"Princess To Be" Kate

Kate Middleton is living every

little girl's dream...to marry a prince...

This princess-to-be is no frumpy maiden though...

actually quite the opposite...

a beauty with her own fabulous style & grace...

We all know...

A lot of the outfits she wears

remind me of what Princess Diana wore

and we all know she had impeccable taste...

She can go from formal...

to fun...

to traditional and iconic...

And of course

no princess would be complete without a crown...

Congratulations Kate...

We wish you the best!

Royal Wedding Watching Tea Party

I'm just loving this tea party

designed & styled by Bird's Party...

The colors are whimsical...

The decorations...delightful...
Perfect for getting up early to watch the royal wedding...

Doesn't the food look sweet & yummy?




I'm smitten with these spoons...

Love the ribbon on the tea pot...

What's a princess party without a little bling?

Fancy Frocks

With the royal wedding being this week

I've been in the "I want to be a princess" mode...

Then I could wear these lovelies...

 If I could have my designer of choice
it would definitely be Marchesa...
Everything she creates is exquisite!
Like above & below...

 Simple elegance...

Gorgeous bold statement...

 Fit for a princess...

 Dreamy...

 Classic vintage romantic...

A girl can dream...can't she?

What would you like to wear if you were a princess?

Celebrating With Cookies

Remember the FCAT test 

that my students & daughter had to take?

Well Goosie Girl's fabulous teacher 

suggested that they celebrate the end of it with a party...

(I knew I loved her)...

So Goosie Girl begged me to make cookies...

She said that her class was asking for me to make them...

How could I say no to that?

So I did...simple but sweet...

Donning An Apron

Are you an apron kind of girl?

I am at times but if I had one of these 

I'd definitely be donning one...

 I think the reason I love these so much

 is because they look like sundresses...

You know Mother's Day is coming up...

Wouldn't these make the perfect gift?

June Cleaver would be jealous...

Order yours here...

Turquoise & Pink Pretties

There is just something quite pretty about

turquoise & pink, don't you think?

Classy, soothing, inviting, delightful...

How about this tablescape?

Divine!

And these bedrooms...
I could dream in these all day!

Flower pretties...

Goosie Girl fun...

And of course there always must be cupcakes
added in to the mix...

Wishing you a day filled with all your favorite pretties!

Thursday Loves...

I've been feeling very under the weather

with this cold thingy that I've got going on...

So here is some inspiration that has helped...

This is better than any medicine...

Is this peach cake gorgeous or what?!

Do you remember these?

I used to use this in middle school

(which was called junior high...)

 Just love, love, love...

Absolutely adore these!

Perfect size, perfect look, just perfect...

Doesn't this look so inviting?
Loving that tiered basket...

 I do!

Spring Centerpieces

With the weather getting warmer...

Easter on its way...

and Spring entertaining getting ready to hit full speed...

here are a few simple, yet classy, centerpieces

that would look lovely gracing any table...

First up, simple elegance...

But what a statement...

Perhaps you might like to get a little creative

and add some flowers to the fruit...

(I do this quite a bit & it is gorgeous!)...

For Easter, take some dried branches

and add some pretty decorative eggs...
click here for the complete how-to

And now, my most favorite of all...

You and your guests will be swooning!

*A helpful hint...

When you need more than a few dozen flowers,

it is cheaper to place an order for however many

you need rather than to buy them prepackaged...

I usually go to Publix and they are most helpful!

Enjoy!

Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (aka FCAT)...

She was embellishing her flip flops...

I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday...

Good luck to all those taking their FCAT!

This is my most favorite dessert table EVER...

Perfect idea for a driveway happy hour...
