Today is the last day for posting! The final parcels are being prepped and will be on their way (by RM or courier) today. So keep an eye on those mail boxes in the next few days for your treats :)

(Also please check your mailboxes here as I have an unclaimed reservation which needs to be sorted out with it's invoice by tomorrow at the latest - otherwise it will be gone elsewhere - thank you :) )

The posting has begun!! The first of the parcels are on their way with the bulk scheduled to go out on Monday... a last few will be Tuesday and Wednesday, but that will be the final stragglers. Most of you should have your orders by early next week.

I've had to do things a little differently this time round, so thank you all for your patience in waiting for your orders :)

Hello all :) Just to say don't worry if you've reserved items through here and haven't received your invoice yet! They are in the book as allocated to you, and I'm working through to get it all sorted. Hold tight and I'll be with you soon - you've not been forgotten, I've just been cooking up a storm!

Thank you x

If you're looking for something gorgeous and decadent to wear whilst you're eating your gorgous and decadent sweets, Blue Lady Couture still has a few ready-to-ship items left in stock!

This is a variation of our ever popular Parlour Bustle Skirt with long voluminous drapery at the back which sweeps almost to the floor. It can be

The remaining four and six item boxes are now live on Etsy (and there's only four TeaRuffles remaining). ###

Out of deference to both sanity and humanity. the final Empire sales won't be up on Etsy until this weekend is over, and I'll not be invoicing any pre-orders until then... of course, if you fancy a Civilised Saturday, pop along to a local bookshop like Southcart vintage and antique books and support this lovely initiative :)

Starting to be able to smell the sugar warming in the kitchen this morning....

Well my dears, I am getting myself primped and prepared for the final big cook! In approximately two weeks time, the Empire Christmas Range will be released on Etsy only - it will be *very* limited edition and comprise of our favorites. So stay alert as once it's gone, it's gone!

Hope you are all keeping well and warm and happy x

Well my dears, it's been a month now and there's some good news and bad.

The bad is that Empire is coming to an end, at least for me. Things have changed, healthwise, to the point where the strains of commercial kitchen work is simply a when, not an if, for a serious incident. Well, admittedly laying on the floor passing in and out of consciousness prior to the Asylum was probably serious but I'm not very good at taking notice of such things. But trying to dump boiling sugar down my leg a couple of times wasn't such a good thing either. Luckily both passed without further worry.

The good news is that the cookbook is certainly happening and will be out next year! As is a *very* limited pre-Christmas release of more goodies, so fear not! This Festive Season may still be limitedly sticky! The website and Etsy will revive around mid November - make sure you check and keep an eye on here too as I know what stock I will have will go like a shot and you don't want to miss out on the last blast.

Big hugs to you all and will keep you posted for November. x Am so sorry it's not better news but sometimes the decisions have to be made and it's time to saddle the donkey for new pastures.

However... I am moving into something that's Indoor Work, No Heavy Lifting that may well see me out and about with you all again ;)
