Wishlist: Tea Time

With autumn on its way and the nights drawing in, it’s time to get cosy in the midst of the back to school rush. Helping with the effort, Esther N McCarthy picks a clock, some lamps, cute pottery and clothes to wrap baby in.

* How pretty is this? I love this pink cotton blanket with linen applique flowers and now that we’re having to think about autumnal weather, it’s handy that it is backed with fleece. ’So Cosy’ quilts, blankets and baby bunting are designed and handmade by Brenda Palmer.

* What could be better than a little making and baking for some quality time with the kids? Keep them entertained with the bold and bright puzzles which, once completed, will reveal Mary Gosling’s delicious cupcake recipe. Get the children’s creative juices flowing as you help them bake their cupcakes and when you’ve finished you can even store them in the beautiful tin. It ticks all the boxes. http://goslinggames.ie
