Friday smile



This is what made me smile this week!
It must be a first for me...
I opened these tiny Christmas cookies - a gift from a friend made by the The Queen of Hearts Cookie Company - they looked so beautifully made, that I decided I couldn't eat any until I had shown everyone how pretty they were.

 Also, Santa brought Maxine some tiny cookie cutters like these so that she can make cookies with Ben when he is big enough. So Max - this is what he will expect them to look like!!!


These hyacinths were only just popping out of the soil during the week before Christmas and now look at them - totally gorgeous and they smell wonderful. I know Annie can't have them in the house because of the perfume but at least she can enjoy them on my blog!
Now, if you want more Friday Smiles - just pop over to Annie's blog - "A stitch in time" - it is her 100th smile post this week.
Have a lovely weekend

    Love those cookies - am going to chase them up because they might just make wonderful wedding favours.

    Oh, and keep those hyacinths away from me too. Can,t abide the smell. Bleugh!

    Happy New Year Twiglet. Those cookies look amazing and I am sure Max will make even better ones!

    I love hyacinths and the ones in the garden smell wonderful but I have a perfume allergy also so probably couldn't have them in the house, although it is not all perfumes. Lavender seems ok for example.

    I have a cold and with my other problems have been slow to get round folks this week.

    Happy New Year to you and yours!
    Love those cookies...they would make me smile too as well as those hyacinths. I am with your sister on the perfume but when I grow them I leave them in the porch as they look soooo pretty. (Forgot this year..oops!)
    Hugs
