Popping Pancakes?

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Since reading through your lovely comments about my last pancake post, I thought it would be fun to share a couple more of the cool topping ideas Warburtons suggest on their Wheel of Possibility. Also, we get to eat everything after we photographed it so let's not pretend that's not always a major incentive haha. 

This time Baby Glitter and I made pancakes with chocolate & popping candy and also granola & shaved coconut.

I think you can guess which topping's the Little preferred! 

I really enjoy the idea that you can can swing sweet or savoury directions with this little circley pancakey beauties. It's so nice to be mixing things up a bit more in the mornings and having little chats with Darcy along the way about pouring, mixing, drizzling etc. We don't do a lot of 'kitchen stuff' together so it was a really good opportunity to develop new vocab and experience new tastes (oh how I wish I'd filmed her trying popping candy for the first time!!) without taking up too much time or making much mess. Oh, and need I mention the eating part again?! Win win win.

If you would like some inspired pancake ideas, hot foot it over to the Warburtons Facebook Page HERE and see what they have to offer. 

What do you think? Had you ever considered popping candy on a pancake? Mmmmmm *contemplates making more*

Toodlepip!

Happy Mint Hares

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Before Christmas, on one of my many jaunts through ASOS (an online clothes shopping haven), I stumbled across a bag that embodies everything I look for in a piece of arm candy and snapped it up quicker than you could say, 'Shouldn't you be saving for a holiday?".

ASOS Mint Hare Bag

Oh hello beautiful mint green bag with (faux) gold hardware, tassel and a embossed hare detail.

This bag is described as a 'Tassel Bowler Bag" but in my humble opinion it should be the Mint Hare Bag- far more whimsical. 

Retailing for £35 for not real leather, I do think the pricing is a little steep. However, the fact that it is mint & gold, has forest animal detailing (I have a love of woodland creatures), is large enough to fit all my mummy junk and regular stuff in it, can be held with short handles or long straps and has a tassel....well that makes up for it for me.

This bag is just what I needed to brighten up a grey January and look forward to Spring with. I tend to wear a lot of pastels and florals from about February-August, so with any luck, this will see me through. 

I haven't had an opportunity to take it outside a lot and really road test it so at the moment, on the durability front, the jury's out. I've never had a 'big bag' from ASOS before so I can't even look back and compare, but based purely on aesthetics, I LOVE IT!

What do you think? How much do you allow yourself to spend on a 'big bag'? I think my limit is about £60 if it's very, very special. Let me know in the comments, I'm interested.

Toodlepip!
