For spring and Easter this year, I wanted to try the simple craft of a candy-filled vase. Florists have used the 2 vase technique for years. Get a clear glass vase that is wide and tall enough to hold a smaller vase. Then fill the area between the 2 glass walls with candy. You can use jelly beans, candy corn in fall, or pastel mints for Easter and spring. I bought a simple glass vase and pastel mints at Dollar Tree. I added a plastic glass for the insert.
Spring means soft pastels to me and lots of pink. Today’s table was inspired by beautiful porcelain candlestick holders, napkin rings, and spring floral plates. Last year I found these beautiful candlestick holders with hand-made porcelain flowers at my favorite thrift store. I immediately bought them and put them away for spring. Last month I found these matching napkin rings at the same store. I’m not sure where they were hidden when I bought the candlesticks, but they are perfect for my Easter table. Each napkin ring flower is different.
