An Eggcelent Centerpiece
By Susie Coelho
Easter is another holiday that I love. The colors are lovely, warm, and inviting. For me, it’s all about the wonderment of children seeing the Easter Bunny, searching for eggs, playing games, and running on the grass. I love the children’s beautiful frocks and hats with fresh flowers on them. I vividly remember Easter growing up; as for me, it was first all about the dress! My ritual each year was to go with my mom and buy a new Easter dress full with frills and a special hat. We would always decorate the hat with some fresh flowers.
