Five Star Frou-Frou #42...

 http://rosemary-thyme.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/moss-and-faux-flower-egg-tutorial.html
 
Welcome to Five Star Frou-Frou and Happy Easter!
 
I'm putting the linky up early, so that we may all honour Good Friday in an appropriate manner.
 
On this most Blessed weekend of the calendar, I've chosen the links that I felt best represented the feeling of the season, from non-traditional eggs, to meaningful treats and beautiful handcrafted cards.
Not a chocolate in sight, but these pretty floral eggs above, to me speak of Spring, rebirth, and fresh new starts. Thanks to Janet for sharing this tutorial. I think it's one of my most favourites ever, and I've used it to make gorgeous floral embellished eggs for my Granddaughters and Daughters-in-Law.

ChelC, at Inside the Fox Den, who always has clever ideas, shared her families recipe for Resurrection Rolls. You will love the story attached to these.

 And finally, Linda from Paper Seedlings shared her gorgeous hand crafted cards. For some reason these reminded me of the leadlight windows in my childhood church, and sitting in my best finery on Easter morning, wondering how much longer it would be before we could return home to eat chocolate...naughty, I know. But I was only 7 years old.
Thankyou all, and please visit our features and make them feel special.

Frou-Frou

Meaning: Frills or other ornamentation

Origin: French, late 19th century

Imitative of the sound of a woman walking in a dress

In my imagination, this linkup is like a weekly gathering of friends, swishing around in stylish dresses and frou-frou. We all love to entertain graciously, live elegantly, dress beautifully, and gift generously, no matter our budget.

Like any regular gathering, we like to make sure we acknowledge newcomers, say hi to old friends, and share our most engaging news. Please do this...it's lovely for us all to have a new friend stop by.
 
Here are some rules on how to be a good linky guest...

1. Please follow A Tray of Bliss. I am here, on Facebook and Pinterest (as Mimi's Tray of Bliss). I now have a closed group on Facebook with the same name, and we share lovely ways of living elegantly without spending a lot, so send a request to join and you're in!

2. Please visit new friends, revisit old ones, and leave comments to show your appreciation of their work. We all love that. Everyone works hard on their projects and writing, and if this is a party, then you need to mingle!

3. I'd also love it if you'd link back to A Tray of Bliss somewhere on your page. That helps the linkup to grow. The more beautiful bloggers we have linking, the more comments and visits for all of us. Thankyou dear friends and Welcome!

The collection has closed. Let other people know about it through twitter.

    This is a lovely way for everyone to flare. Your linky party is great, someday I'll feel like putting on a frou-frou and joining in. I didn't have chocolate here either, the kids went around with easter baskets and hunted for lunch treats for school. I did however put out some plastic eggs here and there. Wonderful post, Cindy
