Tuesday Treasures

It's Tuesday once again and that means it's time for 'Tuesday Treasures' where I share with you six blogs or websites that have caught my eye over the last week. So, without any further ado or even messing around, here they are. Just click on the title to go to the site.

Hot Toast and Jam - this is the blog of artist/designer Mmm where you will find beautiful photos and artwork as well as some of his musings and a few other things. Not only that but fortnightly, on a Tuesday, he runs a co-op where he gives a theme and other artists can link their work on that theme to his site. Many of the sites are really worth taking the time to look at.

Tom Percival - this is the blog of Tom Percival, a writer and illustrator of children's books. He also illustrates books for other writers and I found out about him through a book called 'The Tiny Wife' by Andrew Kaufman. Lots of lovely images and many other things on this blog.

Lauduree - this is the website of Lauduree, Paris and I decided to have a look at it because I was given a beautiful box of Lauduree macaroons last week and wanted to find out more. It is such a beautiful website. Just click on any of the items in the scene to get further information or on any of the links along the top of their scene page. Just beautiful!

Tweetsmarter - this blog is a must for anyone who uses Twitter. It belongs to Dave and Sarah Larsen who are better known on Twitter as @TweetSmarter and gives great advice and information on using Twitter to your best advantage. Really worth exploring.

My Life Blogs - this is a great motivational and inspirational blog. To be honest I've only just discovered it so I'm still finding my way round it but so far I am loving what I am reading so I'm sure you will too.

Talli Roland - this is the blog of novelist Talli Roland. Here you will find posts about her own novels, guest posts, posts about other books she recommends and posts about everything that's going on around her. Having just finished 'The Hating Game' which I loved and highly recommend. (click on it to read my review), and having literally just purchased her brand new novel today 'Watching Willow Watts' (which I can't wait to start) I just had to share this one with you.

Hope you enjoy!

Until the next time,

Stop! It's Going Too Fast and I Want to Get Off!

Carousel Okay - I don't actually mean that I want things to stop so that I can get off because I'm having too much fun but, over the last few months, my life has become a daily whirlwind of new businesses, taking on new projects, building websites and building a brand and it's not showing any sign of slowing down. I have loved every minute of it so far but it has meant that so many other things in my life have had to be put on the back burner whilst all this has been going on, including Cupcakes and Cadenzas. It will all have been worth it in the long run but I just want to say thanks to everyone who has stuck around and not abandoned this blog and to say that I haven't forgotten about it or you. Why I love Cupcakes and Cadenzas so much and refuse to give up on it it is that it was the very first blog that I set up and is therefore my 'baby' as far as blogs go. I have several other blogs set up for various business ventures but Cupcakes and Cadenzas is

The Sad Songs Blogfest

This is the first time I've ever taken part in a Blogfest and it has been great fun! Thank you to Diane for organising it. You can find Diane's blog by clicking here Check out her list of inspirational, sad songs. I have had a ball going through old cds, trying to pick out my top 10 sad songs that inspire me. I have to admit that I could have come up with way more than 10 but I decided to give myself a limit. These songs hold no particular memories for me but they are songs that tug at my heart strings every time I hear them and if I'm ever feeling down and wanting to wallow in self-pity, then these are the songs I would put into my playlist and play whilst drinking a bottle glass or two of wine. Are you sitting comfortably? (click on any of the titles to hear the songs on youTube) Hello by Evanescence . The haunting piano accompaniment and the striking voice of Amy lee make this (in my opinion) one of the most moving songs this band have ever released. All O

A-Z Blogging Challenge: E is for...Elsie Marley

This is a rhyme that I hadn't heard until I started this challenge although some people I have spoken to have been surprised that I hadn't heard it so I'm learning stuff from this too. 'Elsie Marley's grown so fine. She won't get up to feed the swine, But lies in bed 'til eight or nine! And surely does she take her time.' This little rhyme seems innocent enough. Elsie is obviously a lady who has, for what ever reason, got ideas above her station. She has become so fine that she won't get out of bed before 8 or 9am and refuses to feed the pigs. When she does get up she certainly doesn't rush to do anything. The rhyme has been changed with good reason. Her name was actually Eppie Marly. Here is the original. Bonnie Prince Charlie 'Saw ye Eppie Marly, honey, The woman that sells the barley, honey? She's lost her pocket and a' her money, Wi followin' Jacobite Charlie, honey. Eppie Marly's turned sae fine, She&
