    Girls let’s get “creative”!!!

    Are you going to the market? Do we buy seasonal fruit? Do we want to use it in our recipes and at our parties? Yes, yes, yes… then why not use it also to decorate?

    Place holders are simple to prepare… they give the idea that you organized the dinner in ( I will never say enough how important this is) they reinforce the visual impact.

    Use normal paper, your printer, scissors and glue… an there.. you are done. Costs? Last time I checked, cherries wereat 5 euro/kg.. we can do it, can’t we?

    I love this color!

    When I was younger I found it boring and obvious… now I love it.. maybe it was the maternity… who knows?

    For a little girl birthday party you can serve a pink lemonade using some edible colors or, if you do not have any, you can serve pink grapefruit juice

    The idea is also nice if you have a pregnant friend or if you just want to throw a pink party. In this last case you can also use some champagne or some colored white wine ( edible colors don’t have taste or perfume and they won’t change your wine consistency).

    After that found some mint leaves, a nice set of glasses and prepare already some of them for the guests arrival… the effect will be for sure better that empty glasses. Prepare eventually a spare batch to serve when the first one is finished.

    How cute are these? soapylove.com sells really beautiful soaps in a popsicle shape that can be perfect as presents or as a favour for a party.

    On her site you will find many more… Unfortunately you cannot buy them outside the Usa, but for who is passionate for soap, you can try make your own.

    In shops like Brico or Castorama (here in Italy) in the crafting section you can find white or transparent glycerine. With fantasy,a popsicole mole,colors and aromas you can give them a try!!
