Simple settings for social gatherings.

I don't know if I am more excited about Delaney's pending cupcake social, or Decorating for Easter! Well actually, I should say shopping for Easter. There are so many great ideas out there, but this has to be one of my favorite settings.

And the reason is that there isn't a lot of 'stuff' to purchase to pull this off. As you can imagine, with 4 children, and a huge family, there is plenty to buy for Easter, so a beautiful table setting that can be arranged with items stashed around the house and look this inviting makes me smile. Of course I will have to get flowers, but how simple can this be? I actually have some pink bunting that I made for Delaney's 3rd birthday party, and now I have an excuse to reuse it. I'll dig out a photo for you soon.

Did you hear that? I think I just heard my cake plate whimper. I must admit that my highly requested rum cake would look fairly puny on a stand like the one in the picture above, but that has got to be awesome for a large gathering of people. I think I need it. But I don't dare double the recipe for the rum cake.....no one will be able to drive home. I think I need a new cake recipe to go with that new pedestal cake plate. And the hunt is on. lol! So much for using stuff around the house.
