Easter Egg Cake, Flowers & More
Easter is not far away and like any other celebration holiday,
we start preparations weeks in advance.
The first fun activity done was to create painted eggs.
This year 'Miss four' assisted.
Her colour choice of paint was pink and purple.
The eggs are polystyrene foam eggs which were purchased from 'Dollar Value' craft section.
Emilee Rose's eggs were placed into an egg carton and used on the Easter table display.
We added a glass vase of pretty flowers with a ripped rag fabric knotted bow.
Some nests and birds eggs.
And jars of mini Easter eggs.
The flowers are gerberas and chrysanthemums.
I love to collect found nests and eggs...
I think they are incredibly beautiful!
But these eggs in this nest are actually crafted by a potter.
The painted eggs are also hanging from a branch with more found nests mingled in between.
Jars of mini eggs greet visitors to 'Mia Bella Passions homestead',
as this table is right by the front entrance.
Every year we bake an Easter cake.
What's your Easter tradition?
This years cake was a banana cake.
You'll find the Classic Banana Cake recipe HERE.
A simple cake completely overloaded with chocolate toppings!
Eggs, bunnies and flake.
Nom NOM NOM!

Vintage Newspaper Covered Books....❥
It was time to change up the fabric-covered books on my shelf display.
I had a red theme going on, and it's been like that since 2016!
That's such a LONG TIME!
How did I miss changing this before now?
I'll be removing the fabric to recover them in the vintage paper.This is why I used sellotape in the original fabric covering.
So I could easily take it off and reuse the books.
You can read the original post about the red themed fabric covered books HERE.
Years ago I found a very old newspaper and it's been in my cupboard 'might make something with you' stash since.
The newspaper is from 1946, so it is extremely fragile.
That's why I opted for photocopying the pages so I could still use the interesting font and vintage images for the book covering project.
Also, I wanted black and white not the worn yellow aged paper as it was.
Well that's the same technique I used.
Held in place by sellotape.
Held in place by sellotape.
Book stack now in vintage themed black and white font and images,
with my favourite little Wade England scroll handle vase atop.Love, Love Love!
