RAINBOW CONNECTION

An intricate decorative scenario will always put a smile on the face of your guests. Here, a decorated Easter egg set in its own nest and with a fragrant sprig from the garden exists simply to deliver a sense of delight.

TIPS & IDEAS • Scour flea markets and bazaars for pretty plates and other crockery to build up a collection of mix-andmatch tableware.

• You might not be able to eat it, but this hand-decorated Easter egg looks pretty delicious. Paint a hard boiled or blown out egg in soothing watercolours to achieve a marbled effect and dry.
