Delay

Good morning,

Sorry for the delay but I need to make time for the visitors (no complains here, I am more than glad to show them around!)

I said last Monday that we made soap at home, in case you are wondering we made it based on the recipe my mother learned at a workshop from The Modern Crafters, a store in Alcalá de Henares (Spain). 

The store is really cute, have a look! They sell candles, soap, tea and of course have very interesting workshops.

Picture from their blog.

Here you have the information for the workshops of November, in case you are around:

Saludos,

No top 5 but great weekend

Good evening everybody!

Even with a storm heading our way (in case you haven´t heard we have hard wind today in Holland which is affecting traffic) I am happy to be sharing something sweet from this past weekend. 

I wanted to surprise my family back home because of my birthday and since they love sweets as much as I do (I had to get it from someone, right?) I thought it would be great to send them some cupcakes. So I got in touch with my school friend Maria who is, among other things, a great baker and has this lovely blog El Baúl de Gretel: she helped me pick the flavors and made sure they were delivered on time.

Now my only problem is that I didn´t get to try them myself! but I heard they were delicious as well as pretty, see for yourselves: 

Saludos,

Irene
