The World of Kitsch 3rd Blogaversary Cake!

/

Isn't it fabulous? Leah who made it kept the design a secret until I picked it up. Purple unicorn, rainbow, fox, sad child painting and Eames lounge chair. It really is a World of Kitsch cake.

It's delicious too. Devil's food cake with white chocolate buttercream. We always order our son's bespoke birthday cakes from Leah. She's made us a caravan cake & a Henry Hoover cake in previous years (as you'd expect, my son is as eccentric as me!).

What's That? Oh, That's Just My Bill Murray Colouring Book That Arrived Today

/

This is probably the only day of my life where I can utter the phrase,
"My Bill Murray colouring book arrived in the post today".

I preordered it from www.BellyKids.co.uk a few months ago, but it's only been released this month. It's splendid. Especially as you could buy two copies and cut out and frame the precoloured prints. Imagine, a wall of Bill Murray in your bathroom for just £7.99. Or! turn your bedroom into a Bill Murray art gallery (perhaps TOO sexy).

Pretty pleased with myself.

Beautiful Tea Cosies & 15% Off Suki Tea

/

Well last night was supposed to be the last post of Tea Week, but www.Suki-Tea.com contacted me with a glorious 15% off code for all World of Kitsch readers, so I simply had to share.
Enter 'Winner' at the checkout.

Here is the blog post about my tea tasting trip to the Suki Tea warehouse last week.

These beautiful, handmade tea cosies are from http://www.etsy.com/shop/jarg0n

Popcorn & Chocolate Teas? That'll be teapigs. 15% off orders, Exclusively for World of Kitsch readers.

It's been Tea Week on The World of Kitsch, with tea tastings & unusual teapots aplenty.

I'm rounding off the week by introducing you to teapigs & offering all World of Kitsch readers 15% off at www.teapigs.co.uk

Their tea 'menu' reads like a pick'n'mix of treats and delights. The packaging is deliciously kitsch, with sausage dogs, windmills & stags as blend ambassadors.

Embarrassingly there was also a chocolate tea, which I accidentally forgot to photograph, so keen was I to get stuck into it.

If you're anything like me, you'll be sold on the packaging, never mind the rave reviews the varieties get on the website.
So how about 15% off and a tea treat for yourself? That's off everything on site apart from gifts & existing offers.
Just enter BLOGGERS12 at the checkout for a tea time bargain. I recommend the Creme Caramel by the way.

teapigs are also a social media savvy bunch, so say hello at www.facebook.com/drinkrealtea or chat Olympic tea brewing with them on Twitter @teapigs
They also have a newsletter with discounts, so thrifty drinkers get involved.

Watch out for the big blog birthday giveaway this week, as I will be giving away a selection of teapigs tasters.
