had to be the homemade chocolate truffles and coconut ice.. they went down a storm and the display stands got quite a few compliments too... well impressed that my £3 make was so well received... not bad for some charity shop vinyl records and end of line candle holders!
