We have learned the Salvage sisters like to collect in themes, it’s a way of justifying our aquisitions, as they come together in some kind of library of usefulness! I have realised that Lucy is much more professional both in her aquiring, her knowledge and research, and her diligent repurposing of items to justify their existence in her home! I would go as far as to label myself as minimal in comparison, right sis?!

However here is one of my collection fettishes, ‘Coupe’ champagne and cocktail glasses..

Coupe champagne glasses

They are highly practical in their making of any moment worth celebrating!

mojito cupcakes

Featured here, are some Mojito cupcakes I recently made for a friends birthday breakfast, and I reckon this was the perfect vessel for serving them up!

And here they are making a Birthday Bubbly moment for my good friend Vicki, complete with retro tray I’m quite attached to! There is a family famed champagne cocktail recipe I must share with you that has made many an occasion.. anyone who has ever tried it always gets back to me for the recipe at some stage!

Birthday Bubbly

You will need: 1 sugar cube, Angostura Bitters, Brandy of any type – I use Cointreau for a little orange twist, Champagne/ Cava

Place sugar cube in bottom of glass. Place a drop or two of bitters on cube.. add a shot of Brandy, top with Champagne for the ultimate Classic Champagne Cocktail!
