All my house plants are stashed away upstairs because of wallpaper removal and painting. I NEED to get them back out! .-= Abbie´s last blog ..My big girl =-.

I’ve done this before with Easter eggs but I love the simplicity of yours with just the ribbon and pedestal.
I think I may need to get some wheatgrass this week!!!
Thanks for sharing

Ohhh, love that ribbon! I love to use ribbon and have drawers and boxes full of them. I am cutting back and working on using up my stash. The wheatgrass reminds me of how I decorated for a buffet luncheon 2 years ago. A neighbor was patching a piece of his lawn and had some sod left over that he gave to me. I put on my floor length tablecloth, covered the top with a well tucked plastic cover and topped that with the sod. I covered the sod edges with thick ribbon and laid our meal on top of that. Since it was in our garden the effect was beautiful and quite a hit with the women attending. I had rolled out the sod the day before and brushed the grass lightly with my hands to stand it up. Just a light misting the day before made it look good without making it too wet or heavy to work with. Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas with us, I enjoy your blog so very much.

What a pretty idea. I’ve even seen some “fake” grasses that look so real. I decided I want to find a few really pretty trays to set in the center of my coffee table and on my dining room table. My extra tables just look so bare.

Sandy, I get get your cost down to pennies. Go to the bulk section of your grocery or health food store and buy 1/4 cup or so of wheat berries. Plant them now in a container to fit on your pedestal and they’ll be beautiful by Easter. I did that last year and it was such a hit. The vibrant green is lovely on a table.

Love the look of the wheatgrass, but I think the only safe place would be on top of the fridge, or we'd have Hobbes x 2 ;o) .-= Joy´s last blog ..A different kind of concrete! =-.

Love the wheat grass idea. We had a very sweet cat named Hobbes too.

I’ve used wheat grass before, but thanks for the fresh idea and to TT; I’ve been saving a great manzanita branch with plans to decorate with painted mushroom birds, but that’s a great idea too.

Love the wheatgrass idea. I’m going to buy some this weekend. I also LOVE ribbon. I buy it anytime I can find it on sale. I cannot wait to put this together!

I love your wheatgrass centerpiece. I have thought of it for Easter to set eggs in, but not just for a centerpiece. Very cute! Joni
