Bird's Eye View Tablescape and Centerpiece Wednesday
By The Style Sisters - Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Here is my version of a "Bird's Eye View" Tablescape
My white Rooster sits in the center of the table keeping an eye on his chicks.
I found these darling chick plates while living in Texas about a year ago at a store called
Swoosie's. It was a really cute shop filled with lots of fun things and among some of their items
they had these little salad plates. Unfortunately Swoosies was closing their doors but fortunately for me
I got them for $2.00 a piece!
Here is my rooster centerpiece
He is nestled among what my husband calls " great balls of shrubbery" and some faux Easter eggs.
I love these huge yellow plates that I purchased forever ago at Williams Sonoma outlet in Las Vegas. I am somewhat sad about them as one broke when we moved from Texas to Utah so I only have 3 left now!
Here is the little French Egg holder waiting for some eggs.
I filled it with some hard boiled white eggs for breakfast
Just a simple tablescape with a simple Centerpiece.
I love stacking plates using lots of colors and fun designs.
I also love adding a little bit of texture underneath with the
woven placemat just for fun.

EASTER TABLESCAPE AND CENTERPIECE WEDNESDAY
By The Style Sisters - Wednesday, March 21, 2012
CENTERPIECE WEDNESDAY IS LATE BUT I THINK WORTH THE WAIT!
My cute mom and daughter all pitched in on creating this tablescape and I love love love it!
My mom supplied the amazing chocolates and candies!
Don't you just love the colors of spring!! Pinks, yellows, greens! For our centerpiece we created it using a white footed bowl filled with multi-colored shredded paper grasses and then we layered it with sone of my mom's Easter egg boxes that can be filled with many of her treats...and yellow and green faux eggs and one of my mom's mini pink Easter boxes filled with pastel colored almond dragee's.
Underneath the white footed bowl you will see the gorgeous tissue paper flowers that we made. We also used them in the Pink Princess Party for my granddaughter...you can see that tablescape HERE. Another fun thing we used is an old tablecloth my mom bought at a yard sale years ago.
We included the rooster in this tablescape and made him stand a little taller by placing him on clear cake plate that has some moss attached on it.
In mini Martini glasses we used shredded white paper layered with some of mom's pastel almond dragee's...ooh I love those little nuggets! But Check out the BUNNY EARS! Mom created these little treats...skinny pretzels, sweet melt in your mouth caramel all dipped in chocolate and drizzled with whit chocolate.
In this glass apothecary jar we placed some of mom's mini Easter boxes that are filled with pastel colored almond dragee's.
I love this little french egg holder! I can't wait to dye some eggs with my grandkids and put them in here.
Oh and the little crown votive candle holders are available now on my shop page
I can't get enough of the tissue paper flowers!!
Those BUNNY EARS are seriously the cutest thing ever!!
Madeline had made some brownie cups and we plopped in some yummy dragee's to make it look like a mini Easter basket!
Here are those darling Easter boxes!
Mom fills them with chocolate turtles in your choice of milk, semi-sweet or white and your choice of nuts, pecan, almond or cashews.
Www.Eatlotsachocolate.com

Here are mom's turtles!! Did I ever tell you my mom used to supply chocolates to many of the Marriot hotels in Southern California! As well as Nordstrom's and a many specialty grocery stores in Los Angeles, San Diego and Newport Beach.
Chocolate is her thing!!
Are you dying over the little bunny dishes!!
Filled with Pastel almond dragee's or Chocolate Toffee almonds or Dark Chocolate truffle almonds!!

Posted with BlogsyMy friend Jennifer recently published her first children's book called Humongous fungus and to get the word out she held a fun Book Signing party!
My daughter, Madeline and I did a tablescape for her based on the book.
Here you can see our table with a back drop of pictures that Jennifer put together showing some of the illustrations from the book. (that's me standing there being Vanna White)
Here is Madeline (much cuter Vanna White)
You can see we made some of those big fluffy tissue paper flowers and hung them from the ceiling in the colors from the book to add a little pizazz!
We used plastic table cloths for the top and for the skirt....
I wasn't too thrilled with how wrinkly the skirt looks but oh well we made it work.
The book is about a little town called Better than Best and as the town grows it becomes sick with a Humongous Fungus...it gets everywhere.
It gets on Mrs. Snickerdoodles Poodles (we made mini snickernoodles for that)
The Fungus even gets in Charlie Twoodles Noodles!
We found these multi colored mini twizzler licorice sticks that look like noodles.
A man named Bubblehead Bingham blue comes up with an idea to get rid of the Fungus (we used blue bubble gum) He convinces the people to give all their money to him but he decieves them.
At the end two little children teach the people in the book how to be nice to one another and the whole town see's their example and it changes the town for the best!
It is a darling book with a powerful message.
It was fun to come up with fun ways to use food to highlight different parts of the book
and display them on a table.
The kids that came LOVED it!
My other Daughter Emily made these fabulous cupcakes and tinted the frosting to match the cover of the book!
The color doesn't even show up as bright as they really were.
If was fun to see all the kids eyes light up when they came to our table.
We used green moss all around the table to represent the Humungous Fungus creeping over everything.
Mr Crandle's flower pot even had some fungus all over it.
Madeline will be showing a tutorial on how to make this adorable flower pot.
We found these awesome flower lollipops at Walmart! 10 lollipops for a $1.00!!
We made some Rice Krispy treats and tinted them green and rolled them into balls to represent the Hungous Fungus.
You can purchase the book HERE
It is fun to use a Children's book to create a tablescape around it... the colors are vibrant and the food choices can be very creative! Hope you enjoyed this and please hop on over to Arbor Books and purchase the book for your kids.
