As children we look forward to Easter to go on egg hunts and see what the "Bunny" put in our basket. Usually it was full of dolls, hair bows, colorful plastic eggs filled with coins, and Hershey chocolate. Now that I'm older, I still get a glimmer of hope that I will wake up to a large wicker basket full of pastel paper grass, though my expectations have elevated to it encasing jewels, Belgian truffles, and perhaps a shopping spree down avenue Montaigne (plane tickets included). Though I have my sights set high, reality must play a factor.
This year I am limiting it to chocolate and china...
Both are decadent, whimsical, colorful, preferably expensive, and have a tendency to break easily. I love variety and choices...some people prefer milk and white, I prefer dark and bone (china, that is). Greens, turquoise, reds, oranges, gold, pinks...it doesn't matter. Just fill my shelves with porcelain confection and I'll be happy! How often do you detour yourself into shops to admire the patterns and artwork that add a touch of decor genius to any place in the home? Stop and smell the flowers, but while you're at it, look at the china too.
What are you asking for in your basket this year?
