Tablescape Record

After I discovered what "Table scaping" was, I discovered a huge group of bloggers that take part in "parties", linking their newest scape to the first blog.  I think there are "Table scape Tuesdays" and all kinds of other special "parties".  One is a mosaic photo party.  Some make a mosaic of their tablescape and others make the mosaic out of other related photos.  I like recording my tablescapes in this mosaic style.  I haven't joined any of the challenges, preferring at this point to stumble along unrecognized until I know more about what I am doing.

Easter Tablescape for Brunch and Family Dinner

One Easter, Two Tables

For the last week or 10 days I have been working on our Easter dinner table, for the 6 of us.

As luck would have it, the guest list expanded to 10.  After a few tantrums, we settled on a fancy breakfast for the 6 and make whatever adjustments in dishes, etc, were needed for the dinner.  I had to also switch the menu from picnic fare to a little more Easter Dinner-like.

Fresh fruit in Margarita glasses worked.

The napkins, a gift from a friend, napkin rings from Pier One and margarita glasses also from Pier One.

All of my fresh flowers come from Sherri's Floral Shoppe, Inc in Sebastian.

The menu was French toast, fresh fruit, and fresh orange juice and coffee.  The bee hive pot for the syrup was a new purchase from a local antique shop.

Imagine my surprise when the willow branch of blown glass eggs, leafed out (and rooted). 

Changed plates, no place mats, freshly washed napkins and the table was ready for dinner for 8
