Gwyneth Paltrow's Easter Lunch Table Setting

Easter is nearly here and this weekend is the perfect time to start planning your Easter lunch.  I'm going to be taking my inspiration from Gwyneth Paltrow and her table scape she created for Remodelista (PS - I have such a big crush on Gwyneth, please can we be BFFs?)  She choose a fresh take on traditional and the colour palate of robin's egg blue, lilac, pale pink and white.  There are SO MANY details I love  - the egg name tags, the potted pansies in the bowl and the long tapered candles.  I mean seriously, it is so beautiful!!! What inspiration are you picking up on for your Easter table?

Simple And Easy Valentines Idea For This Weekend

Valentines is just around the corner and this weekend is the perfect time to be preparing a little something for your loved one.  For The Big A and I, we don't like to buy presents, instead it's all about doing or making something special for the other one.  Some of my fav presents have been surprising him with a morning tea pack at work that I freshly baked and couriered over to him.  Another year, I left a helium heart balloon attached to his favourite lollies out the front of his work for him to find.  This year I've got the hankering to bake a little pie and then pack it up cutely like this goody?
