Hello Girls, I'm up in the attic cupcaking this afternoon.
Although I think I should maybe spend a few minutes tidying! Nah! Life's too short for that.
***
.
Would you like to see the old kitchen larder cupboard that we rescued from the roadside?
.
Yes?
.
I've finished painting it now and hubby bravely fought his way into the shed at the weekend and dug out the counter top for it.
TADAA!
.
I am sooooo pleased with this cupboard. I paid £20 for it and we've probably spent another £30 in paint (3 tins because I chose the wrong colour cream to start with, OOPS!) 
I've put some Cath Kidston fabric behind the glass doors and I think I'm going to line the shelves with either this spotty pink oilcloth or maybe a blue and pink rosy one.
Aaaah,... I think I'm in love!
.
Right! I better get on with some cupcakes... or tidying. Cupcakes it is!
Till next time.
Love Fi x

You live in a beautiful little village, what absolutely stunning scenery!
Hmm, I hope (well not really bykwim) that I never come across one of your cupcakes in real life, because I would have to try and take a bite out of it, wouldn't be able to help myself, they look sooooo good, sooooo yummy!
The cupcakes are so adorable. Nice job!
Your cupboard turn out to be FAB!
And your village is simply precious. It looks to be so quiet but charming. Jealous!
Your photos of the village do look like they have been rubbed out at the top! How strange is that!
I love the waterfall.
BUT most of all I love your cupboard it is fantastic
I love the cupcakes and your strawberries and cream cupboard.
I am so jealous, I have wanted one of those larder cupboards for years! You have done it up beautifully.
Love the cupcakes.
I am loving that cupboard and as for those cupcakes, Gorgeous
It is so beautiful where you live!

Beautiful! I am in love with your cupboard (and it cost much less because adventures in choosing paint colours don't count!) t.x
Those erased scenic photos made me feel so cold. The finish on your cupboard looks lovely. The rule on tidying is not to do it until you can't see your sewing machine. Cherrie
lurv the cupboard well done...can i come and live in your attic just until my little bit of homesickness passes..ps thank you for your comment too i really appreciate them love lynnie
I do love the Dales, we went there quite a few years ago, must return. Love them cupcakes they would look great on display on your new counter, your cupboard is looking very yummy.

What a beautiful waterfall.... loving your attic space, those roof lights must give you some fab natural light...
I love the new tops for your cupcakes, very clever indeed...
and your repurposed cupboard is fabulous...
take care

Nice photos Fiona - those waterfalls look quite benign to how they look sometimes. I am sure you will be happy with today's weather - it is glorious here and I am sure it will be the same with you. If I was coming through today I would call for one of those cupcakes!
Fantastic larder - silly how people don't want these things any more - they are so useful - and you have tarted it up magnificently - so you are a CK fan too?
I love the kitchen cupboard, it is sooo fab! xxxx
I love your work! It is so cute. Your blog is a true inspiration! Love the scenery too - wow! I would like to share a website with you. I recently came across it as I was cruising the web for inspiration. The furniture at this site is every crafters dream. I am entered in a contest to win an EZ View desk. If I win, my purchase of the workbox is not too far behind. You can vote for my entry, #275 in the giveawaygallery if you like.
Thanks in advance

What a lovely blog post, Marmalade. That little waterfall through the village is gorgeous, I'd love to play Pooh Sticks there!
Your cupboard has turned out brilliantly. That fabric is better than the first one you had in mind (Sanderson?). Well done you, it's just superb. The cup cakes look so splendid on the counter top.
