A Bird-Themed, Spring Brunch

The cold, winter morning cried out for a springish touch.
I started with the twig flatware, the white chargers, and the blue-gray dishes from last week's tablescape. Then I spotted the birdhouses that I found a few weeks ago. I grabbed a blue dish and ran around the house, looking for inspiration.
First, I lined a black tray with moss (to contain the fall-out). But let me digress: I wanted to show you the little nest...see the white eggs? Two years ago, we found them at the barn--we couldn't figure out the culprit, since we didn't have guineas at the time. I saved them. And I keep them on a little stand. They mean a lot to me. :-))

Next, I used a cookie cutter to make Bird-shaped biscuits.



And eggs that we'd gathered at the barn.

Pineapple juice and coffee...

A very egg-centric tablescape, to be sure. :-)

Candlelight at brunch? Why not? :-)




I added Bethany Lowe bird dishes. Each plate is different. Here's one..

And another...

And another.
