Love and Lavender Baby Shower - Sweet Teaser
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of creating a sweet table for a dear friend, who is expecting her baby in November. I wanted to create a memorable experience for her and her family. Because we didn't know the baby's gender, we decided to go with colours that complement her feminine and romantic side, so we chose different shades of grey and purple. I am so eager to share this wonderful event with you, so here is a snapshot of the dessert table. Big kudos go to Joyful Emotion Photography who took these incredible photos. More photos to come in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

International Sweet Table Contest: Call for your fabulous entries, Canada!
I am very pleased to announce that I will be representing Canada in the 2011 International Edition of the Sweet Table Contest. The contest launched in 2010 when Laure, the founder from Paris, France, came up with the idea of creating a place on the internet where non professional party designers and creative moms across Europe can share their pretty and gorgeous dessert tables. The contest generated a lot of buzz in the community and it was such a success that she decided to launch the 2011 Edition but this time it will reward the most beautiful tables in the WORLD!
The fantastic team at Sweet Table Contest approached me and asked me to oversee the submission process for Canada. I am absolutely privileged and super excited to take part of this amazing event.
So, it is up to you, Canada. Let's show the world your creativity, originality and talents. ( I do know you have plenty of them!)
This contest is open to everyone who creates sweet tables as a hobby and is free to enter. The Process is very simple and include the following steps:
