Welcome

Maybe tablescaping has always been in me from arranging little displays in my dad's pharmacy when I was a teen to decorating my classroom through my 35 years of teaching. Now that I am retired, this seems the next step.

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
