How has your week been? Its been a lovely sunny week here in Suffolk - proper springlike.
Washing has been hung outside and come in a few hours later, dry and with that wonderful linedried smell :)
The sunny weather has made everyone happy - MrVV hasn't felt cold in his office all week and the boys have been happy as they've not needed coats for school.
We've a busy weekend planned here in the VV household - a birthday party for me tomorrow, lunch out & a trip to Southwold on Sunday and then my actual birthday on Monday (and another lunch out).
Today I've been baking towards the party tomorrow - one of my little nieces asked last weekend if there would be pretty cakes at the party? So of course I've obliged;
Lemon cupcakes with lemon icing topped with a mini-egg (well its almost Easter).
When I was out with Country Girl for afternoon tea in the week, these vintage inspired postcards jumped out at me & at just 25p each it would have been madness not to get a whole set. They remind me of sunny, summer days spent at the beach;
Here's hoping you all have a good weekend and we all get some more sunshine.
See you next week
PS - Don't forget to enter my giveaway ;)

Fantastic postcards! Have a great weekend/birthday (love Southwold)It's absolutely chucking it down here in Cornwall - got to get the boy from school in a minute and am dreading leaving the house!
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. I am all in favour of dragging out a birthday so that it lasts for as many days as possible!
Enjoy yourself ;-)
