april showers do bring may flowers

Here in Minnesota, we’ve been pretty crabby about spring — let me clarify, the lack of spring. April was a big sloppy mess of snow (yes, snow) and rain. But this first week of May has been glorious — dry and sunny — so I thought I’d post this cheery centerpiece that I pulled together for my sister’s second-baby sendoff party (more on that later). I layered red place mats for the base, and then cut bright orange and pink tulips at different heights and placed them in small glass vases. It’s been my standard centerpiece for ages — I’m not an elaborate bouquet kind of girl. Care to usher in some May sunshine with some of your favorite centerpiece creations? –Megan K.

I don’t have any pics to share, but I also love to split up a grocery store bouquet amongst my many tiny vases. The other good part: after dinner’s over, you can add little bits of happy to every room in the house.
