Beautiful photos and layout....as always! I've been walking around like a crazy person with my IPhone taking photos of all of the gorgeous pastel colors that take over the shops in France around Easter. I am loving every minute of it.

Absolutely beautiful images. I love those muted shades - so elegant and refined, yet still warm and homely - really stunning. That Easter table in the last images makes me want to throw an Easter party just for the sheer enjoyment of decorating a table! Great style as always. x

I have a dresser very like the one in the first picutre, I have it in my office but looking at that display, I think I might move it to the kitchen!! Those soft pastels are so soothing! must paint some eggs - I have family coming and not a thing done!! The cockere fabric by Vanessa Arbuthnott is gorgeous! I saw her house recently in a magazine, it was lovely, did you see it? Lovely post Glenda,
