Easy Easter Decorating Idea

Are you looking for a fun, simple idea to dress-up your Easter table?  If so, this is the perfect way to add a little something without a lot of fuss.  Even plain water bottles or glasses can be decorated for Easter!  How cute is this band with a friendly bunny face!

How to do it:
Draw and cut out the pattern, print the bunny stencils on pretty wrapping paper, then cut out. With a black marker draw eyes, nose, and a happy smiling mouth. Connect and secure the ends together with a transparent adhesive.
The ends can be of any length to fit for a vase, for example.

BUT WHAT SHOULD I WEAR???

How many times have you asked yourself or your friends that question when getting ready to go to the party...ugh!! I was admiring my BFF the other day (as I often do)...she hosts a morning TV show and always looks so perfectly put together with the right necklace, the right earrings and the right bracelet and I always wear the same old jewelry so I decided "NO MORE!" I may not be on TV but there is no reason I can't look like I am!! I discovered Stella & Dot and I must confess I have fallen in LOVE; they have the most stylish jewelry at incredible prices and since I have started wearing it people stop me all the time to ask me where I got it...you can turn the simplest of outfits into something chic!! I can honestly say that it makes me feel so put together when I wear it with such a minimal effort. Who doesn't love that?!?!?

They are the perfect pieces for that baby shower, bridal shower or just grabbing dinner with the girls.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Raw Bars are the NEW Rage!

Hey Brides or Party Planners - Check out this new, healthy idea for your wedding.  Event planners, Josh Tierney,Co-Director of Style and Design at Great Performances says, "this cocktail hour staple doesn’t have to be messy melting blocks of ice, stringy seaweed, and thoughtless piles of seafood.  “The raw bar can be a clean, elegant, cocktail-hour friendly presentation. Instead of piles of shrimp and oysters, we’ve created a ‘grab n’ go’ seafood presentation, featuring small plates of oysters on a bed of sea salt and individual shrimp cocktail shooters in clear glass votive holders,” he says.

“Accent the menu with a condiment bar: Cocktail, mignonette, lemons, and horseradish presented in martini, highball, and rocks glasses. Miniature bottles of Tabasco sauce will complete the look,” adds Tierney.

Have floral arrangements peppered across the raw bar, with colors complimenting the seafood, to help enhance the overall statement and specialty rental furniture to “push the look from ho-hum catering hall, to one-of-a-kind, urban sophistication.”.
