To look upon a beautiful Easter décor tablescaping as a work of art is no over eggaggeration of the term.

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.

I like a good word within a word moment.

Take the word tablescape for example.

The word escape is within the word tablescape, and that discovery became the subject of the blog post, Seasonal Update: Turn Your Tablescape Into A Table Escape.

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.

Now that I think about it, when we tablescape we decorate, and the last three letters in decorate spell ate.

I’m on a roll, and speaking of roll, the GO Home Rabbit Butter Dish (great price at Lowes) is a butter get this one for your Easter tablescape.

As many of you know from reading my blog and social media posts, I’m big on selecting and purchasing items capable of many uses.

Getting more bang for your decorating buck is just the smart and savvy way to go.

Several Easter tablescapes ago I started a serveware tradition using this rabbit statue as a salad bowl.

Butter lettuce, sliced fresh Louisiana strawberries, chopped walnuts, red onion rings, and honey-apple cider vinaigrette springs to mind.

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.

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.
