TwentyThirteen WrapUp

The joys and the magic of the festive season bring opportunities for reflection and eager anticipation.

2013 has been a busy and fulfilling year for the Little Birdie girls. There have been exciting changes and challenges (a beautiful new home, fresh professional opportunities), time for recuperation (memorable holidays with friends and with our family), family fun-time with children and grandchildren, and celebration of precious milestones.

Our Little Birdie Events styling business caresses and fuels our imaginative spirits and our love of all things artistic and creative. Today we are reflecting on our special Little Birdie memories from 2013.

Here are some of our favourites…

A Treat for Mum

The Little Birdie girls recently made a delicious Turkish Delight cheesecake set into mini glass jars for Gerri's baby Lulu's Christening celebration. It was a much sought after recipe by our guests. Considering Mother's Day is tomorrow, and Mums deserve a treat, we thought we would share it with you all.

The decadent recipe was penned by one our favourite chefs and food stylists, Julie Le Clerc, and was originally published in a Cuisine magazine, which was given to Carole by her Mum almost 10 years ago.

For a special Mother's Day treat for Mum, why not set the cheesecake in individual jars and adorn the lids with something pretty, as we did for Lulu's Christening celebration.

Stay tuned for more details from Lulu's Christening celebration in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, the Little Birdie girls wish all Mummies and Mummies-to-be (as Gerri was this last year - see here) a blissfully happy Mother's Day tomorrow.
