hopping down the bunny trail....

Yay hooray, today is my Friday! So ready for a weekend of forced family fun and Easter goodness.

Going to be a house guest this weekend? take some festive spring  colored  macarons to your host
guaranteed to be a hit!

Set your table with a nod to the fluffy bunny by using carrots and lettuce leaves in your floral arrangements

Why skimp on the current trends? Color-blocking is all the rage in fashion but it works for eggs too!

A very sophisticated take on Easter cupcakes! i love the spun sugar nests...however I opted to order Georgetown Cupcakes' Easter cupcakes because I'm lazy

Easter doesn't have to be all pastels...Go bold- be patient and let those eggs sit in the dye to get a bright bold coloring

Abstract eggs...a step up from the old white crayon trick- use rubber cement  to achieve this cool effect

Got some fabric scraps? use them to cover  cans to make a festive tablescape!

Here's hopping the fluffy bunny finds your basket!

hope: verb. to cherish a desire with anticipation

I find it fitting that the color most often used to symbolize hope is yellow...I have been hoping with my whole heart that spring is coming soon and we are past winter's harsh grasp. And despite Monday night's snow in DC, I got my first sign of hope yesterday...in the form of blooming Jasmine cascading down a front wall.
 In your home yellow can help lend a sense of happiness and cheerfulness while softer more buttery shades give a more calming happy feel.

And leave it to mother nature to give us yellow's perfect partner...green. Green is a secondary color smooshed in-between yellow and blue on the color wheel; this gives green a unique characteristic of taking the calming qualities of blue while still holding onto the energy of yellow. Being analogous colors (next to each other on the wheel) they go really well together and are an easy combination for color harmony.
