Easter Table

I was up early to visit the Farmers markets in Brisbane to collect flowers, homemade hot cross buns, raspberries for my breakfast trifle and all the delicious goodies one serves a family for brunch on Easter morning, every Saturday my husband I never miss a visit to a local market to buy our fresh produce, we love walking with our coffee's soaking up the atmosphere, hopefully by the morning my flowers will be blooming as I wake early to hide the eggs and set the table. I found these cut hot pink bunny's with the cutest gold hearts, my crockery and tablecloths are still in storage so I raided Jessie's  vintage finds and filled these cute ginger jars with flowers, I'm off to start decorating, have a nice Easter Sunday x

Happy Easter

I may be the only person on Good Friday blogging and possibly the only person also working, today was Jessie fashion shoot, with my car loaded with fashion, bags, steamers and racks it was off to the photo shoot, but more on that on Jessie's blog!

Tomorrow is Easter Saturday and a few of my friends are off to Paddington to have a shop, lunch and a girls day out, but of course a visit to the markets early to pick up fresh daisies for my Easter table on Sunday. I hope you all have a fabulous Easter, see you next week xx

Easter Eggs for Your Table

Colorful natural containers pair prettily with classic silver pieces to create an elegant spring tablescape. Find out how to create your own table decorations.

Gather Your Supplies

1 dozen eggs
Pushpins
Spoon
Bleach
Wooden skewers
Craft foam
Brush & craft paint
Assorted pieces of silver (or pewter)

Crack the Shells

Gently tap a pushpin into the top of an egg with the bottom of a spoon. Work in a circle to create an opening the size of a quarter or bigger. To make this job easier, leave the egg in the carton.

Clean the Shells

Empty the contents of each egg into a bowl and discard. Mix 1 tablespoon bleach with a gallon of water, and use to rinse out the inside of eggs.  Return eggs to carton and allow to air-dry (about 15 minutes).

Paint the Shells

Stick wooden skewers into craft foam and set eggs atop to paint. When dry, fill with candy or flowers, like ranunculus, daffodils, hydrangeas, or viburnum. Display with silver down the center of your table.
