...easter brunch

hello dear ones!

i hope you all had a most lovely
and blessed easter!


 


 
upon my return to ohio,
it has been a whirlwind flurry of action
and i have almost caught my breath!!

NOT!


 


regardless,
i look forward to easter every year
preparing for a most holy day,
anticipating my menu for my favorite meal
~ brunch ~




 
i wanted light and ethereal this year
...like meringue
ha!!
which, as it just so happens,
is what i served for "dessert"
after champagne sauce, eggs benedict! 
yep!
little meringue nests
 filled with vanilla greek yogurt,
topped with fresh blackberries...

fabulous

so anyway,
i wanted a lovely tablecloth
light and airy like
so i sewed up this see-thru ruffled beauty



and added luscious smelling lilacs to the sides...

the scent was glorious!




 
simple elegance


 


 
i have a thing for wild violets,
so i scattered a few all around the table
as one can never have too many spring flowers
can they?!




...here is my centerpiece


 


 
a beautiful "optimist aquiesse" candle (LOVE these),
lilacs and a stained glass cross...




a few lace eggs i enjoyed creating,
dangling from these linen flowered, white washed branches...


 


 
i couldn't resist these pearl white, glass eggs that i spied at home goods
i hung them by a few sea silk ribbons at my windows...




 
they had bling on the top of them
and you must know by now that i am part crow

oohhhh, sparkle, shine, sparkle
LOL!!



 
it was a lovely day spent with family,
celebrating our King!

priceless!

on thursday,
i will be sharing a few of my favorite things at the moment:)


see you then!

  18. Wow- this is one of the most unique table setting's we've seen. It's so heavenly! Love the lilac purple & green as a pop of subtle color. My mouth is watering with that food line-up too - especially the dessert!
