On Monday we had SNOW all day long. I was having 4 girl friends for dinner that night but I stayed calm and set my table and got dinner cooked. I wanted to share my table here today. We DID have dinner, everyone made it here. The roads actually were fine so it worked out. Since it is Easter week, I set an Easter table. My centerpiece is these faux tulips, placed on my clear glass cake stand and surrounded by some tiny pastel eggs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFGu_tD4TWJaBW1Ve7Aos2JBPg3dfoU0CNaw13iVbGd1LVOyCTLzMLayksWZFSbWeRSIXSe7iQqnWW4d387e3Nb_2A6p6NFZo202JofG0wnZKMWFtyNg3EETAhSPE-y0Mg5CtQnFVezEA/s1600/Easter+Table,+dining+room+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFGu_tD4TWJaBW1Ve7Aos2JBPg3dfoU0CNaw13iVbGd1LVOyCTLzMLayksWZFSbWeRSIXSe7iQqnWW4d387e3Nb_2A6p6NFZo202JofG0wnZKMWFtyNg3EETAhSPE-y0Mg5CtQnFVezEA/s640/Easter+Table,+dining+room+002.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The tulip candlesticks are the perfect pairing.

I decided I wanted to make a new Spring/Easter wreath, so I gathered my supplies and thought I would do a tutorial too. Please excuse the things in the background, my work table is here in the storage area of our basement.:) In the picture above, you can see that I started with a plain grapevine wreath.  Then, to that I added another twiggy, moss covered wreath. I just wired them together. Putting 2 wreaths together gives you a nice, lush look. Then I took a bush of forsythia and cut it into 3 large pices and placed them around the wreath. I wanted to make the finished wreath much larger than the size of the 2 wreaths. NOTE: Since I did this I cut the forsythia into more pieces and placed them ALL around the wreath to make a more circular design.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX6BkScchQXYOfeYVT587cboD7F-rhGo-Cnglg0-MJVedRnGqsPPPUL1Z1lW913tDSvHVboDcPoWiPwa5L5aeJ9DQ0IWrzEfHpcbpsK86HYIlA60tbf3XNcNEMZM1DaprqdLsoeSYgQiM/s1600/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX6BkScchQXYOfeYVT587cboD7F-rhGo-Cnglg0-MJVedRnGqsPPPUL1Z1lW913tDSvHVboDcPoWiPwa5L5aeJ9DQ0IWrzEfHpcbpsK86HYIlA60tbf3XNcNEMZM1DaprqdLsoeSYgQiM/s640/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+010.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Here you can see the "twigginess" of the top wreath.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr35H9Dj7uXGCruurhzlG9ugtafotQE9CdoW02jQRtxzoCdJhZlMZx9QKPOvjL3We_umnqzlH3L-lde9pX2TddcT37W153-lse-Mu9_HTYTaOnCMbVLTCAI019-s9SlOceMRSUpgLyv-Q/s1600/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr35H9Dj7uXGCruurhzlG9ugtafotQE9CdoW02jQRtxzoCdJhZlMZx9QKPOvjL3We_umnqzlH3L-lde9pX2TddcT37W153-lse-Mu9_HTYTaOnCMbVLTCAI019-s9SlOceMRSUpgLyv-Q/s640/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+011.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I then took a bush of spring flowers and cut that all apart too. This is a good designer's trick, use bushes whenever possible. You get MUCH more bang for your buck!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLxJJftSirtk5I62oRcX6oLyXgjD0PggwuLHMmpEDoXF_bFeFxJ-sKtzEjN336Yi2mGvurnEOn8rDhbqEQ-V-cHVCiDF9gY1Lo64_7Mg7wZAL-SQEbCJMNNiHBHppoCTq5LjR9_SxsGs/s1600/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLxJJftSirtk5I62oRcX6oLyXgjD0PggwuLHMmpEDoXF_bFeFxJ-sKtzEjN336Yi2mGvurnEOn8rDhbqEQ-V-cHVCiDF9gY1Lo64_7Mg7wZAL-SQEbCJMNNiHBHppoCTq5LjR9_SxsGs/s640/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+012.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Here are the pices after I cut them off the main stem. You can see my glue pot in the background. That is another designer trick. NO GLUE GUN. The pot os so mch faster and easier.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWvPLdGoMYvJJ6dorksSzCKWsFplFAN3E338ud7gxMFPFHgm3_udPnp722kpvgq12h5O-dal4Ryd6_9QGfzB3yC0ZqeC1z-GL97-awU-ZLWWvSGCM0arv3v0Q-mz9Yj6J0SAh0tscniM/s1600/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWvPLdGoMYvJJ6dorksSzCKWsFplFAN3E338ud7gxMFPFHgm3_udPnp722kpvgq12h5O-dal4Ryd6_9QGfzB3yC0ZqeC1z-GL97-awU-ZLWWvSGCM0arv3v0Q-mz9Yj6J0SAh0tscniM/s640/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+014.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I then made my bow.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijw549bxx_qNxhZBsN0fUW1pKbFju3YTw0lobaV-wULKSk0rBWRU3T_ySUhEeSvVoNGEjM_vIyUft3ZYvsI2HLysqqxR_AzWggRK_vbeKQS0I3VSm8T8CqGaG0HOqOnsA96y4V41cfkSQ/s1600/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijw549bxx_qNxhZBsN0fUW1pKbFju3YTw0lobaV-wULKSk0rBWRU3T_ySUhEeSvVoNGEjM_vIyUft3ZYvsI2HLysqqxR_AzWggRK_vbeKQS0I3VSm8T8CqGaG0HOqOnsA96y4V41cfkSQ/s640/Chicken+Dinner+and+Spring+Wreath+(3-3-13+015.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>and attached it to the wreath on the left side.
