From across the pond...

Around the time of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, I placed a little order off of etsy.  I've been patiently axiously awaiting it's arrival from across the pond, and it came in the mail yesterday!



I ordered this necklace to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee.  There is the union jack, god save the queen, a crown and a "diamond"...


Sam from Hoolala e-mailed me a couple of weeks ago and said that the union jack heart was out of stock, but more were on order, but had been a bit delayed.  She promised to throw in some freebies for my wait, and let me just say that I LOVE all the little extras!

There are these three charms...


Also included was this cute little card and a set of dice...

The back of the card has the number to answers code.  So cute!

Here's the business card (on a playing card, how fun is that?)...

Hoolala has so many cute things.  If you aren't into the whole British thing, there are Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, and....wait for it... Pride & Prejudice! 
just one of the P&P items


Oh my lord, I may have to get something from the Pride & Prejudice line before all is said and done!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
