Oh whatever - have decided to start offering igloo overnighters to make a quick buck...
We did Easter this morning since that was the only time we could get DD, DS and DS'GF all in one place.
We take what we can get!
There was a veritable feast.
Homemade hot cross buns (less cross-y but am sure I am still in good with the Big Man or Woman):
Quiche Lorraine:
We made two kinds of muffins, bacon, a massive fruit bowl and drank Mimosas.
The piece de resistance was the white cake with buttercream (or as I liked to call it Easter Chick) frosting and edible flowers:
Bunnies galore:
And pink flowers...
And the odd chick running around
I dressed for Dani in my new Theory dress and the navy satin jacket I scored from J Crew on sale from $310 CDN to $50 CDN on one of those crazy sales. I love its swingy-ness and plan to wear it a lot - especially with skinny jeans!
The hardware is rose gold. I like it and am wearing it with my Fossil rose gold watch Barry bought me for Christmas.
The shoes are Stuart Weitzman slingos. I almost wore my new wedges, but it was snowing...
I am quite sure I don't need to eat now till Mother's Day....
Wake me up when Spring actually comes, will you???
Happy Easter! Blowing kisses your way!
xoxo wendy

| This was a Nigella Lawson recipe so I got all swanky whilst doing it You will note no raisins. Raisins are an abomination to mine eyes! |

| I'm calling it - this is Pinterest worthy! |

have a happy Easter Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Naomi! Hope you have a lovely one as well!
DeleteHappy Easter, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit btw and the cake!
Thanks Margaret! Happy Easter!
DeleteVery sophisticated outfit, and I love the edible flowers on the cake. Absolutely Pinterest worthy. I am the worst- haven't decorated at all. Have a Happy Easter. (It auto-corrected to Happy Eater. perhaps that was a message: ) I rather prefer the snow to the melting slush that highlights everything that needs to be addressed in the spring, like branches and peeling paint. Maybe the snow cover is there to let you relax this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi! We had 4 inches of snow last night - very beautiful but so discouraging! I need to get Barry excited about painting the kitchen cupboards!
DeleteEverything inside looks springy! Hope the snow melts quickly and you are gardening up a storm soon.
ReplyDeleteWe had 4 more inches last night? Surely this is it? The weatherman said we are unlikely to see grass till May!
DeleteBuns, quiche, mimosas, what a feast. And that cake is the Pinterest crowning glory. Well done you WMM on the flocked up frippery, our DBP will be suitably proud. Is that an NYC Theory dress? Score on jacket, and blue so suits your eyes and hair. Just think, all the major cooking and clearing up done, you can kick back and relax Sunday with the Barry...
ReplyDeletePS crushing on the Peter Potterish bunny plates -- you do have decor for every season and reason under heaven, bravo.
DeleteI buy the odd bunch of seasonal desert plates. So much fun to put on the table!
DeleteThe jacket is perfect! Wow good spotting on that one. Your table looks wonderful and it sounds like you had a gorgeous day. That cake! Pinning it now, its so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is well Chez Nous! Did you like my little pairings at the end? So you!
DeleteGreat outfit. Happy easter!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gwyn! Happy Easter to you, too!
DeleteHappy Easter to you and your family!! The cake is most definitely Pinterest (and Instagram!!) worthy, so pretty with the flowers scattered on top. Great outfit too. Spring has finally come to NYC, hopefully it won't be too much longer before all that snow melts!
ReplyDeleteHmm - may get on a train and come right down!
Deleteloving the tabletop, loving your dress&jacket - you must be bringing Spring all by yourself!
ReplyDeleteWe actually had some sunshine and a few temperate moments today, although it was raining all day on & off yesterday. At the moment we're having very noisy winds.
Well, Happy Easter, Wendy & Barry & Family, Wendy, when you get a minute (unlikely, I know), send me Monty's password, I must have blinked and missed it. welllfedfred@verizon.net.
Thanks!
ps I could live on real buttercream. A cupcake store not far from me sells - obviously - cupcakes, but also "shots" of their lovely buttercreams. Sigh.
Oh my god - love buttercream as well? Just sent M a note as my password not working either! Have a happy Easter and take care of that bird (and the bunnies!)
DeleteCount me in for shots of buttercream! Dear lord, I could not live there! MLane is a fruit addict-- so perfect/annoying.
DeleteI am really loving the monochrome look. You look very modern and polished. Everything looks scrumptious. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteMarie - there is a rumour that it makes one look taller....
DeleteHappy Easter to you!
Everything looks delicious, especially that cake! Wow! Buttercream...even that word has calories.... I LOVE the bunny plates!
ReplyDeleteAnd I ate two pieces yesterday! Happy Easter!
DeleteHappy Easter!! What a pretty cake and I love your bunny plates!! What a great jacket. I don't think I ever saw that one. It's pretty with your dress and will be darling with skinny jeans too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, I bought it mainly for skinny pants and a more tailored silhouette, but could not resist pairing it with the chambray yesterday!
DeleteLove this post, happy Easter Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ger!
DeleteWhat a party! And"children" to enjoy the bunnies etc ( I txted my eldest, did she want to come down for Easter brunch, but she said she's in NYC. Oh well. Told her to have some buttercream for her dear ole mum).
ReplyDeleteSplendid spring outfit and +1 for effort in the snow. We did not get this batch here, but still in the 30's during the day so not getting much melting either. Retreating to the basement seedling area.
I think I need to buy some heat lamps and start doing seedlings!
DeleteLovely all around. Might put a spring in my step since the snow certainly isn't. Make me spruce myself up in a spring like fashion for our family Easter dinner today.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great one, Mar!
DeleteHappy Easter, Wendy! I can't believe the weather the Maritimes are getting! Perhaps it is time to move here. It is warm and sunny right now. :)
ReplyDeleteRose, I think you are on to something!
DeleteOh Wendy, I could so dive into your layer cake. If only allowed one food on earth, it would absolutely be a frosted cake for me! I'm sure it was scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteIt was really quite divine! I am sure I added 2 more pounds to the 15 I wanted to lose...
DeleteLove your outfits. LIke you, I don't think raisans (sp???) improve anything - they are way too sweet
