Planning a Yarn Party

I am always impressed with all the crochet things seeing on Pinterest. I need to work on my crochet skills and was looking for something really easy to start with. First thing were the granny square coasters with 2 colours. Couldn't be too difficult, can they? As they turned out so nice, I was highly motivated and added some pompoms, during watching TV (you can always use pompoms for everything, right?). For the Apple potholder, I started as I would…

Vintage Tassles and Doily Bunting on our Porch

Finally, the weather is like spring, so the front porch can also be decorated 'accordingly'. For the next couple of months I decided to use a curtain of tassles on our front porch that I have torn from all sorts of fabric. Took quiet some time but it was worth it. For the vintage look, I dyed them in black tea. I did the same with the doily bunting.

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.

Vintage Cake Pops Ice Cream Parlour

A friend is having a larger family get together today and asked me for ideas on how to offer little sweet things 'buffet style'. The main focus was: kids should love it. I started by educated guessing that kids like ice cream and colours. Since I am always fascinated by cute things that are a little vintage looking, I came up with this Vintage Cake Pops Ice Cream Parlour. As you know, for me, the idea is not enough. When…

First stop was the always trusted flower…

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. I finished the cakes yesterday and the guests had to decide between caramel brownies, cherry-raspberry-coconut slices or leopard print cake or…
