I hope you had a festive St. Patrick’s Day!
Now it’s time to think about more Spring decorating
Easter is only 3 weeks away!
This Bird’s Nest Cake is fun to serve for any Spring occasion
It also makes a great centerpiece!
The cake is chocolate fudge with salted caramel glaze
and brown sugar icing~
a wonderful indulgence after Lenten fasting!
Fresh green vegetables also make a lovely Spring centerpiece
The cabbage is hollowed out and filled with pink ranunculus
It is on a large platter lined with cabbage leaves and fresh spinach,
surrounded by a head of butter lettuce,
sugar snap peas and Brussels sprouts
You can see the whole tablescape Spring Garden here
Cabbage is also pretty to use on a buffet,
a green cabbage is hollowed out and filled with a dip
Red and green cabbage leaves hold a variety
of vegetables for dipping

Tie ribbons around a clear glass vase
and fill it with pretty flowers for an easy, colorful centerpiece
A pretty hat with flowers and a bow
looks pretty on a door or on a table

or make one like this May Bonnet here

The baskets are painted white
and then I attached a painted wood initial to each
and lined them with a color coordinated napkin

Add eggs to your flower arrangements
Put a vase of water into a larger container and surround it with eggs
Use colored eggs for an extra color punch source
These Easter egg painted buckets are fun to use for decoration
