South Wales Bloggers Meet

On Thursday 13th was the South Wales Bloggers Meet Up in St Davids centre which we were told about by Chantele of Daisy Days.
  We contributed some discount vouchers to the goodie bags given out at the event and donated a necklace to the raffle. We couldn't make it on the day but heard everybody enjoyed themselves :)

Remember to join the mailing list if you haven't already, or leave a comment on this blog for an extra entry into our giveaway which ends on the 30th as usual. We are waiting on a whole bunch of supplies to come in so we will have lots of new goodies in the shop any day now!
Also very excited about our friend Adam Evola Wonder coming to stay with us soon. His passport is almost ready!

Buttery Biscuit Base

We have four new necklaces in the shop today featuring vintage chains, rhinestone buttons, chunky plastic gems and a vintage sparkling brooch

Also here is the funniest thing I've seen in ages!

In other news, I had a vision yesterday... I saw the edge of the universe! Okay, so I was really high, but I'm sure it actually happened. Watch this space...

Goodbye Horses

Well...goodbye Mogwokamol-I-A :(

She went to the vet for a checkup and they found a microchip. She had been lost for a while before Sarah found her and was really far away from home. I spoke to her owner on the phone and she had been so distraught, she thought she was dead.. so we did a good deed but we miss her so much :'(

On the plus side we have a new puppy called Frank-- pictures coming soon!

And we have been featured in a post about vintage and customised trends on Reach Students blog

  Operation Power to the Pentagon is complete! And now all we need is the floor down, ramp and our boys to work their magic pimping the inside. We can't wait, it's going to look fanfuckingtastic. We shall post some photos when it's all done. Here is a little clue for what's in store:

The Superfine Honeycomb Hideout

We are getting rather excited with the progress on our lovely shed! Sarah is now painting the walls bright green and azure blue with a little help from our friends.

Here is a photo of how it looked a couple of days ago:

 More good news -- there is a new pussycat living with us here on The Parade! She is so so cuddly and has a really strange sounding meow. Here's Mogwok:

Testiclates

This week an important alliance has been formed, the results of which may prove cataclysmic for the rest of you mere mortals. But we can't be sure of that yet, so don't panic.

Check out our current inspiration:

We've also been finishing off a custom necklace we were working on for a while:

Space Is The Place

We have had a reply from the MOD!

 "Please note that with effect from the 1 December 2009 the Ministry of Defence will no longer respond to, or investigate, UFO sighting Reports.
The MOD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life. However, in over fifty years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom.
The MOD has no specific capability for identifying the nature of such sightings. There is no Defence benefit in such investigation and it would be an inappropriate use of defence resources. Furthermore, responding to reported UFO sightings diverts MOD resources from tasks that are relevant to Defence.
Any UFO sightings reported to this e-mail address will not receive a response and will be automatically deleted."

I replied anyway to say I was more concerned it might be the Russians.

We had a lovely day on Saturday trying to peddle our wares in Coopers Field with Kirstie a.k.a. Bizarre Bazaark. I'm loving the Where's Wally vintage clutch bag she pimped!

There's loads more jewellery in our Etsy shop now and and some newer, detailed listings on the website of some of our extra special items: www.itsalovelycake.com/special
This week Sarah is currently playing a lot of G and C chords on guitar... oh yeah they sound pretty sweet with a bit of TESTICLATES action. Lyric of the day: intercourse with a porpoise with no condom on on purpose

We are really excited about a Lovely Cake piece of artwork that Nicole of HellsSewingCircle is currently working on for us which will soon be on display on our website and new business cards coming soon!

Super special custom charm bracelets!

A few weeks ago we started making a custom charm bracelet for Ferne. She had seen one of our bracelets and wanted something similar but more personal to her, so she sent us a few charms and bits she had collected. Out of these and plenty of other shiny bits we made her this lovely bracelet, based upon our vintage white charm bracelet

If you are interested in your own custom charm bracelet please send us your ideas at itsalovelycake@Hotmail.co.uk
