Tablescapes, “Nest Eggs”

I am participating in a spring challenge at Cuisine Kathleen’s this week, the tablescape must include eggs, nests or birds.

I had some bird nests in my winter decor stash, and even though they are painted with gold, when they nestled in by the High Cotton tree, they blended perfectly

I gathered brown and white eggs, ribbon and twine

and “decorated” the eggs with plain and fancy~

I used a large piece of bright pink burlap for a table topper and brown rattan chargers

I couldn’t wait to use my “High Cotton” Tree

There are “nest eggs” hiding all over the place

pink paper shreds make a soft nest

for jelly beans and  salted caramel mini cupcakes

A golden “egg” indeed!

Ribbon wrapped eggs snuggle in nests by the tree

Eggs of all shapes and sizes are scattered about

Bunnies, and cotton and eggs everywhere!

If you look closely you can see a bunny hiding in the cotton tree

Peeking out, hoping he won’t be discovered

Burlap Bunnies hold the napkins

 

There are a lot of Curious Bunnies around our house~

“Gigi, what is all this stuff?” asked Super Boy

“Are those jelly beans?” he asked, hopefully…

“I’m not sure,”  I said, maybe we should taste one or two after dinner…

“I think that’s a great idea!” he said, “And we’d better try those white things! I bet they’re candy too!!”

“Okay,” I said, “But just make sure you eat all your carrots before the bunnies see them~”

“Dad! DaD! DAAAAAAD!,  Is my dinner almost ready?  I’ve got to eat my carrots quick before Gigi’s bunnies see them!!”

Thanks for visiting, I hope Spring is blooming in your neighborhood!

Please hop over to Cuisine Kathleen to see all the spring tables gathered there!
