English Afternoon Tea Table Decoration

At some point I had to replace the „Easter“ decoration with something new. So here it is. All themed around traditional English „Afternoon Tea“ with lot´s of vintage china, roses and lace. I just love all of the romantic details. The colour palette is with soft pastels and all of the sweet little details leave me once again planning another fabulous tea party soon. The only thing missing are the cakes so I better start baking.

Crochet Flower Wreath

After so many nice reaction on the Crochet Flower Garland with over 2500 pic views on Flickr, I felt encouraged by you and by the upcoming warm spring weather (really now, I promise) to continue the „series“. So here´s the latest, my „Sweet Spring Crochet Flower Wreath“ I am very proud of. If you look closely enough you even see some cute little animals living there. I count the happy mushroom that my hubby’s sister brought to life as an animal.

Best B’day Ever

Long planned and well prepared was today my birthday party. I have seen this funny pop-up cake stall on the internet and was eager to build one of my own. Wood and colours I got from the DIY store in the Netherlands and I am proud to be able to show it today. Fully loaded with cakes and stuff.

Pop-Up Cake Stall

I finished the cakes yesterday and the guests had to decide between caramel brownies, cherry-raspberry-coconut slices or leopard print cake or peanut butter or banofee pie or rhubarb streusel or three chocolate cake. Hmmm, I for myself love the cherry vanilla custard tart. Yummy sunday to you, too and thanks all of the friends for today’s visit. As I said: Best B’day ever.

Crochet Flower Garland

Well, I really have had to hurry with this garland! Since the weather forecast says that the winter is coming back later today with lot of snow and minus temperatures again – I wanted to keep the spring feeling and hang my new garland in the window.

It was raining the whole day yesterday so I had enough time to put all the flowers together and decorate everything…I am gonna try to ignore the snow and think forward of all the warm days that will come very soon! have a nice sunday to all of you! I will do that too, maybe with some cake in the left hand and a nice hot cuppa tea in the other.

New Bunting & Vintage Table Runner

Oh my gosh, it seems like forever, since I posted some pictures on my lovely website. The reason for that was not, that I am the laziest person in the world, no, I was really down with the flu, but it seems like everybody has that at the moment. But Friday was the first day, when I felt a little better and I immediately turned into crafty-Andrea.

Vintage Table Runner

I can show you my new bunting, made out of different sized doilies and my new tablerunner, made out of left over fabrics and lace. I dyed everything with black tea before I got started, to get a more vintage outcome and the different patterns and colours would be closer together and match nicely.

To turn the Saturday into the best day since weeks, the sun was shining and I could enjoy the first latte with marble cake sitting outside in the sun! love that!
