Biscuit cushions


A lot of biscuits get eaten in our house. With three "forever hungry" little boys and a mummy who can't have a cup of tea without something to go with it, a packet usually doesn't last longer than a day. With custard creams being the current favourite, I was delighted to find this adorable cushion by Nikki McWilliams.  Nikki's other designs included Bourbons, Digestives and Malted Milks and would look fabulous together on a playroom sofa.

The most gorgeous party dresses


Most of the time I am delighted that I only had boys, however after flicking through the latest ilovegorgeous catalogue, I was longing for a little girl to buy one of these party dresses for.
