A Carousel For My Nonpareils

With a little liquid gold leaf, I gave this lazy susan I found at a thrift store a quick Parisian makeover.  

Since then I have been collecting glass stoppers and interesting lids to fit into glass bottles to use as a place to display my sprinkles. And I do love a French inspired theme.

So now I have taken to collecting sprinkles.

Wondrous and beautiful sprinkles like these sugar pearls and pink nonpareils.  Have you ever even seen pink nonpareils before? 

Did you know sprinkles are relatively inexpensive?   

Wouldn't these pink nonpareils look stunning on some dark chocolate? 

All I had on hand tonight was some white chocolate morsels, so I made up a handful of candies for our after dinner snack.   

Check out these vivid canary yellow nonpareils.  Who knew?   I hereby declare that sprinkles are my latest obsession! 

It's such a happy obsession though, anyone care to join me?

White Hares and Sea Shells

When I picked up a bunny mold yesterday at my local craft store they were all out of the white chocolate melting wafers.

So I just used a bag of white chocolate morsels instead.

Wilton makes these baby blue pearls that caught my eye. (Except they call them sprinkles. )

I prefer to think of them as pearls. Overflowing pearls from all the oyster shells in the sea.

Sprinkles are for cupcakes anyway.

And now, all my little bunnies can have blue eyes too.

All the bunnies and shells are displayed on my "Down East Dessert Tray" that I made 5 months ago today. If you missed that post you can read about it here.

It looks like we'll be having some of those dragon eggs with our bunnies and shells on Easter.

And of course there will be coffee.

And pretty sea glass to complement the sea shells.

Some of the shells won't be edible though.

Unlike the bunny.

All except for the pink ribbon, of course.
