A few of the wow moments, or things I discover each week that tickle my fancy.  I hope that they may inspire or tickle yours too!

20+ Egg-citing ideas for Easter from the people at Better Homes and Gardens.  I have always had a lot of respect for the BHG people.  I used to buy their magazine years ago.  Do they still have a magazine?   Their recipes were always the best.  I also bought their cookery encyclopaedia when I was about 17 with money I earned from baby sitting.  You can see my food and recipe fetish goes way back. ☺

 What a brilliant idea if you are feeding a crowd for Easter!  Orange napkins and green cutlery stogged into a basket looking forever like a basket of carrots!  I wish I'd thought of that!  (Not that I am having a crowd over!)  Found this on Indulgy.

From Hostess with the Mostess, a brilliant tutorial on how to make Carrot Cupcakes!  Aren't they cute?   How fabulous would these be at an Easter Pot Luck or family get together?   I think they're just wonderful!

The cutest candy melt Easter Candy bowls from Kids Stuff World.   So simple to make and something you can get the kiddos to help with.   I wish the grandchildren didn't live so far away as I would be doing this with them!  It looks like a real fun activity!  (And tasty too!)

Free Printable Boxes to put some Easter Eggs in.  Mini Egg Easter Boxes from Oh Happy Day.  I love free printables.  Don't you?

Twelve creative ways to decorate Easter Eggs from The Girl Creative.Com.   These are calligraphy eggs.  Very Jane Austinish I think.  If this doesn't strike your fancy, there are eleven more ways to choose from.

Parmesan Bunny Ears from Savvy Mom.  Such a cute idea and so easy to make too!  You just need a few bits and some puff pastry!

  6. What a lot of wonderful, wonderful Easter treats and ideas. Aren't people so clever - just a simple serviette and plastic cutlery made into something really special. It doesn't take a lot of money, but just using one's imagination. The internet is a real treasure trove of ingenious ideas.

    I'm going to do those parmesan bunnies - they'll be ideal at out Easter smörgåsbord. Thankyou for the tip!
