Ideas for a Spring Table Setting

After a long rest under a thick blanket of snow, the earth awakens with splendid flowers suffused with sunlight and the sap of life - anemones, tulips, daffodils. That is precisely why flowers are an indispensable part of a spring table setting, and they need no pompous vases or bright bows. Spring flowers in clear, pure forms and natural simplicity.

The dominant tones are the pale green of freshly sprouted grass and the vivid yellow of sunlight. For the vase or flower pot - into which to pour topsoil or place a water-soaked oasis - a teapot, a cup, a glass, a jug, or a coffee or cream pitcher will all do nicely.

What I love about spring is that all flowers are equal - the golden roadside dandelion, stubbornly and tenaciously rooted in a tiny strip of soil, and the cherished, delicate tulip tended with such human care.
