Black and White

The trays lined with paper, ribbon, and lace are beautiful. Just a touch of seafoam color to this black and white pallet makes a beautiful display. The print, the bows, the lace ....
There is so much to look at here, and to taste ... I'd be for tasting those white chocolate covered mini oreos ... great idea.

This Vintage-Gothic Wedding Dessert Table is from Hostess with the Mostess

Oh My!

My first thought when I saw these photos were of course all about how beautiful the look was, but the very next thought was "I wonder how much this cost?"

Okay, so I'll never do this, but Oh My! How Beautiful is this!!!!!
Larger photos (that show the look in a more beautiful way) are found at Preston's Blog



This shot makes it seem more like a fairy tale come true.


Marble Jewelry

These look cool! I found them on pinterest and looked into it. Here's what I found from craftster.org

"These are marbles that I fried, well actually baked causing them to crack on the inside but still remain intact on the outside, so I glued end caps to them with starter rings and created some beautiful pendants. I was going to drill through them and make beads, but as we make mistakes we learn. I learned that I should probably drill the marbles before I crack them, otherwise they fall apart when trying to drill through cracked glass."



"It's really quite easy the best method I found for getting the most cracks is to bake the marbles on a cookie sheet at about 325 - 350 for 20 minutes, as soon as you take them out of the oven put them in a metal bowl or sink of cold water and ice. I used plain marbles usually found in the floral department of crafting stores. Any colored marble will work as long as it is translucent, the marbles that are fully colored like toy marbles are kind of useless because the cracks won't show up. This also works with glass stones."

A Lovely Attraction

For some reason I have been attracted to the pink and gold color pallet lately.
I have posted some pink and gold in earlier posts,
HERE, HERE and HERE,
but I've seen a few more and really love that look.

This is sold, but lovely to look at - a pink and gold Damask Throw Pillow from Etsy



There is a great pink and gold Lady's Vanity but I couldn't copy the photo for my post. If you are into pink and gold, this could be your favorite - click on the link to view it.


And lastly, a beautiful pink and gold sky from flickr (Isn't it beautiful!)



I wonder what colors I'll be attracted to next? I can't hold on to pink and gold forever. A GREEN season is coming up - will that catch my eye?

Maybe I'll drop the pink and keep the gold ...
Just look at this gorgeous cake!
Pink would be beautiful with it, but so would a number of other colors.
I'd love to really see this cake ... not just a picture of it.
From Diva Entertains (There is a pink and gold cake on that post too.)

Timeline Garland

I like this look - the year with a photo ...
A time line garland from Ruffled




This would be cute with photos of the bride and groom through the growing up years, at a 50th anniversary using photos of the couple through the years, birthdays, etc.

How to Fix a Cracked Bowl







Just fill it with something precious and turn the cracked side to the back.
It worked for me! I love it! But then, the bowl itself and everything in it is especially loved by me.
