A touch of whimsy. A taste of Alice. A sweet tea party. A lovely garden. Mismatched china. A delight!

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Sunday, April 25, 2010

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me...
~Kahn-Schwandt-Andre~

Lavender Lovely

Thursday, April 15, 2010

Lavender is so lovely. Purple and lavender are still very HOT colour pairings this wedding season. I've been designing so much with purple and lavender that when I had a bride come in wanting orange I had a to pause a moment,run to the store and just gaze at some oranges for a while....just so I could envision the colour!
I love the paper wrapped pears as a wedding favour. What a wonderful idea and so easy to co-ordinate with your wedding colours. You could do that with pretty much any hard fruit. Also, that fluffy lavender dress LOVE.

Happy Easter!

Thursday, April 1, 2010

I LOVE Easter. I love everything about it. It makes me think of sundresses and bonnets on babies,daffodils and daisy chains,painted eggs and chocolate. All good right?
My children are teenagers and I still hide eggs for them.I have to be really tricky now.Evil tricky.They love it. I think they would be disappointed if I said, "Right.You are just too old for this." Certainly, there would be a staged protest. We have a new house with a new garden. This means new, tricky hiding places.Evil hiding places. Mwaahaaaa!!
I just asked my kids if they were ready for the Easter egg hunt. My son says to his little sister,"You are going down!" She replies, "Prepare to die!"
Yes. I LOVE Easter!!
