Jam Tea Party by Marcelo

 I just LOVE tea parties. We don't need a special celebration to do it.

When we have a great inspiration, that's awesome!

Looking my journal materials, I found a stamp set I bought some years ago, There was a little jar stamp in this set. It gave me a super inspiration: JAMs! 

Well, why not create a Jam Tea Party? YES!

At First, I created the special jar, the "major character" of this decoration.

After that I needed an invitation for my special friends!

The table  was like this: colorful, with few flowers. 

The placeholder was a little jam jar (in the end, the person could take it home as a party favor). 

I also create a little recipe book as a party favor (we are talking about a jam tea party, so some recipes would be shared there). I love this idea!

I hope you like it!

I made a little video for you...

Easter with flowers - "I Fiory di Miky" by Marcelo

I´m back!
OMG... How I miss you all!

I want to show you my Easter decoration for this year.

To do it, I need to tell a little tale, called "I Fiory di Miky" (Miky´s flowers in italian).
When I wrote this tale, I was inspired by my collection of dried roses - wreaths and bouquets.

I love to tell stories. I can imagine a child listening this tale and enjoying this decoration...

This is Miky, the artist hare!

Miky is all over the decoration! 

Delicious cupcakes...

And this bathtub full of flowers...

I choose the colors: brown, light blue and yellow for this decoration (inspired by the stones of my garden and the dried roses).

I bought this vintage hare at an antique market and made this crown in cardboard and the tie in vintage ribbon. This is Lepronius - the Emperor!

The eggs - handpainting, decoupage, personalized monogram and logo.

And Miky, of course!

I couldn´t forget to use an antique teacup from my personal collection...
(I love the napkin folded as a bunny ears)

And this is the complete result!
"I Fiori di Miky" - my tale has become real!

Thank you for visiting... I wish you a Happy Easter!!!

Sweet Easter!

Our 2013 Easter Tea Party was so cute!
I was inspired by colors, our garden and candies...

I put a lot of different elements on the table... 

 Look this pretty "Little green house teapot": 

This amazing bunny was a gift from my partner. I wanted to use it at an Alice´s Tea Party (from Wonderland, of course) but this tablescape deserved to be awesome. So... here it is! 

And the best part: sweets!

Minicake:

Squarcelle, a traditional recipe from south Italy:

And chocolate Easter eggs - filled with chocolate ganache and orange cream!
(the bunnies are made with sugar paste and marshmallow)

I want to know what do you think about our Easter Tea Party!

Thanks for visiting my blog! :D

Bonsais and Sea Treasures Birthday Party

Today is Michele´s Birthday. He loves sea shells, starfishes and bonsais - so I made a tablescape with his passions!

I made the cake... so yummy! Tones of greens and flower petals.

We have a big collection of sea treasures (I have to make a special post for it). And I used some pieces for decorate.

Michele loved the decoration, the cake and the homage. I hope you like it too!
