Easter décor tablescaping can rival fashion’s finery for the spotlight in the Easter parade.

Central to a lovely tablescape, creating a centerpiece of fresh flowers and/or greenery from nature’s floral department aka our own yards broadens the field for artistic interpretation.

Begin with a vase, jar, tureen, pitcher, decorative coffee can- any type container that floats your boat or flower frog will do.
Fern and magnolia leaves, camellias, hydrangea, knock out roses, palm fronds, daffodils, dogwood branches, bridal wreath spirea, azaleas and lilies- all eggscellent centerpiece options.
Inspiration lives in the great and colorful outdoors.

When we tablescape we escape through creativity, and right in the middle of the word creativity is the word that is the reason for tablescaping in the first place- eat.

Dollar store deal of the day glassware grants a great look at a great price.
Our local Dollar Tree lacked these in their inventory, so Dave the Builder picked up a dozen of them on his way home from a remodel project.
He’s a good egg.
Ions ago I hit a super sale on a boxed set of 12 Godinger Dublin iced beverage glasses for a ridiculously low price of $30.00 + tax.

Twelve glasses this lovely for $30.00 qualify as a gotta have it find!
For the look, weight, and quality, the today’s $5.00 each price point still comes in as a steal.
Who needs Easter egg dye when nature lends a hand.

During this time I like to step back from the keyboard to stop and smell the roses.
Fire up the hot glue gun.
