Easter

Easter is such a special time and I love to make it a celebration
 by decorating my dinner table in a special way. 

Yellow and white Easter Table

I liked the look of lemons in the water for a flower arrangement and since it
 fit in nicely with my colour scheme I tried it. I like the result

My new yellow and white dishes helped with the look. they are from
 Bed Bath and Beyond. "sunny day" by Thomas

   A few of the details:

Table favor

     
  I sewed napkin rings
 from striped ribbon.

Simple napkin rings

Easter dessert

I also was so happy to find these little fabric baskets at the dollar tree for only $1.25 each

Inexpensive Easter baskets

I hope you had a Happy Easter!

Easter Dinner

The turquoise "Le Creuset" baking dish in the foreground is 43 years old and 

has been well used. The pink dishes are vintage "pyrex"

Dessert !
Lemon meringue seems appropriate for spring to me. I also made Banana Cream .

Easter Decorating

table favor baskets for Easter

Finished my table favors for Easter dinner and thought I would share.  
Pictures of the entire table will come later.

Putting it all together ...ruffled cupcake liners and pink inserts,
 a little ribbon, colored eggs and candy.
 I found the stickers that I put on the eggs at Michaels. 
The name tags were made with pages app.
(Some of the pictures make it look Like the color is  coral
 but it was just the lighting . Everything is pink, turquoise and white)

The handles are lollipop sticks bent to shape and glued between the folds of the insert.

I must have a little too much time on my hands as I even matched the 

candies to my color scheme.

 A few photos from a previous easter celebration.
