Thanks Bono Baby!

I just want to say that I got a sweet surprise in the post from the most gorgeous little man, Bono Baby.  

Little Heartbreaker! 

Look what arrived for me as a gift for participating in a project on Bono's Mom's blog!

Bono Baby know I love the Wizard of Oz! 

pretty packing tape! 

what a wonderful treasure to remind me of the hanger collage I made! 

Thank you Bono Baby! I love it!

add a glass of red and you've got perfection! 

Isn't he just the sweetest little man! 

Love, 

I could resist no longer!

{thanks bake it pretty!}

Do you remember me telling you about a Vintage Button Chocolate Mold? If you don't you can click those words and you'll see the old post about the discovery of the century.
That's right, of the CENTURY!
Since that time I have trawled the foodie shops in search. I even came across a wonderful button cookie cutter online {which will have to come home to me one day.}

How cute!!!!

Well my friends, brace yourself because I've just made a purchase you need to see.

IT'S THE BUTTON CHOCOLATE MOULD!!!!!

After phoning around I found it on ebay.co.uk of all places! So take heart people in the UK! You can have it without the horrible shipping fees! Soon I shall be turning out little chocolate vintage buttons by the truck loads! WOO HOO!

I'm throwing a 1950s style tea party for a friend's birthday next month and thought ickle colorful eatable vintage buttons would be a perfect party favor! {that's my excuse anyway!} I will have to tell you all about the party ideas later! It's going to be so much fun!

I'm gonna have to go check out Bake It Pretty's blog to see if they have any other button related projects and download the gorgeous cards to go with the chocolate buttons!

You can get a downloadable version from the link above!

Check out this other cuteness that will probably make it's way to the tea party table...

Sugar and Meringue also give you a downloadable card!

Kewpie Cake Topper! Our Birthday girl LOVES Kewpies!

 

well...those would be for me! 

My head is buzzing with buttons and all of the gorgeous 1950s decorations and odd recipes! I still have to design the invites...the possibilities are endless! Do I go kitsch? Do I go classic 50s? Oh! I just don't know! Squeeeeeeeee!

I can't wait to tell you about the party ideas but I'd better save that for next time! Something for me to look forward to!

In other news Mr Woo and I are thinking about our costumes for the Haunted Honeys Halloween Burlesque Ball. I haven't even acknowledged Halloween since I was a kid. I can't even remember the last time I dressed up in costume! But since we're going out with friends and it's a special event I'm gonna play along - I'm going to dress up as Dorothy. I already have my ruby slippers {thank you Lindsay!} and my friend Jayne is going to help me make the dress, find a Toto & basket.
Forget Halloween, my new gingham dress and ruby slippers are probably going to become my everyday uniform!

WANTED!

How will I be able to stand so much fabulousness!
