Pancake Party Styling From Amy Osaba

Who’s ready for a pancake party?! Today’s shrove tuesday and individuals love their pancakes today so I thought I would share a beautifully styled occasion by Amy Osaba with a fabulous stack of pancake tiers as a cake! That bottle of sweet peach liquid looks interesting, I want to taste it! I am so impressed with these pancakes, how did they get them so beautiful and completely round!? If this was my pancake celebration my stack would be layered with chocolate chips and banana slices!

The flowers in these vintage style bottles are a gorgeous touch, the colours marrying beautifully with the crockery in the background! The tones and hues are so basic and elegant. The flowers on the pancake stack looked beautifully delicate too. ^_^ Rancunulus are a single of my favourite flowers and this is definitely lovely!

How fabulous does this table appear!? With sugared almonds, cherries, lemon curd and gorgeous pink glass tumblers. I would be in pancake celebration heaven. The flower arrangement in this table-scape is full of gorgeous ranunculus, fluffy peonies and gorgeous greeneries!

All of the small particulars are absolutely beautiful! I need to admit that I don’t entirely recognize the honeycomb addition but I like the punched confetti and decor surrounding it. I am absolutely in enjoy with the linen table cloth also, the texture is just gorgeous.

What an completely gorgeous bouquet of flowers! The torn ribbons keeping it all with each other in a variety of subtle hues that match the pancake party perfectly just took my breath away! I could look at these flowers all day.

Are you celebrating/acknowledging shrove tuesday or pancake tuesday? I don’t generally but if I smell pancakes I won’t say no! As mentioned above… chocolate chips and banana slices are my favourite pancake accompaniment so there much better be plenty in the cupboards!

Amy Osaba designs some superb events so be sure to cease by her weblog and appreciate.

Couture #3

At this point I'd like to say a few things.

Yes, these fashions are exquisite. I'm talking about the talent of the designers of the clothing, fabrics and the seamstresses. Just the construction of these fashions takes a lot of experience and talent and time.

While salivating over the beauty here, I must say I'm pretty astounded at how fashion has become so immodest. I recently saw a model in a dress that was nude on one side all the way down. I knew it was nude and not just flesh-colored fabric because the breast and private area were clearly visible. This is high-fashion?!

I'm naturally a modest person but my religion highly promotes modesty. I wouldn't have it any other way. My body is private for me and my hubby.

Years ago, in Berkeley, California, a male student attended classes in the nude. He was told to get some clothes on. He then sued the University and won. Now, what does that say about our society when nudity is allowed in a public institution, but any semblance of God is not allowed? Even if you're not religious, there has to be some concern for societal indifference to nudity where children can see it. I don't want to hear about "yeah, but the body is beautiful" or anything like that. Yes, our bodies are beautiful but we don't have to flaunt every single thing we've got to the whole world. There is a sacredness about our bodies. Even most of these fashions I couldn't wear because my undergarments would show. I think they're gorgeous but I'd never wear any of them or, at least, very few of them. I never wear anything sleeveless unless I have a jacket or shirt over my dress or tank top. I wear long dresses mostly but I wouldn't wear anything much above my knees. These are just my standards and I don't impose my standards to the world. I wear clothing that my church suggests we wear for modesty. No mandatory rules here, just what we know to be modest and not salacious. But I'm seeing so many teens and moms wearing things that years ago we'd never even think of wearing. Tops that leave nothing to the imagination. Skirts so short I can see up their dresses to their underwear when in a restaurant sitting down. It saddens me greatly.

Enjoy this batch of luscious couture!

The Rosette Party

It's time for The French Cupboard's Rosette Party. Join in the fun with so much eye candy you'll have your sugar fix for a month! Just click on the logo over here --------->
and go to all the participants.

For those of you who have never been to my blog before I have an admission: I love roses. Yep, it's true. I am also a very froufrou-y chick. My house is very feminine. My hubby, Love Bunny, is a retired Marine and lives in a pink house. I spend as much spare time as possible making flowers of just about any material: paper, coffee filters, fabric, ribbon, ANY thing I can. Below you will see some of them. Just about every single item below is handmade by me. Only a few aren't and those are stated above the photo. If I need some kind of accessory for a shirt or jacket, I whip it up in just a few minutes. Take a look and enjoy. And if you have any interest, look just below my banner/logo above and click on my House, Office, Studio, etc. to view my home. I truly doubt you'll be disappointed. :-)

This one was a gift from a friend.

The ones on this lamp were purchased many years ago.

I purchased these also.

These are vintage millinery flowers I made as clip-ons for my high heels.

This pair of shoes I bought at Macy's and the roses came on them.
