Rich chocolate layer cake + Sweet! by Sally Wise

Posted on May 15, 2012

Sunday Snippets is a blog link up started by Cathy. However, I first noticed it on the lovely blog The Byron Life.

I love the idea of sharing a few photos of my week that aren’t necessary food related. I hope you enjoy them too.

Picture above: morning light streaming in onto an artwork on our living room wall. (more…)
