Our Dining Room Table.......For Easter!

Hello, hello Glitterinas!

Thank you so much for opening this 

Pink Glitter post.

Today I want to share our dining room table 

that's ready to celebrate Easter.

I love Autumn and all her lovely colors.....

I love Christmas and celebrating Jesus' birth....

but Easter is a big deal in my heart!

Jesus loved me enough to actually die 

for me.....me, a sinner who falls short of 

my potential, every day.......wow!

Then He triumphed over death and rose 

to live again and forever!

That needs to be celebrated.....every day!

But I only bring out all my Easter decorations 

each spring.

Baby chicks, bunnies, eggs all symbolize new life....

all the trees, shrubs, and flowers are ready for 

a new season, too!

The pastels of spring are the main colors I chose to decorate 

with on the dining table.....there are a few bright pops, too!

Let's look at the centerpiece that I'm calling 

my Easter explosion.

I started with a large, crackle glass hurricane 

pedestal vase.

I placed a mercury glass vase in it.....

and put silver, gauzy material 

around that to hide the stems.

Then, in went the long stems covered with small, pastel 

colored balls.....or since this is Easter,

let's call them eggs!

I added some metallic eggs on wire stems 

to fill in around the top of 

the crackle glass vase.

My Mom gave me these eggs a hundred years 

ago and they've been used in a hundred 

different Easter arrangements.

They are real work horses!

I added some curly-cues my 

sister-in-love gathered up for me.

Her hubs was trimming tin and she 

wondered if I wanted the curly pieces.....

ummm, yes please!

How cute are these little buggers?!

These were handled with much care....

I could just see a lovely, sliced finger!

A whole bag of these cuties were delivered to me 

by way of another kind 

brother-in-love, I'm blessed to have.

Three of these curly-cues went into 

this arrangement.....

they add a wonderful element of fun!

When I was happy and satisfied with what was 

in the vase, I wanted to add a bow to the base.

I love pretty ribbon!

I love tying bows on everything!

My sweet husband jokes that when I'm in decorating

mode he doesn't stand still around me 

or I'll tie a bow on him!

The ribbons I chose were-

a pale green, loose weave one,

a hot pink, tone on tone stripe one,

and 

a pink and green plaid, picot one.

These should make a nice bow for my 

Easter explosion arrangement!

There we go....a nice finishing touch!

What do you think, Glitterinas?

Miss Bunny got a lovely bow, too!

Isn't that a sweet face?

She's got a beautiful, porcelain egg in 

her basket that my Mom painted for me 

over 20 years ago.

Mom also painted these smaller eggs.

They live in a glass fronted cabinet the rest of the 

year, and come out to really be enjoyed 

each Easter!

This year, they are on the dining table.

I finished off the table with a sparkly, blue egg 

garland just running around the 

other pieces on the table.

So, what do you think of my Easter explosion 

arrangement, Glitterinas?

Leave me a note and let me know what you think!

I'm so glad you stopped by and let me share 

this arrangement with you.

I'll share our little Easter tree and other 

decorations sprinkled around the house next time.

Until next time, Glitterinas....

He is Risen.....Amen!
