Happy Easter 2015 {A tablescape to remember}

Because my little girl has a creativity that I admire and I want to forever grow. Because she loves a good table scape as much as her Mama. Because my own Mother let me pick and choose and set tables for dinner parties and honed my own creativity. 

Because she so sweetly stood in front of the closed glass doors of our curial cabinet, biting her lower lips, deciding carefully.

And because, after all, it was Easter.

 

Because she finally decided on the pretty blue dishes.

 

Blue dishes and letters.

Because she stacked blue plates on top of white plates with careful hands and climbed the counters to choose cups.

Because she decided we needed candles and thought of every way to incorporate our mismatched blue to accommodate them on to our table.

 

 

And because I always want to remember the first time she set the table all by herself. 

When she carefully washed it off and turned the floral dishes until they were perfectly put. The way she had to reach and strain across the table, the way she proudly stepped back and smiled after an hour of fiddling and tweaking. 

And because I always want to hold close to my heart the day when her creativity ran wild and she learned to trust her creative instinct.
