How To Create A Convivial Easter Table Design Inspired by Nature & The Glamour of Spring

 

Any holiday marked by copious amounts of chocolate is tops in my happy world.

What was your Easter tablescape story?  Did you share a sweet, candy-laden display or a  rabbit nest with bonny does and her cuddly kits? And what about the colored eggs that look like jewels?

Spring and new beginnings is one of my most favorite holiday times of the year. 

To celebrate this special ephemeral extravaganza, I created a home entertaining table design; imagining fanciful layers using vintage accessories, pieces from my travels, family treasures and fairy magic…

How to Orchestrate An "Eargasm" Tablescape ~ An Entertaining Ode to Music Table Design

 

Beethoven said that “Music is like a dream.”

It permeates and infuses other, artful pursuits.

Not surprisingly then, Music did inspire my latest, creative tablescape design.

A few things led me to orchestrate a music themed table design.
