I want to wish you all a happy Easter and for those of you who celebrate Passover, cheers as well! My spring break is coming to an end, sigh but I am finishing it with a little dinner for my parents. Maria at Fuschia's 18th Century dress blog challenged many of us to incorporate 18th century style in our modern dress, well I have taken it a bit further and have begun to add it to my lifestyle - little things here and there. I love to cook, so I made rolled biscuits, baked a cake and cooked up some southern favorites liberally based on some plantation recipes for black eyed peas and greens. Mother is bringing a family chicken dish. Holidays give me an excuse to decorate the table a bit, so here are some shots. I found the cutest, tiniest pineapple - the favorite symbol of hospitality from the 18th century southern and island cultures. Here ya, go...
The green and pink grassy bits I found at Target and it is edible 'grass' from Germany. It was a great find.
Before I sign off, I want to thank those of you who have joined in to follow my blog. You don't know how appreciative I am that you are interested in following along. I have many projects coming up so I hope to be blogging a little more frequently over the next few months, so stay tuned. Cheers.
