We know the first official day of Spring isn't for another month but we can't help it-we have Spring Fever! And we are totally crushing on florals this season. Love love these pretty floral purses with leather trim. The far left and right ones are from Aldo, center from Etsy.
Have you ever tried floral flavored treats? That's one food trend we haven't explored yet-but these pretty lavender cupcakes and lemonade look divine!
We are both total suckers for vintage embroidered florals! We love them on tapestries, purses, dresses-you name it.
Love the above design found here and this purse from Etsy.
Grown up floral patterns on dresses... Yes, please! We don't know who is responsible for brining these pretty vintage inspired designs back into fashion but boy are we glad they did. We are swooning over this pink one found here and this blue one from Ruche.
And no Spring-dreaming day would be complete without some pretty paper products. We adore this illustrated floral print from Dear Friend and this pretty note pad from Rifle.Hope you are having a lovely Sunday! xo. elsie and emma
I love that purse on Etsy! I am a sucker for vintage floral embroidery, too.

I've noticed the floral food trend and have been rather enjoying it. My BFF made lilac jelly and it tastes like yiny bites of Spring.

I have a suggestion for you then ;)
Take two sticks of butter, soften lightly. Throw them in a stand mixer and start whipping. Add a 1/4 cup of sugar (or your sugar equiv of choice), and a couple of glugs of rosewater. Whip until super light and spreadable. Check the taste to make sure it is sweet enough for you.
The result will be a lightly sweet spreadable butter with a hint of taste and aroma that will leave your guests puzzled but happy. :)
I generally serve mine up in a big plastic tub, but for a dinner party/shower/whatever shovel the butter into rose or heart molds and freeze. Serve as individual rose shaped pats on tiny plates on top of edible rose petals. The butter will still be that light whipped texture when it comes back to room temperature.
(I buy my rosewater at the oriental/middle eastern store locally - big bottle, couple of bucks - do make sure to get the edible stuff)

I'm kind of obsessed with floral flavored things. I've had hard candy in all kinds of floral flavors from France, lots of rose-flavored things from the middle east, and lavender berry ice cream from Jeni's (my favorite, and a local Ohio company!), but the best is a classic crêpe with lemon and lavender sugar. INCREDIBLE!
Can't wait to see what floral goodies Emma comes up with!

I've had lavender and honey ice cream from a local ice cream place that I fell in love with! I want to try more lavender treats.

Ok, that bag with the wooden handle...yeah, I want that! And I'm happy to see things that are making me think of spring!

Lavender in scones with jam and cream are delicious and smell great when they are cooking as well!

We had lavender icecream in Japan. It was very tasty. We weren't so sure about the squid ink flavoured icecream though^^ Best wishes from Berlin, Jenni
