The Table is Set! {Easter inspiration} ~ Update

Happy Monday! Well Easter is almost here, I am sure many of you have your plans for entertaining that day ready to go! We hope to add some inspiration & ideas for you to add to those plans, and if you haven't thought about it yet, well read on! All this week you will find posts everyday with recipes & how-to's!

I always love to set a table when I am entertaining whether I am serving everyone as a sit down & buffet style. How about you? Do you like to bring out your best or just a few things that you enjoy & want others to enjoy? I believe a set table sets the tone for what your guest will encounter & it is a fun way of decorating for your party.

Yesterday, I got together with Jane from The Garden Girls at her house to put together lots of Easter Inspiration for you! Also, Rebecca from the fantastic Fresh Chick Studio designed party circles with religious symbols for us to celebrate Easter! Thank you again Rebecca! I appreciate everything you do!

Cupcakes & Tea for the Mama To Be {Preview}

I am so excited to share part of the pictures with you from the shabby chic baby sprinkle that I baked, styled & hosted this past weekend. The Mama to be is having her second child but 1st daughter. We knew she was going to need baby girl clothes so we asked the guests to bring baby girl outfits and we created a clothesline that was gifted to her!

The theme was shabby chic tea as I mentioned! I have been wanting to do this theme for a long time, ever since I was gifted my grandmother's china & then to use with many little things that I have collected over the years! Everything looked so wonderful! I was even able to borrow a few vintage things from my Mom & Aunt to really make everything perfect! I'll share a lot of photo's in my next post!

This is the first post I will do, this one I am sharing the entry buffet table!

Enjoy, indulge & I hope you are inspired by these photo's!

A tea tray I created with a tea pot, meyer lemons, a tea cup &

2 vases one a milk ware vase borrowed

from my Mom filled with pink roses & tulips

Buffet table in the entry way.

I bought the frame from Pier 1 imports and

added pink rose ribbon & rose buds to the clips to make it girly.

Everyone left sweet notes for the the Mama to be.

S'More Pancakes

Happy Monday!

I want to share a simple yet scrumptious pancake how-to with you that I made this weekend.

This pancake is perfect, I am not much of a pancake eater but this pancake I didn't share it is that delish!

What you need~

Pancake Batter

Chocolate Chips

Graham cracker crumbs

Marshmallow fluff

Syrup

A sweet tooth!

Make your favorite pancake batter and get your pan ready. Have the chocolate chips & graham cracker crumbs ready to top as soon as you pour the pancakes into pan.

Pour the pancakes then drop a few chocolate chips and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on the top of the pancakes that are cooking. When they are ready to flip do so and finish cooking them. As soon as they come out of the pan, spoon the desired amount of fluff onto the pancake. Top with syrup and serve your s'more pancakes!

Thanks again for everything!

Peace, Love & S'More Pancakes!
