You are going to love making these easy blueberry muffins and gift them in style with these darling gift tags that I designed. You can just download the file and print as many times as you like. If you post on social media, please tag me. I would love to see it!

Here is the recipe:

1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

3/4 cups of sugar

2 heaping tea spoons of baking powder

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/3 of vegetable oil

1/3 of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries 

Combine all dry ingredients, then the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Fill muffin forms two thirds (you don't want them too high or they might not fit in your box that you are gifting) and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Don't over bake or they will become dry!

It turned out so pretty, let me know what you think!

I hope you enjoy this recipe and the gift tags. 

Here they are below, so darling!

Just print on card stock, trim, punch a whole on the top and attach with a little string. Then just do a pretty bow on the pretty box filled with goodies! I got my card stock, box, string and ribbon at my local craft store.

This is truly a combination of the baker (me) and the cook (my hubby) the topping on the bread and you should certainly try it!

“Country Bread with Everything Bagel Seasoning”

2 tablespoons of active dry yeast from a jar

2 1/2 cups warm water

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup vegetable oil

6 1/2 cups bread flour

Put the flour and yeast together in a bowl then add the warm water and knead it a bit then add the eggs, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. Knead it all together until it’s all blended well until its smooth into a ball (about 10 minutes).

Let it rise for about 1 hour until it doubles in size in warm place. I usually place a clean tea towel on top then place a blanket around the bowl.

Divide the dough in two and roll each half into a rectangle (big enough to fit in the pan you are placing in the oven, like 9x18 then roll it up tight. Press at the ends to seal after each turn. Place loaf on pan with a little flour on it and brush with egg white or a little vegetable oil. Let it rise for about 1 hour until double.

Heat oven at 350 and put “Everything but the bagel seasoning blend” (which includes sea salt, onion, garlic and salt) on top after you brush the bread with a bit of oil or egg white.

Bake until golden brown for about 1 hour.

The bread tastes amazing and it’s great as morning toast as well, enjoy!

It makes the house smell so good!

The bread is soft and so fresh!

I am enjoying a few slices at the table with one of my favorite table runners that I designed by hand the Tobacco Leaf Inspired table runner, which go beautifully with my hydrangeas and my blue and white. Well this is a runner that goes well with every decor. 

Since Father's Day is coming up if you did this bread, I know he would love it.

My husband who was a chef says it tastes delicious fresh or toastedl!

Today I am delighted to introduce you Kristie LaLonde, Creator and owner of Happy Hostess Collective!

Kristie teaches how to entertain at home, plan parties and make your guests feel welcome. Join her each week as she helps beginner hostess learn the tips and tricks of setting a table and entertaining guests without all the stress and worries. On her Apple podcasts, you can enjoy her interviews with party experts and learn their secrets to creating a memorable event.

Questions for Kristie:

Q: Kristie, it’s truly a pleasure having you here on the blog. Can you tell us about yourself, where did you grow up and how did your childhood influence your life and your path? 

I’m honored that you have invited me on your blog.  You know that I’ve been a long time fan of your work and it’s exciting to do this!  I grew up in Lexington, KY and have lived here basically all of my life. I grew up on a horse farm and remember being fascinated by all the fancy parties going on there.  I think watching my parents get ready for these big events and seeing the glamour of the horse industry at that time intrigued me.  As far as my love for dishes, I inherited that from my mother!

Q: As a child what did you want to be when you grew up?

 I went through many phases, at times I wanted to be a horse veterinarian, an actress or a gymnast.  But I should have known that I wanted to be an entrepreneur because I was always recruiting my friends to start a businesses with me.  Lemonade stands were my favorite but I starting selling friendship bracelets, friendship pens and handmade ribbon barrets over the years.

Q: Where did you go to college and did you learn anything in there that helped you do what you are doing today?

I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. I chose this major with the intention of having a bridal store with a wedding coordinating service. I never opened a bridal store but I did coordinate weddings for a while. The retail part of the major did help as I owned an online high end gift and dishware company for over ten years.

Q: What inspired you to start Happy Hostess Collective on your social media and the Happy Hostess Podcast? 

I really feel like there are a lot of women hesitant to invite guests into their home.  Either because they don’t feel like they don’t have time or are afraid that they just don’t know how.  These women are missing out on so much joy and connection that comes from entertaining in their own home.  I want to be able to show them how to do it simply, with style and in a way that makes them feel confident.

Q: How do you define your style?

Grandmillenial is probably the best way to describe my style in the home, even though I am way too old to be a millennial! I would also describe my party style as whimsical or a little over the top.  I am a “more is more” type of gal when it comes to parties!

Q: Where do you find inspirations?

I find inspiration from other creators like you and so many others on Instagram.  Inspiration can really be found anywhere from nature, the movies to books and magazines. It is so fun to create your own interpretation of themes that you see in everyday life.

Q: How do you plan for your next dinner or event?

I always start with asking myself why am I having this dinner, party or event?  I try to take that answer and ask, “Why is that important to me?” When I do that a few times in a row, I get a meaningful answer that naturally helps me make the rest of the decisions like the location, menu, guest list etc. The key is to plan, plan, plan and to do it in writing!  Planning takes the stress out of most any event.

Q: What are some of your favorite treasures in your home that you use in your tables, and why?

Some of my favorite treasures are my wedding china, family hand me downs, and vintage dishware.  Heirlooms that I have had for many years, hold memories and positive feelings that bring me joy.  I love vintage items because they have a history and bring unique character and charm to a table.

Q: Do you have any favorite collection?

Right now my favorite collections are majolica, cabbage ware, and cookbooks.

Q: For people who don’t know Happy Hostess Collective, can you describe how you came up with that name?

When people think of being a hostess, sometimes they picture a perfectionist like Martha Stewart.  A lot of times, the word hostess brings up feelings of not being enough or not knowing what to do.  I just want to give people the tools to be confident while entertaining so they create bonding memories with their friends and family.  I do believe that much lasting happiness comes from inviting guests into our home.  The Collective comes from the idea of all of us in it together, wanting to be part of a movement blessing others with genuine hospitality.

Q: When you aren’t busy working on the podcast or a party, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I love to read, attend pilates classes and of course, listen to podcasts.

Q; What are 3 every day luxuries you could not live without?

Only three is hard!  But the first things that come to mind is makeup by Hourglass, a warm cozy bed and good coffee.

Q: Where is your favorite place to host and why?

My very favorite place to host is always my home.  There is an intimacy that is created when you host in your own home that is hard to recreate anywhere else.  Also, it is by far the most convenient place, because you don’t need to transport anything and you have all the time you need to decorate or cook.  

Q: Where can people find you, let us know your social media handles and any other ways people can get in touch with you.

My instagram handle is @happyhostesscollective and my facebook account is the same.  You can reach me by email at kristie@happyhostesscollective

“Happy is the couple that finds a special place to get married and far happier are those couples who find the right people to work with them on their wedding”  ~  Ceci M.

I got so inspired learning about Church Point Manor and their darling blue and white Carriage House (which is on Airbnb).

They are an event & retreat venue in Virginia Beach. This elegant and private place is not only filled with character and history, built in 1860 but it is listed in the Virginia Beach Historic Register!

Their lush gardens, old growth trees and the fact that they are by the water creates the ideal and most magical place for the perfect event!

However I have to say that the best part was working with Tyler and Kate. They showed me around and I got to personalize a blue and white tablecloth the “Grandmillennial Botanical Garden” for them. It fits beautifully with their decor!

It was truly a pleasure meeting this sweet and busy couple!

Today I am delighted to introduce you Erminda Dominguez, Creator and owner of Erminda Celebrates!

In Erminda Celebrates, Minda with over 25 years as an educator and a degree in Interior Design, she shares her love for creating a beautiful home inside and out and also for creating tablescapes. She also enjoys cooking, baking and celebrating life’s everyday moments.

Q: Minda, it’s truly a pleasure having you here on the blog. Can you tell us about yourself, where did you grow up and how did your childhood influence your life and your path?  

Thank you so much for having me.  I was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico but moved to California when I was just 11 days old.  I grew up in the Los Angeles area where I currently reside.  I come from a long line of creative men and women, so I as a child, I was surrounded by the arts.  My parents always had a flare for decorating our home and that greatly influenced me to carry on that tradition.

Q: As a child what did you want to be when you grew up?

From as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be teacher.  One Christmas, I recall getting one of those stand alone chalkboards.  I was thrilled and I can still remember gathering all my younger siblings around it to give them my first lesson. 

Q: Where did you go to college and did you learn anything in there that helped you do what you are doing today?

I attended California State University upon graduating from high school, but soon put that on hold to raise my children.  When they were school age, I went back to get a degree in interior design.  I worked briefly in that field, but soon discovered that working hours of an independent contractor weren’t ideal for family life, so I went back to college again to earn a California Teaching credentials. Starting in  1996 I worked as elementary school teacher until I retired in 2021. Teaching was a perfect career for me to express my creativity and I loved decorating my classroom and designing lessons that included art appreciation and crafts.

Q: What inspired you to start Erminda Celebrates?

I was inspired to create Erminda Celebrates so that I could document and share how I celebrate even the simplest of moments in my journey.

Q: How do you define your style?

I would say my style is filled with lush and layered creations. I am more of a maximalist and fill my home and stylings that are full of colorful patterns and palettes.

Q: Where do you find inspirations?

Nature inspires me everyday.  I also take inspiration from old world cultures and motifs specifically, Italian, French, and Mexican. 

Q: How do you decide what to style next in your home?

I enjoy seasonal stylings.  So, with that in mind, I will look for ways to refresh my home, garden, and even meals with the seasons in mind.

Q: What are some of your favorite treasures in your home, and why?

Of course, some of my favorite treasures are the original art pieces that my daughter has done for us.  I also treasure the vintage dishes and glassware that have been handed down to me from my mother.

Q: Do you have any favorite collection?

I do love collecting Bordallo Pinheiro earthenware and Majolica from Europe and Mexico.

Q: For people who don’t know Erminda Celebrates, can you describe how you came up with that name?

The name perfectly describes this chapter in my life.  My motto is simply create and celebrate.  So that is what I want to share with our community.

Q: When you aren’t busy working on Erminda Celebrates, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I enjoy being with family.  My young grandchildren live just 4 doors down from me, so I keep busy with them.  I know one day they will be off busy doing their own thing, so I make sure my husband and I make to time to create as many fond childhood memories for them as we possible.

Q; What are 3 every day luxuries you could not live without?

I cannot live without flowers, pretty food, and color!

Q: Anything else you would like to add?

Yes, if there is one thing I have learned in my 65 years of being on this planet is that we create the life we want.  Yes, there are times when our journey seem out of our control, but in reality, we are always in control of how we respond.  For now, my intention is to enjoy my family and take as many opportunities to express myself creatively as possible.

Q: Where can people find you, let us know your social media handles and any other ways people can get in touch with you.

People can find me at my website ermindacelebrates.com and at ermindacelebrates on instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and TikTok.

Thank you Minda, it was a pleasure having you in this space!

You will find this well balanced and light key lime pie to be one of the best that you have ever tasted! My daughter made it and it delighted everyone, we hope you enjoy it as well.

Ingredients:

For the pie crust

1/3 light brown sugar

4 tablespoons of butter

1 and 1/2 cups of crushed graham crackers

For the pie filling

1 tablespoon grated lime zest

1 cup of whole milk

2 cans of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz each can)

3/4 cup lime juice squeezed.

Decorating

2 tablespoons of confectioners sugar

1 cup of heavy cream

1 tablespoon of lime zest (to spread on top of the whipped cream)

Instructions:

Combine brown sugar, melted butter and graham crumbs all together until well mixed. Press it all along a pie pan bottom and sides. Bake for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees, let cool.

Whisk sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, lime juice and zest. Bake at 350 for about 18-20minutes and it will be a bit wobble but that’s ok. Wait for it to cool down then put in the fridge.

Mix heavy cream with confectioners sugar until medium peaks form then top the cooled pie and spread the lime zest all over the pie. Cool for a few hours before serving it cold.

It's so easy to make and it's SO delicious, I hope you try it!

I got the Rose Medallion Tureen yesterday at an estate sale and the runner and napkin Familie Rose print is new and is coming out soon.

You are going to LOVE this! Learn how to make the cutest trinket dish. These have so many uses and make great gifts as well. They can be a ring holder, catch all, jewelry dish or paper clip holder!

SAVE 🔖 this post to refer back when your need to make a few gifts.

I am an avid crafter and when I have a bit of extra time, you will find me making these!

I just used blue and white and other designs that are timeless.

1 - Clean your oyster shells and let dry.

2 - Sand sharp edges around the shell until they become smooth.

3 - Paint inside shells with white craft acrylic paint and let dry.

4- use Mod Podge on the inside of the shells. I used matte, but you can use gloss.

5 - Separate napkin and use the design part only which is very thin and place on top of oyster shell covered with the Mod Podge.

6 - Brush the napkin from the center out so that you erase any bubbles.

7 - Cut any extra napkin on the oyster edges and let dry.

8 - Paint the very edge with gold, let dry then paint the entire back, let dry (I let dry overnight) and you are done!🙌

Ps: Also did decoupage on a plain circular ornament and a remote control box that was brown before. You can also do it in plates and many other items, follow for Grandmillennial ideas!

You can see the remote control box that I decoupaged on, it was brown before

 These are the items that you will need:

• White paint
• Mod Podge
• Gold paint
• Brush
• Sandpaper

 This is a great project to make with some friends or to make it alone, just remember that the most important this is to have fun!

Hi friends,

Come join me in my watercolor class held at Bayside Artisans Shoppes on Independence Boulevard in Virginia Beach, our next class will be July 8th from 6-8p.m.!

On our last class, I gave the students the choice to either paint 1 or 3 hydrangeas on the watercolor paper! Although I might not always offer a choice of a design, students always enjoy following along and learning more about watercolor so I encourage you to attend the next class! To register, please click HERE.

For the class I got to wear one of my vintage favorite prints, "Flamingos in Palms"! What a great way to celebrate the arrival of Summer! 

Make sure you read below, let's admit it, there are so many benefits of painting! 

•  Painting improves memory and concentration ~ While it might not be obvious but your brain is essentially working out whenever you paint, which means that painting boots the memory function and sharpen the mind. When painting, parts of the brain responsible for memory and concentration are engaged!
• Painting develops your creativity ~ when painting both left and right side of the brain are stimulated. Even as a beginner, learning how to paint will strengthen your mind as you try new techniques and master new skills. Painting classes hep further boost your creative spirit! In painting we use our left side of the brain to tackle logical challenges, for example how you should set up your paper and paints and getting ready to paint!
• Painting is an all brain exercise, triggering dopamine activity in the brain and strengthening the mind, so spending time indulging your creativity is basically like doing a fun physical workout but in your brain, lets call it a fun fitness class!
• There are endless benefits of painting ~ studies show that people who practice creative activities regularly such as painting are shown to have less chance of developing Alzheimer's and dementia. Therefore not only is your painting hobby sparking joy and making you feel better due to the dopamine release which is an hormone responsible for important body functions including movement, memory, pleasure and motivation, and is also looking after your health and safeguarding your brain functions in the future!

You will also enjoy meeting and connecting with other students in the class. Believe it or not there are many benefits of socializing and having this time for yourself.

Make sure you register HERE and secure your spot, there is limited seating available. Hope to see you there!

If you attended one of my previous classes, I would love for you to leave a comment below about your experience. These comments help me be better prepared for the next class!

I am so excited to featured Jessica from @ivoryandnoire this Saturday on our #Vintageflowersandtea home tour! Below are some facts about her.

Jessica Pearsall is an interior designer and founder of Ivory and Noire. 

Why is her little corner of the internet called Ivory and Noire? Black and white was her all time favorite color scheme until she discovered blue and white!

She is married  to her best friend and she is a proud mamma of two children and a fur baby.

She is fluent in English & Spanish and for a while was conversational in Arabic.

She is a coffee snob, and loves a great cup off coffee, along with a great glass of wine and a tasty cocktail. 

She loves creating a beautiful table but what she loves even more is sharing how she created it and where she found the good stuff!

She started Ivory and Noire to teach and inspire women to entertain stylishly in their own homes.

She loves layering colors, patterns and a bit of chinoiserie on every table she sets.

She’s done everything from flipping homes to designing residential and commercial interiors in the US and abroad.

She's also thrown her share of milestone celebrations.

She has been featured in Entertain and Celebrate and also on the Houston Chronicle!

She enjoys taking workshops in subjects like art and calligraphy.
