DIY Your Own Tea Cup Candle Holder...
The Tea Cup Candle Holder is the quickest DIY ever.
It takes just five minutes to put together.
And after 24 hours glue drying time is ready to use or gift!
I used a Maxwell and Williams cup and saucer set,
from Farmers purchased for $7.50 at half price.
But you can use vintage cups and saucers matched or mismatched for a more delicate pretty look.
This one was just $2 from Briscoes sale.
put a large dollop on the base of the cup.
Then place the ball candle on the saucer.
Plus that saucer catches all the wax drips.
Light and enjoy
or
gift to someone else.

Easy Decor Flower Bowl...
Flowers, flowers everywhere -
that's my motto.
Just use flower heads with a short stem.
Out of the garden today I have picked:
Roses, and dahlias.
and then place the flower heads as desired.
SO SO PRETTY...
And SO SO EASY!
Decor flower bowls are fabulous for on coffee tables, sideboards,
or on the dining table as a simple floral centrepiece....

Easy Valentines Berry Trifle...
This trifle is the easiest dessert to create in a jiffy.
If you have a busy life, then this is the perfect dessert for Valentines night...
Use: pre a made cream or jam filled rolled sponge roll cake
Pre-made custard and a little whipped cream.
Plus fresh berries of your choice.
And a chocolate ganache.
Simply melt dark or milk chocolate in a bowl over hot water and add a few tablespoons of whole cream to mix to a smooth sauce.
Easy Chocolate Berry Trifle can be alcohol-free,
or tipsy it up a little by adding a sprinkle of sherry,
or chocolate or coffee flavoured liqueur to the sponge layers.
Top with more sponge slices, more whipped cream
and more berries. It's not the prettiest served on the plate,
but the taste of deliciousness outweighs this by far.
The Chocolate Berry Trifle is a fav in our house,
and even gets pre-orders as a Birthday dessert!
But I think it is a superb easy fix Valentines dessert too!

Faux Succulent Jars...
A popular trend at the moment is textured glass, so I was very happy to happen upon these sweet cut glass vases on sale!
and honestly, there are some very, very, very cool things available.
These jars were $7.99 each - I paid $4 on sale.
Three is always the most gentle on the eye, so I bought three.
but I chose to buy the faux succulents to put in my jars.
(unkillable plant = love, and they look soooo real!)
They too were on sale and were bargained at $5 each.
Place on the sill.
And voila'...
And the best thing is:
I can't kill these plants.
And I do not have to water them!
