This is me waiting at the gate for my friends Violet and Ruby. Violet and Ruby are coming to play here for ever and ever and be sisters to me and Hazel as well so we will be all like four twins who are sisters.
Did you know I am a very good cooker and I do cooking nearly every single day. Mostly I like to cook cakes and biscuits and things what I can put icing on.
And with my mixer I got all sorts of stuff and cakes and a little knifer and even a cake what comes apart and goes together again. So when Violet and Ruby get to my house we can have tea parties all together.
I did some cookering for Jodie on the weekend and I made some biscuits what are mostly healthy cause they have fruit and then a bit not healthy cause they have chocolate. I think mostly that I like the chocolate part but Jodie says it is rude just to lick off the good bits of biscuits and you have eat the not-good bits too. I think maybe I don't agree to that bit.
(OK so that is my pathetic attempt to disguise the fact that I went and bought this most wonderful toy just so I could use it to take cute dolly photos. I bought it from
.Seriously, this is one cute toy! It has heaps of bits and pieces and the quality is fantastic. I am not normally into advertising stuff on ye olde blog, but I just knew that someone would ask me so I got in first - Pop over and have a look and while you're there check out the breakfast set and the pirate ship............. and it's OK because it says it is for ages over 3 and I am waaaaaay over 3)
EDITED TO ADD:
Guess what ?
(and before you ask I have nothing to do with this company at all I am just a happy customer)
My Wooden Toys have just emailed me to say that until the end of the month they are going to offer 10% discount on your purchases. All you have to do is type ric-rac in the comments box at checkout. They will deduct 10% when processed for a credit card or refund the 10% if you use paypal.
How cool is that? ...Stay tuned, next week I might mention Mercedez Benz
Hey, it says over three, it doesn't say under anything!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Jodie, made me smile before venturing out into the cold and wet this English morning!
After having seen it in person I know how good it is!!! The kids enjoyed playing with it on Saturday, maybe not as much as you though!!! Hee, Hee.
ReplyDeleteThe Dolly photos look fab and with good reason!
Thanks Jodie!! I am sure the dolls love the mixer as much as you do!!! I will check out the site.
ReplyDeleteOur road tester is still talking about it! Sooooo cute. It looks perfect with the very sweet dollies
ReplyDeleteFab dolly photos and a very cute baking set too! We all know you bought it to play with yourself! I bet I enjoyed playing with it on Saturday too!
ReplyDeleteLocket xxxx
*LOL* love the mixer.. very cute... but I love the doll's apron best I think... I want one in grown up size! I bought H a little blue mixing bowl and some nice quality rubber spatula and spoon, whick he helped me to mix some brownies with on Friday but he only licked the bowl out, he never actually ate any brownies once baked...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Will be sure to check it out! Cute post!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteEsther is gorgeous, and so talented with all that cookering. Can't wait to see her other twins. Fab baking set, no wonder you wanted it. x
ReplyDeleteI think I know a little girl called Margot and her friend Stella who might enjoy that set...
ReplyDeleteThere is just something about wooden toys.
ReplyDeleteDon't try and pretend that mixmaster is just for photos, I KNOW you are totally playing with it.
Well your new toy and dolly made me smile-glad you're having fun-do you think we could just boycot the going back to school thing??(sorry for even bringing up the S word!!)
ReplyDeleteI bought my nephew the little pizza (I think it is the same manufacturer) It has mushrooms, capsicum and pepperoni pieces that you can add to the top. I saw the cake and mixer kit, it was very difficult to leave it at the shop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the toy link Jodie, I have tagged it as a pressie for the girls, (theyve busted 2 plastic ones) I wonder how ticked off they would be if they got that instead of easter eggs??? he he..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dolls, as always.. I think the idea of a sewing weekend is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! NO kids, No husbands and lots of sewing/crafting projects.
Perhaps Lucy could come in real time?
This is darling. Your dollies must be bigger than I originally thought! Wooden toys for cloth dolls - I love it. The wooden toy people should contract you to write clever stories for all their toys!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I mean Hazel and of course the toy. Who says you need an excuse?
ReplyDeletep.s. Did you coordinate her dress to match the mixer on purpose??
ReplyDeleteLove how Esther and her new baking set match. What a darling "toy"! I'm afraid I'd be playing with it more than Esther and her twin sisters.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this set recently on Melissa's Day to Day blog. I am very tempted. I'll have to let Charlotte read this post because she will think it is her Ruby getting to have a play at your Esther's house!
ReplyDeleteThats a great toy set. Wonderful colours too! I can see why you got it, and why the girls have to play with it. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis whole post is adorable! Hooray for buying yourself a toy! ;)
ReplyDeletelove it! I have a (real) little girl called Esther and she loves licking the nice bits off the baking too. Clever girls
ReplyDeleteabsolutely okay.
ReplyDelete3 and OVER!!!
SUPER cute!!!
Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good thing they didn't say it's for ages between 3 and 10...
... but I'm sure you would come up with a good excuse anyway...!
That mixer is so cute! As is Esther too of course!
ReplyDeleteEsther is just divine. I love her little apron and chefs hat
ReplyDeleteI just love your stories. Esther, you can come and bake yummy stuff in my kitchen especially with that flash looking mixerer!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute adorable doll! Very expressive too (O:
ReplyDeleteI would happily buy this little kitchen kit - i love the cakes and the stand. Ester is very cute too.
ReplyDeleteGet this for word verif: ressebi
like recipe, kind of. Very topical.

Oh man, is that ever cute, or what? Isn't it funny, the things we'll do to feed our blogs???
ReplyDeleteI would never let my 3 year old play with this. It's too pretty. I want to play with it. Down that road madness lies.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute I think I want to play with it. Don't you wish you were still a little girl sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better reason to buy kitchen toys.
ReplyDeleteOoohhhhooohhhhh.... I LOVE THE TOYS! It's Amara's birthday in four weeks... she's not three... only two... I wonder if I can get it for me... I mean... her... for her birthday!?!?
ReplyDeletethat toy shop is amazing. if i had kids i would definately be buying up big from there.
ReplyDeleteTHEY HAVE SOLD OUT of the Cooking set and also the breakfast set. OH DEAR! (No problems really...I'm sure they'll be getting more in!)
ReplyDeleteThey're really CUTE!! (Could you mention Aston Martin, they're made just up the road, so I would be rude not to buy local, especially with 10% off!)
ReplyDeleteYour missing school aren't you. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute toy. I love wooden things for kids.
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the market for a new car this week. but I am looking for a new sewing machine. 10% off would be handy.
Contacted to offer discount on fabulous product? Nearly as good as being a virtual radio beauty queen!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear of someone who has bought something from them - I've been eyeing off their stuff dor a while now, and have wondered what it is like! Is it sad to be wanting to buy pirate ships for my 14 week old?
ReplyDeleteIt's only cos I want to play with it myself.... lol
Oh my what a wonderful cookering set!! I'd love to have one for Minx/me.
ReplyDeleteEsther is adorable - especially in her chef's gear - and I can't wait to see her twins :-)

This has to be the cutest post I've ever read. I came here via Frogdancer to see the selvedge dress, it's truly amazing!
ReplyDeletelove the cooking set, will look into having one of those.
ReplyDeleteThis is just too lovely. I was looking for a cute eco toy just as Esther to my little girl. She looks so pretty and cute.
