Setting The Spring Table

{ Via: NgLp Designs }

With all of Spring's joyous holidays upon us, some table top inspiration is in order. As we gather our friends and family,  setting a stunning table, will make your guests feel special. Not to mention, it is so much fun to create a beautiful tablescape. All you need is a little imagination, and a few key pieces.

Palm Springs Perfection
The Reptilia mat has been created by my friends, Nathalie Gluckstein and Letizia Petti. These marvelous mats are the perfect backdrop for your Spring celebrations. Handcrafted with fabulous faux skins and high end textiles, this mat creates a modern mix. As you can see, mixing and matching colors, patterns, and textures  adds the drama.

Foodie Friday: Easter Brunch Bites, Recipes & More

Are you ready for the Easter Bunny? He arrives on April 5th. It's a time to be grateful and to come together with family and friends. It's also my 2nd favorite Holiday of the year.  I love the pretty pastel colors, the thought of a hopping bunny, the glitter eggs, and the candy. If I have any life skills at all, one is putting together a beautiful basket.  Many of you will be spending Easter either hosting a Brunch or attending one. Why not do it with style?
