Flight of Birds

            Just completed a series of favors for a friend's wedding.    These 2 x 2 x 2 boxes were filled with two miniature French macarons, the perfect finish to a perfect celebration.  Many guests were scrambling for more macarons and unattended favors were emptied and devoured in a flash.

           Place one at each place setting, inscribe with guests seating arrangements. The luscious chocolate colored box, would be yummy filled with a single white chocolate truffle or seeded bar.  The choices are endless.

Congregation of Birds

swarm of butterflies

As the kids were growing up, our favorite book was a compilation of collective nouns.   An amazing array of collective nouns;  a murder of crows, an army of frogs, and a swarm of butterflies, to name a few.  

A smarm of butterflies accents each of these springtime favors.  Nestled within each acetate cube conceals a spring bulb, each with growing instructions tucked inside.   These favors house a single lily bulb, cushioned with Reindeer moss and topped with a butterfly accent.

Otherwise at Christmas, tuck an amaryllis bulb or a trio of paperwhites, all bulbs are a pleasant surprise.  A touch of Spring.
