a big thank you

The postman delivered a lovely parcel in the post yesterday afternoon.  I was a little puzzled as I couldn't remember ordering anything recently.  Then, I noticed the rosiebulldesigns sticker on the package.  How exciting.

I opened the parcel to find wrapped up in pink tissue paper the beautiful bag I won in Gina's recent giveaway.  I am winging a big thank you to you, Gina.  The bag is truly gorgeous and so beautifully made.


I am so thrilled that if you were here, Gina I would make you one of these.


A very decadent millefeuille pastry from Lorraine Pascale's recipe.  I know you're a fan.

Freestyling as usual, I altered the millefeuille slightly, making a vanilla flavoured cream and using some luscious strawberry jam and a few fresh strawberries between the layers.

So wicked, but what the heck, it's the weekend.

Wishing you all a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend.

    1. Thanks Magie ... the millefeuille are so, so good, but also very, very bad :) ... they're okay for a treat though ... you should give them a go ... they are easy to rustle up ... I found the recipe while thinking what I could do with some leftover puff pastry ... have a lovely weekend ... Bee xx
