Spring It On!

Time to do my Happy Dance!  Signs of Spring are popping up around our lake.
The daffodils are peeking out of the ground, The ferns are waking up in the woods, the lake has defrosted and the water-skiers are out!

Spring brings plenty of opportunities to celebrate!  The backdrop Spring provides is so inspiring!  Flower arrangements, door decor,  party menus and table settings….I'm thinking Girlfriend lunch,  Easter Brunch, ready for a Spring Soire!

All I bought was the ribbon!

Mix and Match Soft Spring Colors 

A Tisket,  A Tasket, Who Doesn't Love A Basket?

Embrace your spontaneity!  Keep it simple with splashes of spring, using soft pastel colored tableware, grocery store bouquets, and gathering items in your home that sing Spring!
Showcase the season's best flavors with your menu selections.  Asparagus, Artichokes, Fresh Herbs and Greens, Lemons and Strawberries will help you savor the taste of Spring!
