Monochromatic Monday :: Pistachio Cream

If you could choose any dessert, what would it be? A light-as-air chocolate soufflé? A big slice of birthday cake with frosting between the layers? Or how about a warm berry pie, pulled straight from the oven… For me, it’s really a no brainer. Ice cream. I love it any time, day or night, chocolate, vanilla, cherry garcia, cookies & cream…you name it, I’ll take it. And being pregnant has only made my cravings more acceptable, so let’s just say that my freezer currently shares a major resemblance to the local ice cream parlor. Aren’t the icy flavors such pretty shades? Classic pistachio was the inspiration for today’s board – its whispering minty green the jumping-off point for a summer fête designed with gilded details and feminine flourishes. I think a bridal shower with pistachio bonbons, armfuls of white tulips, a perfectly-set champagne bar and teacups waiting to be filled with icy scoops would fit the bill just perfectly, don’t you? Hope you all have a lovely Monday – and stop by this afternoon for today’s edition of Bring it Home!
