Easter Egg Arrangements
One of my favorite things about Spring and Easter are the beautiful organic decorations and arrangements and vignette to be made! And the sweet, little Easter Egg arrangement I’m sharing today is my favorite. So easy to make and just think of all the fun possibilities! Group them together down the center of the table and it makes a springtime centerpiece. Put one of these arrangements at each place setting and they become pleasant surprises for your guests! How fun! And don’t forget to tuck them into a spring vignette or shelves! Let’s make an easy Easter Egg arrangement!
What you need.
eggs flowers and egg cups.
If you want to color your eggs crack them first and then watercolor them.
Crack the egg about 1/4 the way from the pointy end. And gently break it. Wash it out.
Choose pretty, tiny flowers. I got these from my local grocery store and if your lucky enough, your spring trees are full of blossoms. The twigs of the First breathe of spring look so pretty mixed with daffodils.
Remember as a child learning the difference between an aquarium and a terrarium. I went right from minnows in a glass jar to wanting the glow in the dark fish in an aquarium. I remember bringing home the square glass container. The fish survived the trip home in the plastic bag, but after a month of sporadic feedings and not maintaining the water temperatures needed, my little glow fish went to the other side and I was left with an empty container. I felt I had let my fish down, and as a eight year old, I felt like it was the end of the world. My Dad came to the rescue. He said , “why don’t you try making a terrarium with your empty container?” I didn’t know much about terrariums; certainly no more than the I did about aquariums. I was unsure, but dad boasted my interest . I went to the local library and found a book on terrariums. It seemed pretty easy. I needed pebbles, small charcoal , potting soil and plants. Once you plant them in the glass container, you put a lid on it and watch your plants grow. 
Bring the fresh look of spring to the dining table. Easter says pinks, yellows, lilacs, lively greens, little rabbits, chicks and jellybeans. Just displaying one large bunny with a bouquet of daffodils says SPRING has arrived. Once you add festive dishes and linens, all is left is the menu. And that is easy. A make ahead breakfast casserole with fresh fruits and cheese can be prepared the night before. You are able to celebrate Sunrise Service and be back home in time for an easy morning brunch. Check out these table settings for ideas. The simple tulips in lavender colors with the colored eggs are so pretty. For more ideas, please visit

Transferware and flowers. I love the combination. Nothing speaks as elegant as redwedge and roses. Transferware has been used in Southern homes since the big plantations of 1800’s. It is a carry over from England. The transfer-printing technique, was developed in England in the eighteenth century .The process permits the application of a printed decoration, using copper plates and tissues onto pottery, china, chintz. English transferware became extremely popular in the United States , a fact that British potters embraced. A number of the major tableware firms produced goods exclusively for the American market. Specific colors, in particular pink and dark blue were exclusively produced for export to America. Even today a small area in the north of Stafford County, England, remains the pottery capital of the world.
The purple-leaf shamrock is a low-growing foliage plant for the garden that also makes an attractive indoor plant with its rich, vibrant, purple leaves. The dark colors blend well and accent the colors of spring flowers. The touch of dark lavender among the bright yellows and whites and blues make a soft contrast in spring floral arrangements. To jumpstart the growth of the shamrock in the spring, you need to start in January. 
Burlap and Lace burst on the scene in weddings several years ago.Coming from a true Southern background, I couldn’t see the beauty of the two put together. My idea of burlap wasn’t for weddings. Burlap reminds me of being a kid and having a potato sack race. The races were fun, but I hated how the sacks felt when they brushed my legs. Growing up I remember burlap corn feed bags for the chickens . So needless to say, when a bride to be, came to me with the idea of burlap and lace and called it rustic, I nodded my head in agreement, but inside I was saying, “okey.” Of course, as a designer I was going to give it my best to please the bride. It is her day, so I took it all in and after she left, I started researching burlap and lace. I was surprised to see that the idea of burlap and lace goes back to Ireland and the Irish Potato Famine of 1846-47. The Irish have a grand history of lore and charm. And to an Irishman, the lowly burlap bag had its place of legacy. Potatoes came in burlap sacks. And it was potatoes, or more accurately the lack of potatoes, that brought the Irishmen to America. The Irishmen did not want to leave their Ireland but poverty and famine gave them little choice. So to an Irishman, the brown burlap represents the poverty and powerlessness that drove thousands of Irish immigrants away from their homes and families. The term “lace-curtain” is an expression describing the upwardly mobile Irish Americans, during this period. The white lace shamrock, so often displayed on St.Paddy’s Day , represents to an Irishman, that they were willing to suffer to have a better life. So seeing, a white lace shamrock or any lace on a background of coarse brown burlap represents the challenges against many odds to make a better life for themselves. I thought, “Why, this like a marriage “! Two people believing in their commitment for better or worse, and during their lifetime they will sustain a love that has no bounds. I am not sure that today’s brides know this little piece of fact when they are deciding their day. But when anyone ask me for a design using burlap and lace, I love telling this story. Burlap and 
isn’t just for weddings. I found once designing with it, the ideas are endless. Mason jars wrapped with burlap and lace, monogrammed burlap runners with lace and burlap napkin rings and coasters are used. Even personalized flags that weather really nicely outside can be created .
