We are fortunate to have so many beautiful things for sale at Fabiola & Sing Sing, but sometimes it’s a real wrench to part with them.
Take this gorgeous Mathilde cake stand for instance.
I don’t know how Graham managed to avoid snaffling one of those meringues when he took the photograph. Me? I think [...]

We had a last-minute delivery of a batch of Christmas decorations arrive on Friday, including mercurised glass baubles and silver stars, and they are simply beautiful!
They would look wonderful either on the Christmas tree, or as the centrepiece of a table display. I must admit, they really helped me forget the rain this weekend [...]

Are you ready to Wordle?
Wordle is a fun little web app that will take a selection of words or a blog’s RSS feed and convert it into an (often beautiful) word cloud. It can be quite mesmerising to play with it.
Naturally, I couldn’t resist plugging Fabiola & Sing Sing into Wordle, and lo-and-behold it [...]

Many of you gave us wonderful feedback, especially regarding our website, while we ironed out the creases. It’s looking a little less crumpled and we are so excited [...]

It’s time for us to stand up and be counted!
A week or so ago I blogged about how you and your children could make a turkey out of Lego (or indeed, other animals, dinosaurs or monsters) to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s a fun, creative way to spend the cold rainy days [...]

This blog is fairly new, and I must admit I’m pretty new to blogging too. I have sometimes wondered what people might be able to ascertain from my personality based upon what I blog about – well now, because of a new website, I know!
Typealyzer analyses your blog (or indeed anyone else’s) and tries [...]

Brr.. it sure is cold outside, but here is something to warm you up and keep you and the kids busy if you’re stuck indoors while it’s chilly and windy.
Okay, so we all want to do the right thing for the environment, and some people aren’t so keen on sending Christmas cards anymore – so [...]

Okay, so we’re not actually condoning causing physical pain to the scumbag, good-for-nothing, lowlife, toe-rag who has just left you in the lurch, washed your delicates at too high a temperature, or run off with your Romanian ironing lady…
But if you’ve ever been let down by a man then here’s something that might make you [...]

Soooo, I’ve been thinking that I need to start thinking about planning my Christmas party. I can’t get through the cold and darkness without a series of soirees to look forward to. I do find the long nights and low temperatures a test of endurance, so I sometimes like to pretend I’m in a hot [...]

It’s three weeks until Christmas, but we can’t just stop ourselves from giving you an early present.
Yes, fresh from us introducing a Twitter feed where you can follow Fabiola & Sing Sing’s every thought, we’ve also set up our very own fan page on Facebook.
Yes, we know it’s rather self-indulgent to set up a fan [...]
