So on Easter saturday we set up a sweet little first birthday for a client's daughter. In our haste, we forgot to bring our camera to get some proper pictures, but thank goodness for iPhone and Instagram ;) The client wanted a pretty dessert table using the colours pink and purple. She had loved the doilies used on this table here and had requested something similar. The lighting wasn't amazing as it was under a tent, but you get the idea!
Have a lovely day!

There's a charming little store that's opened up not far from where i live called Little Love and Happiness. I stumbled on it a few months back and was instantly in love. Georgina , the creator of this delight has managed to throw together new with old, art with vintage, designer with antique, home-wears with floristry....and she has done it beautifully. The store is only tiny, yet i could still spend a decent amount of time there gazing at all the little treasures. From scrabble pieces to handmade treasures to stunning bouquets....my only criticism would be that it's almost impossible to leave empty handed!
Georgina's floristry style leans more towards loose, hand-picked-from-the-garden style....arrangements that seem to be inspired by the wild beauty of nature. She will often surprise with extra elements such as an orange half or "Cows Udders" (as seen in the bouquets above and below). Recently i had the opportunity to put Georgina's talents to use on a party we styled, and couldn't have been happier with the results! The bouquets were gorgeous and so colourful. Heres a little look...
You can find Little love and Happiness here and here.

Hello there! How was your Easter? Ours was spent with friends and family eating way too much good food and and enjoying way to many sweets (oh my!).
We also had a sweet little first Birthday party to set up on Easter Saturday. Unfortunatley, we forgot to bring our camera, but i will share some instagramed pics soon :). This week we are finalising the details for this party. Can't wait to see it all put together! I think it will be one of my favourite parties that we've worked on.
We hope you all had a lovely Easter!

If your looking for some last minute DIY Easter ideas, here's a quick and easy little tute for you. These little egg carton flowers would make sweet little favours for your Easter guests, or you could make some as gifts for any friends or family you might be visiting! I made two for our Easter brunch table, and it only took me about 20 minutes. This is also a fun one to do with the kiddies, and really....who says you can only do this for Easter? It would make a cute little decoration for any time of the year!
Hope your enjoying your long weekend!

I've been looking for some yummy recipes for Good Friday. I wanted to make dinner and then wrap it up and have a picnic in the park somewhere with the Mr. and the kiddies and maybe some good friends as well. Doesn't that sound yummy, a nice home-baked dinner in the park? I've found a few (ahem) good recipes and now i just have to decide which one i will make. I thought i'd share them with you. There's quite a lot here to choose from!
Roasted green beans with Balsamic and Parmesan
And heres some yummy yummy desserts....
Lemon cake with Blueberry icing
The hard part is going to be deciding which ones to make! Hope your all looking forward to a lovely Easter weekend :)

I really want to have a cute little Easter egg hunt inspired solely by this invitation...
Can you picture it? Cute bunting hanging from trees...
Little white baskets decorated with these tags...
or these...
or these....
Little girls running around in sweet Easter frocks...
Little boys in bow ties and suspenders....
There would be a gorgeous dessert table all laid out with sweet treats , akin to one of these...
Cupcakes topped with more sweetness...
And maybe even a cake that looks like this...
or this one...
Picture picnic blankets, sun streaming through the trees, sipping soda-pop out of cute little vintage jars, relaxing with friends and family and children's laughter all around. That's what i think of when i think of Easter. How do you envision your perfect Easter?

PS. Heres some ideas from last years Easter.
Katie Daisy has forever been one of my favourite artists. Her work is just stunning. I have been coveting some of her prints for awhile now. So i was really excited when i found out she (along with 7 other artists) now has an iPhone app!
You can find it here. I've already got mine, and i've been having fun sending cute little messages to anyone i can think of!

Planning another table....this one is for a 60th Birthday Party. This is the starting point for our colour inspiration....
and this...
They've chosen the venue, which is none other than the House of Gabriel {only one of our favourite little places to go for lunch}. This won't be the first time we've planned a table there, but that doesn't surprise us as it's such a beautiful place to have a party....so picturesque! We're sure it won't be the last one we do there either :)
These were the invitations that Zina did for the party. Our client wants bright colours like orange and yellow with dashes of pink or red. It's not a colour combination we've worked with before, but we sure are looking forward to the challenge!
We love this stage of planning a dessert table!

Wow, that's almost a tongue twister! Can you say it 10 times fast? ;)
Maybe it's the because it's getting cooler, maybe it's because Easter is slowly approaching, or maybe my inner girlie girl is just wanting to come out. Whatever the reason, i find myself oddly attracted to pastels lately....
What's inspiring you lately?
