Easter Inspiration

Source 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

With Easter just over a month away my thoughts have turned to what colour scheme to go for this Easter. As a regular reader of my blog you will know I go all out for Easter and this year should be no different! So whilst I play around with ideas and concepts, today I thought I would share with you some pretty lilac and green Easter ideas from the gorgeous yarn-wrapped bowl to the cute bunny napkin holders.

If you missed it, here's what I did last year!

You can find all the recipes in my kitchen and the craft ideas in my craft room.

Sweet Easter

Spring at Home


This week on Flickr Faves Sunday, instead of my usual mosaic of pictures I wanted to share with you just one gorgeous photo from Sweet Berry Me. I just love the colour and composition of this photo from the pretty egg tree to the glass butter dish filled with chocolate eggs and the beautiful colour in the bird card. Just looking at it makes me want to start crafting and baking  for Easter!

Have a sweet day!

Welcome to Friday Feature. This week I am sharing with you the beautiful Spring-inspired photography of award winning British photographer, Jon Day. Based in Central London, Jon specializes in interiors and lifestyle work.

With all this talk about weddings and the sunny days we have had recently I have started to dream of Spring! I am looking forward to leisurely bike rides along the river as the evenings get lighter, the garden beginning to bloom and a spot of decorating. How about you?

Happy Friday, sweets!
