brambles Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My loverly new Cube and extra run are now adorned with solar powered fairy lights emitting a gentle glow at the end of the garden. Too bunting cupcake, but I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brambles Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'll have a go tomorrow - too warm and comfy here! Bunting cupcake is a phrase some friends coined when considering lifestyles which are encapsulated by Nigella Lawson, boden, shabby chic, etc - ie, pre-crash yummy mummy. It's a wry look sideways at rural idyll as seen by the modern middle classes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Bunting cupcake is a phrase some friends coined when considering lifestyles which are encapsulated by Nigella Lawson, boden, shabby chic, etc - ie, pre-crash yummy mummy.

HENthusiastic Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ive got fairly lights around my run too! Still not fully understanding the cupcake reference, but I'm probably not it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I can't stand the use of cupcake for a simple fairy cake, but do use it as a term of endearment.....work that one out !! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have solar light on a big Honeysuckle that grows against the pen mesh next to the Cube, & it looks lovely when all lit up. I also have them on 2 standard bays - the more fairy lights the better,I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I want to be bunting cupcake......where can i get solar fairy lights!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 EBay Get the ones with the bigger solar panel, more suited for the UK, with the wire that goes in from the bottom, not into the top of the panel - they last much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I love that phrase! Shall be adopting it with gusto! Think I might be susceptible to Bunting Cupcake Syndrome, being rather partial to bunting, cup cakes and solar fairy lights (eugh... evil smiley faces...)

Guest Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I was going to put some wind horses (Tibetan prayer flags, a bit like bunting) on my run at one point. Maybe I am fairy cake bunty after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricbarbarella Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ok I need to know where you got solar pwoered fairy lights, I am not bunting cupcake (although I think I may be one of the group of friends in question ) more boho I like to think.

Omletina Kyckling Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I got some solar fairy lights from QVC two years ago and have them around an arch which leads down to Chickenland, and they are fabulous, they even light up in winter right through the night! I want to get some more at some stage, and may try the Ebay ones. You often get them at gardening shows on special deals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ive got fairly lights around my run too! Still not fully understanding the cupcake reference, but I'm probably not it! No, you aren't Dear! I love it, very descriptive, and I know a few people who really ARE Bunting Cupcake Not really me though; I'm not pink and fluffy enough This lady definitely IS though... Snowy, you will love some of her needlework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
