    Was in Woolies at the weekend and saw they had a cupcake range of kitchen stuff - mug (only £1), tins, chopping board (I think), teatowels, apron etc. Stuff was very reasonably priced and quite pretty. Have had a look at the Woolworths site but can't find any of the bits on there.

    had a look on Debenhams they
    have a lovely cupcake range
    there is a lovely large ceramic
    cupcake biscuit container and
    a matching smaller one each were
    £15 and £20.So pretty I can see them
    being popular at Christmas time.

    I love this mug rosekitten... http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_63344_181933_-1

    if that one is the same as I was
    looking at and I am certain it is,it
    is set in a pretty matching hatbox
    with a carry handle.

    This is lovely and only £10 its
    a good size too when I first saw
    it I thought it was the biscuit
    barrel.Its such a nice range
    I am waiting for one of their
    blue cross days

    thanks rainmac for the link

    I have just finished my towel cake I
    still have to put the cellophane over it.
    Its a wedding with a lilac theme
    its the first time I have made one
    so its been a bit trial and error

    1 bath sheet -£3
    1 bath towel - £2
    3 hand towels - £2.50
    2 face cloths - 50p
    3 metres Ribbon - £1.20
    pearl rope £3

    the towels came from Primark
    thier sort of posh range.
    the dearest thing on it was the
    little floral bows packet of 20 - £3.95
    but when I get the cellophane on it
    there will be enough ribbon to do
    a nice bow on the top

    I did not have a cake board so I managed
    to get a packet of extra large paper plates
    in Home Bargains 39p for 8 and stuck two
    together for added strength.I had some silver
    paper doilys already so cut the border off two
    of them and stuck them round the edge as the
    plate has a pink border that did not match in.

    I think having done this one I realise now that there
    are ways and means to bring the cost down to make
    this a bit cheaper next time.
