KISS - Easter Table Styling...

OK - ya all know me...
I don't like complicated, AT ALL!
In fact my all time favourite styling term is KISS.
I heard this mentioned many years ago in an interior design forum,
and I thought OH MY GOSH - KISS IS ABSOLUTELY ME!
KISS means - Keep It Simple Stupid...
(No derogatory pun intended!)
And because life is just so...well...BUSY...
KISS and I have become fabulous friends!
The Easter tablescape follows the KISS styling concept and it all began with:
An aqua coloured table runner for a bright pop of colour.
On top of that I added a antique lace tray runner.
A mason jar vase in blue glass.
Into this some blooms of 'Just Joey' rose...
I'm LOVING the stunning colour contrast of the vibrant orange peach with the aqua.
Around the neck of the vase,
 I tied a bow of stamped linen raw edged ribbon,
 in the same ecru colour as the lace runner.
I left the tails long to drape onto the table.
Add a vintage aqua blue and white spot tiered cake plate filled with mini Easter eggs
(foiled in Aqua of course)...
And a rabbit... 
(Must have bunnies on display at Easter!)
This cute bunny was only $6 from The Warehouse!!
Mia Bella Passions KISS Easter tablescape was complete.
Easy to put together with a few key elements, and completely stress-free!
All I'll need to do to maintain the look, 
 is replenish the eggs as they are devoured...
and freshen the flowers as required.
SO SIMPLE!`
Which leaves me pondering...
How complicated will your Easter decorating be?
Are you tempted to KISS?






St Patrick's Day and a little taste of Irish Coconut Ice....

 Ok - I am fooling with ya all a little....
this is an ordinary coconut ice,
sweet...
delicious...
uncooked...
 and simple to make.
The Irish bit is just the fact it has green colouring added 
to a layer instead of the standard pink!
This delish Coconut Ice is courtesy of BBC Good Food.
It is very easy to make so pop over to get the recipe:

Nothing more perfect 
than a sweet treat to share on 
St Patrick's Day!







A Beautiful St Patrick's Day Proverb....



Choc-caramel Easter Slice

I found this Easter slice recipe on The Bite,
http://www.bite.co.nz/recipe/7137/ChocCaramel-Easter-Slice/
And it promised to be the biggest sweet overload in history with an almond chocolatey cake base,
gooey caramel filling and chocolate covered malt balls on top of that!
But here's the surprise....
it was sweet... but nicely so...
Not at all over the top as one might have expected,
and sooooo delicious!
The caramel was a little gooey,
  but adding longer cooking time will firm it up without a problem. 
Printable recipe is over at the Bite - http://www.bite.co.nz/recipe/7137/ChocCaramel-Easter-Slice/
For your Easter dessert display, 
add candles...
 And serve the Choc-caramel Easter Slices on brown paper, 
on a worn wooden chopping board.
Feathers always add to the fun!
