Let them eat - ... soap?!
When you are trying hard not to eat cake, it really is necessary to find something else to put on a cake stand to pretty it up. So I found these little soapy bath thingies and don’t they look cute? The pretty floral boxed soaps are from Marks & Spencer.
The cake stand was made from the bits and pieces of a tea set that I found in a charity shop. Its a lovely gold and lemon pattern – very pretty and delicate. Hubby helped again.
Made in England by Balfour.
I still have two cups and saucers, so can invite a friend to tea.
I’ll have real cakes, though! Don’t think there are as many calories in them when you buy them for friends – are there?
Time to get the kettle on!
Love, Liz

The Balfour tea cups and saucers are really pretty with the yellow and gold! Very vintage as well! What a beautiful tea setting they make.

This is so cute. I love the idea of using your cakestand to display these adorable soaps. They look good enough to eat :) I am also in love with these vintage cups and saucers. The yellow color is so lovely.
I tried leaving a comment on your last post, but blogger wouldn't let me for some reason... those tray cloths you bought are beautiful! I just love going to charity shops!
Hugs
