Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Judy I decorate with a bunny bowl filled with candy. I will look for Mom's little tree she always put little mini wooden eggs on. Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile " wwjd " <jtwigg Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:14:28 To: Re: vegetarian easter What a fun idea Sharon. I have a china tea cup collection that I inherited from my mil. Back when she got married and thru the years, it was a popular English tradition to give a fancy tea cup with matching saucer. You don't give a tea cup and saucer set that matches others you already have. You then end up with lots of different pretty ones to serve with tea, when friends come over. They were from Canada. I love your bunny and kitten creamer set. So cute. I'm going to decorate for easter either today or this weekend. I decorate one of those narrow thin trees. I have pink, clear and yellow lights that I put on the tree and different little bunny, chicks and lambs beanie babies tuck in the tree, along with some pretty egg shaped light covers, tiny easter basket and egg ornaments. I use 3 stuffed animal bunnies with rubber bands around their neck to attach to the tree for a tree topper. Then we decorate or dining room table all up for easter. Lots of other easter things, Christian and secular tucked in here and there...... I love holidays. Decorations help add festivity and remberance to different holidays and it just makes me happy to be around them. Easter morning, each family member, including my husband and myself have easter baskets of with some special things that we each enjoy. They are waiting on the table when everyone gets up. We usually make a carrot in a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Then we put some cream cheese icing on it. Dye with green food coloring some coconut. sprinkle that all over the cake and then scatter gelatin free jelly beans and Easter candy sprinkles. When the girls were younger, we had several easter egg hunts during the day. Most of the time we did them outside at our home, but we also have made a treasure hunt with clues along the way, when they got up around 10 or so. Judy - Sharon Zakhour @ <%40> Wednesday, February 27, 2008 7:23 AM Re: vegetarian easter I started an Easter tradition several years ago with my two daughters. It wouldn't work for everyone, but we love it. We don't do a regular Easter dinner, we do a " high tea " . We usually do a picnic-style spread with two pots of fancy tea (like Tea Forte and Taylor's Tea Room), fancy imported sugars and cookies/biscuits, an assortment of little sandwiches, strawberries and little fancy cut fruits or a fruit salad, etc. I usually go to our local English tea house and buy petit fours. And then we set out all the fancy mismatched china - I've collected different pieces over the years and now have quite a collection including creamers shaped like a kitten and a bunny. On the years they aren't with me they have a conventional Easter brunch with their dad's family at a fancy restaurant. I wanted to do something special, but a lot more cheaply. :-) Sharon beancitygirl wrote: > Can anyone help me out with a vegetarian easter dinner?
