True Blue Sweetness

This would be a perfect setting for a true blue wedding celebration..... Cool, with Something Blue and pretty.... A great dessert table I must say.

Bridal Blush

Soft, pink and bridal... this speaks to a bride really... cheerios.

Summery Colours

A perfect combination of the two, rustic and elegant, is what makes this bouquet so special. The addition of the langusa seed brings in a slight texture, a pleasant surprise and the cactus flower enhances the entire look. I enjoy using green and yellow cymbidium for the color combination in relation to a summery note....it's truly wonderful.

A Lilac Romance

Having an air of allure, romance and excitement ..... a Lilac Romance.

Hello, Once again...

I have to pop in, if just for a second, to say that the blog is not being abandoned! I promise! I also want to say “hi” to any new visitors that may be stopping by. It’s been a bustling time for us, and we are so grateful for all of the new visitors, orders, and encouraging comments and emails. Thank you so, very much! Our main goal is to stay as creative and personal as possible, because that’s how we roll (for a good 9 years already). There’s no factory, no giant warehouse; just a handful of people working hard and searching diligently to find the most unique and magical touch....
I’m very excited for the future of this little company, there’s still so much to do and also so much to be thankful for. Thank you again, for being here and coming along for the ride!

Eye Candy

We designed this dessert table for a friend's daughter's Baptism brunch.

The all-white dessert table included coconut white chocolate nuggets, and dusted truffles, marshmellows etc. It is so lovely the guests were so careful not to "destroy" it while getting their helpings of the desserts..... Everyone was in absolute awe of the dessert table and it was definitely the ‘wow factor’ of the party! ..... Lovely

Absolutely Peonies

Peonies are my absolute favorite flower. They smell as gorgeous as they look and as all good things must come to an end, they have a torturously short season. For this reason, I make sure to have a constant supply of fresh bunches at home for as long as possible. They always make a room feel just a little bit more special!..... absolutely stunning.

Creme de la mode

Clearly am not the only one who has fallen for such a lovely whisper of a colour, as pinkish tones are abound lately . . at least is here and everywhere in my blog.....really this would happily be a great colour to surround myself in ... such is this calming and beautiful hue . . .

Pale pale Pinks, again

You all must be thinking, I am currently and completely drawn to the lovely intermingling of pink and lavender . . .yes indeed.

Pink Sweetness

Pretty in Pinks.. that's the theme for a girly party...
A pretty pink cake, pretty pinks flower garland, flower prints flags and pretty pink paper dollies and not forgetting those pretty pink and sweet strawberries coated with pink chocolate mousse and a few jars of pretty sweets in pinks and red wrapper....

Layers and layers of softness

Beautiful, show-stopping pieces bring pastel's casual looks to a rich, sophisticated level by adding pure glamour to layered knits and turning laid-back looks into timeless & eclectic style.

Three cheers for a pink and cream-white palette set !!! See how the only added decorations are a simple white motif-cut out tablecloth and a single arrangement of flowers on a cupcake tier turn out... With such a stunning centrepiece, there's no need for added decor....quietly beautiful.

Nothing is Perfect

Old items, like this tarnished chair, have at least nine lives, imparting more and more vintage style with each passing trend. Think twice before repainting it as it carries with it many years of character and personality.... Authentic.

Welcome Spring

Create this centrepiece for your easter table, not only does it add colours to your table, the little chocolate eggs in pastel colours are also a welcome treat for your guests.

Purple Viola!

Think purple, lilac and violet... it would be a beautiful palette to coin
your wedding around these colours.

Purple colour theme represents romance and it eludes a sexy sense and enclove with it .... a mystery.



Summer Accent

This is certainly appropriate for summer, but they're far more casual than I imagine . Incorporate a variety of colours and daisies for unfussy elegance..... Hot Hot Summer.

Milk & Honey

Last night Karen told me that she wanted a white theme birthday bash for Jill... Oh, I just love to express my interpretation of a baby's birthday party in White theme and share with her...

When it's in "White", don't do the White too seriously. Can be Grey White, Blue White, Green White or Butter White ie Milk & Honey -- Paired with cream and a few touches of the palest grey and some dots of yellow which is playful and cheerful, rather than overly dramatic.

Also a variety of fun patterns adds to the playfulness of this look.

Mood: whimsical, bright
Palette: Apricot, cream, touches of pale grey

Pink Lemonade

Don't you just love the different pink hues? Such colours contribute to the shabby chic affair and make it absolutely stunning, with layers upon layers of gorgeousness.

Tea


Tea is a wonderful thing.....


The Japanese "Way of Tea" describes the first sip as consolation, the second as ectasy and the third, contentment. I think a good strong cup of Japanese Green tea with a simple "digestive biscuit" is a small experience of heaven on earth. I'd love to drink mine under those lovely roses with the Japanese lanterns.

Home Coming


Did you think I was ever coming back? I know it was a long absence but I guess it was needed. The holidays came and went without feeling particularly holiday-ish. And here we are now...


So how have all of you been doing? Hope that the holidays went well for everyone. And "THANK YOU!" to all of the sweet well wishes in my absence. Cheerios.........

A little something


I am so in love with flowers, especially the scented kind.

The softness of jasmine, the delicate line of a rose, the simplicity of a frangipani or the gentle contours of the freesia all bring a smile to face every time I lay my eyes (or nose) upon them.

Take me to a nursery and I'm like a kid in a candy store and I just love this pic - they're exactly as I'd like my heaven to be... It's such a beautiful space - the kind that fills the heart - simple, relaxed and non-pretentious. Just beautiful, without trying too hard..... Divine.

Pretty Innocence

This is another bouquet I made that are striking in a sweet and innocent way. Lovely! On a day that's kind of grey with the promise of rain this afternoon, daydreaming of lolling about in grassy fields....These flowers also make me think of goddesses of spring. So soft and sensuous!

Flower Love Affair

My love affair with flowers continue though I have been missing in action in my blog life currently. Apologies for not writing these past few weeks, things has got the better of me and kept me overwhelmed.

Nevertheless, I present here one of my very favourite bouquet combi of ice-pink peonies with white hydregeans and "lace-edeged" tulips and a touch of black.... understated drama indeed.

Flowers in a used tin

I hold dear and close the big things in life like love, family, friendships, and relationships. I also believe they are all enhanced by the little things.

The little things in life...Those little trickets or thoughts that we hang onto. be it a shoe box in your closet or the attic.... Special paper and photographs in your desk drawers. A dish or an ingredient that you are cherishing to the last crumb.

A lot of the little things that bring a smile on my face.... you can guess, often related to food, flowers and little odds & ends.

Simply a task of slicing lemons almost always makes me want to drop a couple of slices in a hot cup of tea.... brings me a relief in a hectic day...

Little things like that make me vibrate, keep me alive, keep me going......

Dream a Little Dream

A friend asked me if since I am already running my own business, do I still harbour any dreams?

Yes of course........................but reality is finally better than daydreaming if you are in love.

February Romance

Howdy my readers, my apologies for not updating recently.....

Peaceful. Dreamlike. Foggy. Gauzy. Love. This is in the air of February.

That's right, Valentine's Day is just one week away... just think of colour palette that is chalky, dove grays, pinks and lavenders as calm and serene as a rare afternoon spent daydreaming of your Valentine.....Sweet.

Delightful Reunion


This Sunday would be Reunion Dinner for the Chinese before the first day of Chinese New Year....
New year's Reunion Dinner is a perfect time to get together all long lost friends and family over mom's delightful spread on the table.....
Using pretty plates for this yummy spread makes good sense and make the dinner more than a perfect reunion... blissful.

A Little Luxuries

Beautiful floral arrangemnets, a silk-covered chaise, hand painted wall murals in the hotel lobby. . or simply time, the best luxury of all . . . this was supposed to be my last week's blog-write about my Taiwan trip...

It was a most "foodful" trip as we ventured out to the land of Taiwan. You just cannot stop eating as one start walking down the food-filled aisle. Food that is different from what we have here in Singapore, just so interesting you got to try.. but, I am back here to earth now and another week had come and gone . . . hope you had a beautiful time and found a few moments to enjoy little luxuries amidst the gloomy sky of recessions..... . A little luxuries of good painting and smelling the sweet blossoms along the way go a long way.....
