Sherbet dip dabs

I'm off school poorly  today with a throat that feels like I'm swallowing glass. I am in desperate need of the summer holidays as these last few weeks have been a real struggle. If truth be told full time is just a little too much with everything else that goes on in this mad house, but as I am so happy to have a job that I love that I will just have to get used to it.
I have indulged in a little morning tv. I do miss Holly and Phil in the mornings so it was nice to catch up albeit fitfully between dozing. I managed to see the cooking spot where sweets were being made. A recipe for sherbet dip-dabs. I loved these as a child. The recipe is here if you are interested.

 

I thought that I might make them to go on the confectionery table at no1's party.

I'm off to rest again now, if it wasn't for the dog sleeping on the settee I'd be on there, but she looks so peaceful and content.

No 1 turns 21 in September and she would like to have a party at the field.  She will have her party in August as I cannot realistically cater for it in September as I will be back to school. We have a metal barn and fields so we are going to have to work hard to get the party atmosphere. She would like to invite around 100 people. She likes vintage so I am busy collecting teacups for the desserts. 

Some of them may not be my first choice of crockery but we are working to a budget. I had already collected some so I need to have a count up of how many more we need.  I think it's quite a few.

  Although only three glasses, I thought this printed jug and glasses is quite cute.  I thought it could be used for my homemade elderflower cordial. 

 I've also started collecting tea plates...

I've also got this fabric to make some bunting

Now I'm off to Pinterest to get some more ideas
