Easter 2011

outside Table

April is a month that the temperature is always very nice, ideal to celebrate Easter in patio.This year could not be better. This Sunday was perfect to spend the day outside.

Sweet Table

Instead of serving only chocolates this year I decided to also make some cupcakes and cookies. The bird's nest was made with sugar and the eggs are glaced almonds.

Easter's time

One Room - Three styles

One thing I love to do is to move the furniture I have in my house from one place to another. At the porch I normally leave water proof furniture because it's  an open space, but sometimes I like to move some chairs that are on the inside to the outside. In order to accommodate more people I add an ottoman and an hammock,  leaving the room more comfortable. Adding some little details we can turn the space cozier .That makes a huge difference.

At night, when the wind is blowing gently, it's nice to have a  blanket close to us in case  we need it. You can also  change the flowers and put  them in a different vases  that will give  another look to the room. And a nice carpet will give you a final touch.During the day,when I have nothing to do,  it's nice to sit down , listen to the birds singing, feel the wind and see my lavenders growing  at the garden, the same lavenders I use to decorate my porch.

Souvenir to be remembered

These little wood boxes were made as a gift to a young couple after inviting me to be their made of honor. I wanted to give them something special , something made by me and to be remembered forever. I showed them some options and they choose for a little wood box with white ribbons and a flower with a pearl at the top. As you can see below the boxes reminds me a provencal style.

                

I did not know the way  the boxes would be organized but when I came into the room I had a pleasant surprise. The people involved in organizing the party made a good job. They put the boxes at the different antique tables all over the place.
