Granny Chic trend for Spring 🌸 Here's what you need:

✔️ Vintage tea cups
✔️ Pearls and lace doilies
✔️ A tea pot as a vase for centerpiece (I used silver service here)
✔️ Lots of colour
✔️ Mix and match plates

If you're decorating an Easter table (like I did here) sprinkle a few foil wrapped chocolate eggs and bunnies.

P.S You can find some really adorable vintage cups in thrift stores (mine were mostly gifted by my Nonna 💗)

What do you think - can we make Granny Chic happen?

I'm back BAY-BEE! 🔥 Here's what my 30 day hiatus taught me:

My January break from biz and socials wasn't as scary 😱 as I thought it was gonna be

YES I felt FOMO
YES I felt selfish and lazy
YES, I worried biz would suffer and I'd miss out on opportunities

BUTTTTT.....

Slowing down and disconnecting helped me figure out what I REALLY want.

Because I admit it 🫣 so many times, I got caught up comparing what everyone ELSE was doing and what I THOUGHT people wanted from me. And somehow I wasn't doing enough and I wasn't doing it the "right" way.

I lost sight of what makes me special and how I can share my unique talents to encourage, entertain, and educate others.✨️

F@ #! THAT S**T!

From now on⬇️

🎉🎉I want to have more FUN! I want YOU to have more fun!

Let's be BOLD, COLOURFUL, JOYFUL together! 🌈

Let's have adventures!

Let's try new things!🥂

🎁What's in store for Joyful Hostess in 2024?

Tell me - what do you want more of in 2024? 💕✨️🌈🥂🥳
