Easter Decorating

Pretty Pressed Flowers

Here's a quick and easy way to enjoy nature's beauty indoors:

1. Snip a few flower blooms, petals, and leaves.
2. Place between two clear glass plates to make an attractive place setting.
3. Beneath the glass plates use solid colour plates and linens to highlight the pretty flowers.

spring inside your house Mother Nature provides us will all kinds of ideas. Celebrate Easter by setting a pretty table that echoes all that you love about spring:

• Start with flowers, a true symbol of new life. Enjoy flower motifs on china, table linens, or enjoy the real deal with a fresh cut fragrant bouquet or arrangement.
• Use wine glasses or goblets as tealite holders or as vases for a single stem flower. Line several down the centre of your table and sprinkle a few jelly beans or chocolate eggs. Add a magnetic butterfly to each glass! (see above)
• Adorn a napkin at each place setting with a small bloom and leaf tied with a pastel ribbon.
• Nest a few dyed eggs in Easter grass at each place setting. For an authentic robin's egg look, use a tooth brush and brown craft paint to splatter delicate markings on blue dyed eggs.
• Make a nest out of Spanish moss, wrap a single strand of florist wire around the outside edge to help keep it's shape. Add some candy or foil wrapped chocolate eggs.
