La Fête À La Campagnarde

Same setting, a bit different shades:
using the same furniture for previous photoshoot, we tried to do a more muted dusty pastel color.
This time it's the setting for Cosmopolitan Bride's fashion spread. using vintage floral chinaware for servings and teacups as flower vase, this should be catchy enough :-) Hope you like it!

Food Galore

Three weeks weren't enough to give me decent experience of Japanese food. But at least I have tasted some, and none was disappointing. Despite of it's unreadable menu and unfamiliar names, I know now, that wherever it might be, they only serve none but the best ingredients. And the tea with its smokey taste, and sake, and the rice, uhm.. yum.. I'm lost for words...

TeaCups

There's something interesting about teacups.

I think teacups are photogenic, no?
But do you know that it was not until the year of 1700 did saucers appear?
In about 1750 a man named Robert Adams inspired tea sets that the tea cups had handles. Robert Adams also inspired the tea pot, sugar holders, milk/creamer containers, and even tea spoons to match. Brilliant, sir Adams!


If you're interested to know more about the history of teacups, you can find it here at this little but resourceful website.  
Wow, even a teacup has its own website!

"When you’re feeling sad & blue
And have no clue what to do
Sit down and have a cup of tea
And a hug or two or maybe three
Feel those troubles melt away
And start you on a better day"
