Easter, Carnival Glass, and Roses

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter ! I pretty much went wild and either called or texted all of my friends from America while we were on our way to my mother inlaw’s house for dinner. Matt’s family does some amazing things with sweet potatoes. Someday I’ll have to get around to asking for a recipe or two, although my cooking is absolutely horrible !

Lately I have been feeling creative. I felt inspired by this lady’s idea to take an ordinary pot and sponge a bit of paint onto it using a stencil. Of course mine didn’t turn out as well… but the sloppiness adds a little something, I think! There is always more room for improvement.

I used little Easter egg ornaments that I found at Micheal’s to decorate the little roses. Yes, that is a surround sound speaker behind the flower pot. Yes, that is a plush poo. And yes, the flower pot is ontop of a subwoofer – probably not the best place for it

I’m pretty stoked. The Carnival glass fruit bowls that belonged to my great grandmother came in the mail all in one piece. Now I can finally relax. I’m always a bit nervous when fragile things are shipped, especially antique heirlooms! I think it makes for a lovely Easter display. The bowls remind me of tulips.

Sweet Valentines

My Valentine’s Day this year was wonderful

! I received a heart shaped box filled my favourite sweets – marzipan, a gorgeous 3 carat diamond ring from my husband, and a sweet little card from my dear friend, Sven. Even the dogs got some gourmet treats!
