Easter Tablescapes

Every year around Easter time I tell myself I should put up some spring decorations and every year I just draw a blank.  Hanging a bunny on my front door really isn't my style and what else is there??

umm how about flowers!!

Today I am going to the farmers market and let my creative juices flow.  My plan is create something just fabulous for my table for Easter, thank goodness for pinterest.  I do love the special touch of adding something seasonal to my flowers.

candy

plastic eggs

fruit

and the best thing I have seen with carrots and asparagus in a long time

and if this still does not help you, take a class at your local florist.

We are all ready to go here.

Outdoor Tablescapes

This Friday, not only is my sister and her family coming to town for the weekend and staying with me, I am also throwing a birthday dinner for my dad's 70th.

It looks like we are going to have beautiful weather on Friday so my plan is to have dinner outside.  I love dining al fresco, there is nothing like enjoying a good meal with all your family and friends on a beautiful starry night.

Pinterest is hands down the best site for party planning, the ideas are endless.  It has been my go to for some great outdoor tablescapes.  The thing I really want is lots of candles and white lights strung across my deck.  My hubby loves when I give him a challenging project and he claims that stringing the lights across the deck is no small feat.  Now that he has promised to somehow take care of the lights, I can work on the tables itself and the menu.

See what I mean, Pinterest is why I never get anything done!!
