As the Mad Hatter has so boldly stated…”It’s always tea time.” I agree. And for some reason, tea always tastes better in a tea cup.
This Easter, I decided to bring out my collection of tea cups. The one below is one of my favourites. I can’t remember where I picked this up from, but it sure is a beauty. Tea cups can easily turn a simple cup of tea into a very very special cup of tea. All of notes and fragrances of my chamomile tea all of sudden come alive. They dance on my tongue and fill my head with beautiful floral aromas. Ahhh! So delightful.
And of course, a little faberge cookie on the side. My hubby and I picked these cookies up this past weekend from the St. Jacob’s Market. They are so delicious. I fell in love with the shiny gold detailed frosting and gold beads, which are edible. The thought of eating gold is just so cool! (I’m not entirely sure if there is any gold, but it is a good thought!)
Hope you enjoy your Easter weekend! Spring is finally here!
Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day on this chilly February day!
I made these adorable little felt heart pins this past week for this special day. They are so sweet.
The project is from the Purl Bee. They are so easy to make and very cute to wear!
If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good looking cake pedestal. A cake does not look complete until it’s on it’s pedestal.
These gorgeous cake pedestals are designed by Clara French. I love the dripping glaze. It looks like dripping icing.
Now this is a tea party I would love to be invited to! I love everything in this photo…down to the gilded framed mirrors. And I’ve got the perfect apron for this gathering. It just happens to match the cushions on the couch. Parfait!
Audrey Apron :: Pink Roses
I would like to introduce to you the Milly Apron. This is the prettiest apron out of my entire apron collection. It is sweet and pretty.
This apron was inspired by my Grandma Lucas. Her name was Mildred and she always wore an apron. She was a very special lady. Very sweet, patient, loving and very pretty.
When designing this apron, I had my Grandma in my mind and in my heart. With this apron, I wanted to portray sweet and pretty…which she was.
The curved hemline adds an element of sweetness. And I love using bold floral patterns for the main fabric. That’s what makes the apron so pretty. Sweet and pretty.
The pocket is gathered at the opening. This little detail adds another element of sweetness. As well, I positioned the pocket on a perfect angle. By doing this the pocket can actually be used. I try my very best to make my aprons comfortable to wear. And this pocket really is at the perfect angle.
And don’t you just love that bow? The waistband and bow is in a coordinating fabric and it really finishes off the apron.
So there you have it. The Milly Apron. She’s a beauty!
