4 Friday Folksy Finds

A little late in the day but here are four more wonderful finds from the creative folks on Folksy
It's been a another beautiful baking hot day so naturally my thoughts turn to lazy days in the garden and camping trips by the seaside....
This would be the perfect accessory for that campervan I dream about,

Honey Oat Cakes...

...may well be my favourite coffee break treat. I made a few this morning the children have snaffled a few already and I've heard Himself creeping across the kitchen tiles a couple of times too.

Here's the recipe if you fancy giving them a try
110g (4oz) butter
50g (2oz) soft light brown sugar
1 beaten egg
6 tbsp runny clear honey
110g (4oz) self raising flour
225g (8oz) rolled oats
pre-heat the oven to 160c
Cream together the butter, sugar and honey, the recipe says until light and fluffy but don't knock yourself out.
Beat in the egg with a little of the flour.
Stir in the remaining flour and the oats.
roll the mixture into balls and space them out on baking paper on 2 baking sheets.
Using your fingers lightly press down the balls.
Bake for about 20 mins or until golden.

With two such healthy ingredients it would be wrong not to try these!
On a completely different note we visited Towneley Hall the other day. It has a wonderful stately home that the children insist on calling a castle. They were running around the gardens at the back of the 'castle' when my daughter looked up at the window and said - right in front of a huge tour party -
"Ahh Mummy look, I can see the Princess' bum!" Much sniggering all round:)

Friday Folksy Finds

It's been a while, I promise I have been busy! I have some new work in the pipeline, potentially a couple of events to get ready for (still in the planning stages)and I have been making work for a couple of new wholesale customers:)
But on to today.
I want to make this a regular feature. I really like Folksy, the layout looks good, it's fairly easy to use and most importantly there are lots of wonderful things to buy!
These caught my eye today :
