HomeSense Blogger Christmas Party

November 30, 2016 by hannahhossack 2 Comments

Homesense cocktail shakers

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited along to a blogger Christmas party hosted by HomeSense, who sell the most gorgeous and eclectic homeware. It was hosted in The Lost and Found cocktail bar in Birmingham (my home town), in “The Bar Behind The Bookcase” – a lovely little private bar and function room hidden away behind, you guessed it, a bookcase. The event was a chance for Homesense to show off a few key pieces from their fantastic Christmas range, and for the bloggers to mingle and get to know each other a bit better.

We were served as much prosecco (adorned with edible flowers and raspberries) and wine as we could drink; and there was a delicious selection of canapes to nibble on, including some very addictive spicy potato wedges and gooey brownies. The HomeSense products were truly beautiful and quirky and I would have happily carted the whole lot off home if I could.

The product range focused on metallics with shades of bronze, copper, silver and gold; there was a strong focus on natural features – antlers, leaves, wolves and deer all featured heavily. The range felt opulent yet rustic and would certainly make a dinner party or Christmas lunch feel truly special. My particular favourite pieces were the two tier serving platters and the wolf head cocktail shaker, although to be honest I really liked all of it! The pieces were all not only beautiful but surprisingly affordable too; I actually happen to do quite a lot of my Christmas present shopping in HomeSense as they have such a wide range of lovely yet inexpensive things and I will definitely be popping in this year in search of gifts (for myself…).

  • This simple, rustic vegan apple cake is new on the blog. It is super easy to make in just one bowl and is moist, lightly spiced and packed full of juicy apples. The perfect cake for snacking on, or try it warm with custard for pudding!

  • I've been quiet on here for a while as I just haven't had the time or energy for social media. Rest assured that I have still been working hard on recipes for the blog however! The latest recipe I have just posted is this vegan version of a traditional German stollen bread. It is rich, moist, studded with fruit, filled with marzipan and full of festive flavours. It is one of my absolute favourite Christmas treats so I'm thrilled to have perfected a vegan one (even if it did take four attempts!). What are your favourite festive bakes that you would like to see a vegan version of?

  • Happy weekend! If you fancy a weekend baking project then might I suggest this absolutely delicious vegan mincemeat cake? It is a wonderfully moist and flavorful cake that is great anytime but would also be perfect for using up a jar of mincemeat if you've had one too many mince pies at Christmas. It would also make a lovely alternative to a traditional Christmas cake if you aren't a fan of fruitcake. The recipe is on the blog, link in profile.

On a side note, just want to give a shout out to @blackvelvetstyling who provided the gorgeous 'Earl' backdrop in this photo. I absolutely love Sophie's backdrops, they may be paper but the print quality is amazing and they are totally matte to shoot on (they are also so much more affordable than painted boards!). This one was gifted but I have purchased lots of others and genuinely love them. Well worth checking out if you are in need of new backdrops. 🖤 #bvsbackdrops

  • This amazing vegan lasagna is new on the blog and it is seriously good! A rich mushroom ragu is layered up with a creamy bechamel sauce and sheets of pasta. It is hearty, filling, totally delicious and pretty healthy too! Link in profile.

Also, how lovely is this backdrop from Black Velvet Styling?! @blackvelvetstyling You would never be able to tell that it is actually paper and not a beautiful rustic wooden table!

  • It's not long until Stir Up Sunday (24th nov this year) when you are meant to make your Christmas puddings, cakes and mincemeat, so I have just posted the recipe for this delicious vegan Christmas pudding!

It is rich, moist, boozy and very easy to make. I think that it is just as good as, if not better than, the classic suet and egg laden version! The recipe is on the blog, link in profile. #christmas #christmasrecipes #christmaspudding #stirupsunday #veganchristmas #veganpudding #vegandessert #vegantreats #veganfoodlovers #veganrecipes #veganfoodshare #veganuk #vegansofinstagram #veganeats #still_life_gallery #foodblogfeed #foodandwine #forkyeah #foodblogger #foodartblog #foodlovers #foodfluffer #sweettoothforever #vzcomade #bestofvegan #hautecuisines #feedfeed @thefeedfeed
  • Who did some baking over the weekend? I baked this delicious vegan pumpkin pie! I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin pie but this one has me totally converted, it is incredible and there is no way you would be able to guess that it is eggless and dairy free!
