A Subtle Revelry

A Subtle Revelry
Easter is one of the holidays that has become a whole lot more fun with little kids in the picture. Eggs, bunnies, and their crazy joy over the simplest of things makes my heart burst this time of year. My girl and I spent an afternoon in the kitchen this weekend testing and creating a few fun recipes for Kraft that I am excited to share this week. This first rendition is our take on their classic angel flake coconut cake. Although, we followed the recipe to a T (and loved it!), there is nothing classic about the presentation of our cakes.

angry chicken I am very excited to be selling 2 new products in my etsy shop! A Cleansing Oil and Facial Toner. Both 100% organic. A l'ombre du marronnier I don't care for what Facebook does to my sanity, my time or my image. Before I dive into explaining all that, please don't take this personally if you're someone that enjoys Facebook. These are simply my ideas and experiences with the site. I don't aim to be a know it all on the subject. I simply am sharing my thoughts because I don't want those of you that have seen me pop in there to wonder what happened.

Lemonade Goodies: Part 2 Because you know I can’t get enough of labels (particularly the French vintage kind ), here’s a few more to incorporate bright and happy as ‘lemonade’ into your celebration. And for some Tuscan (Provence?) For The Love Of (Free) Labels Part 1 Oh yes, I just can’t get enough of them. Just search free labels on the blog and you’ll see what I mean, hehe. So to my fellow label whor hoarders out there, here’s another roundup of some of my faves for your downloading pleasure. All Things Lovely I am little obsessed with Instagram at the moment, especially since I'm doing the Photo A Day challenge. Friends sometimes ask what apps I use for all my photos so I thought I'd share my favourites. This isn't a sponsored post, just my favourite and most used apps. I take the majority of my photos just with the camera on the iPhone. I never use the camera in the Instagram App, and will only edit my photos in Instagram if I'm in a hurry. I do love the Brannan filter though.

Make Bracelets: Video Up-cycled Beaded Silk Wrap Bracelet Tutorial Irish Linen Sparkly Wrap Bracelet Tutorial Beaded Wrap Bracelet – Waxed Irish Linen Tutorial DIY vintage inspired baubles Last week I showed you the vintage Christmas tree decorations that I bought from Sunbury antiques market and on Sunday I showed you the gorgeous vintage Christmas tree decorations from Citrus and Orange and Loretoidas. Inspired by all these vintage baubles I decided to paint cheap plastic silver baubles with nail polish and dust them in vintage glitter to match my Vintage Christmas theme. I love how the polish gives them a worn look but still gives them a little shimmer and is a great way to use up old nail polish! I was also lucky enough to find some old metal glitter in my craft boxes which adds to their vintage look. If you can't find metal glitter try using a course glitter instead.

Beaded snowflakes To match my Vintage Christmas theme in a colour palette of snowy white, pale rose, vintage pink, icy mint, faded aqua, mushroom and lots of glamorous gold. I have made a cluster of glamorous, shimmery, sparkly beaded snowflakes. Here's how... Paper Rosettes The lovely peeps at new craft store Mushi Makes also sent me Tildas star tissue paper in grey brown. So to match my Vintage Christmas theme I have started making paper rosettes in the pretty tissue paper. Some to hang on my white Christmas tree and some smaller ones as cake toppers!
