I hope you have a blessed Easter Day. We are lucky to be spending it again with family and realize what a treasure that is. No completely decked out tablescape this year but I did create a centerpiece that I thought you'd like to see. It's been a while since I've dabbled in floral arranging but am pretty happy with how this turned out.

| Easter 2011 Tulip and Hydrangea Planter box centerpiece - Cindy Rippe |
The arrangement was inspired by the tablescape that I fell in love with at the
International Housewares Show last month featuring Paula Deen's new dinnerware by Meyer. You can see a picture of it on
her facebook page.
After finding a bargain on a flat of tulip plants ($4.00 at Lowes) and Hydrangea bushes (Michaels - 60% off) I was good to go! Spring is my favorite time of year and the "New Life" theme worked out pretty well.

Dinner will be served buffet style with disposable dinnerware. We've all been going through some crazy, busy times around here and decided that easy cleanup would be the way to go for a change. (After my concerns about using disposable products I was reminded that they will be recycled) I found these at
Party City. We'll use my stainless flatware instead of plastic and I chose the hand towels instead of napkins because of the way they are folded and the size is just a bit larger. We'll alternate napkins and plates to make it easy for guests to pick them up in the buffet line.

From my house to yours: Happy Easter, Happy Spring, Happy Life!
Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Hi! I found your post at "TAbletop Tuesdays". I LOVE your arrangment...it looks a lot like your inspiration piece at Paula Deen's booth (which I loved too).
Your tray is gorgeous and the arrangement you've made is stunning. So pretty. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
This is a beautiful centerpiece, Cindy! I love the little birds nest. If it ever stops raining here, I can go out and buy plants!!

Hi Cindy,
Amen to the paragraph about Jesus!!
Loved your planter box, in fact, I liked yours better than the one on facebook. Those plates and napkins are quite pretty too. Bet it made for a pretty table.
Blessings, Nellie
