Well, while you are busy
planning your cruise life,
make sure you leave a bit of tie
for a fabulous Easter Spring pa.
Party planner extraordinaire,
4 to 5 magazines. Monica Hart is here with
all the fabulous ideas you always bring.
Such beauty. But the thing I love about you,
Mon, is that you make it attain.
That's what I hope to do.
You really, really
do. You make it so I can.
You know, maybe only have a few
hours to get my party together,
but boom, I can make it happen.
But a bang. You got a big although you
have taught me to start collectg
things that I will use in the future.
But we'll get to that in a minu.
Absolutely. First tell me aboutr
overall theme here, the overall theme.
I like it natural.
I want something that's almost.
Exclusively edible.
I want a little soulful note to.
And I absolutely, as you said,
wanted to be doable.
So, yeah, let's, let's get this done.
All right. Let's get this done.
So what are we starting with over here?
We're going to start with a sugr
rush for kids waiting to happen.
This is a centerpiece for the kids table.
And what I did, it's an edible Easter basket,
and this is movie theater candy.
And you give a girl a glue
gun and see what happens.
So this actually, you glue them all together.
I glue them all together.
And then I tried to give it some green,
so I added some.
Wheat grass and actually go foraging.
This Easter, I went to my garde.
I clipped a Willow branch.
So now I have a little handle.
Tuck in some chocolate eggs and look at that.
Isn't that the kids would love
this at the kids table, right?
You kid an edible Easter basket.
So that's kind of fun. Yes, I love it.
I know you love a glue gun.
I do love a glue gun.
And with the cutlery,
I thought this would be fun.
I love these little things.
They're perforated.
They're cloth napkins.
And I wrapped,
yeah,
I wrapped some wooden cutlery in
there and you tuck in a little
greenery and it kind of looks l.
Make a carrot, right?
Oh, let me see that, let me see that.
Oh, that is so cute.
It does look like a little carrot carrots.
I thought the kids might like t.
Super easy fragrant again.
It's edible.
And now we've got the real deal,
the real centerpiece.
And I wanted this kind of
Easter metal like feel.
And So what I did,
I've got this fun footed bowl.
I went and got some more wheat grass.
You can pick that up at your local market.
And then I got these dainty little daisies
and I kind of tucked them around there.
They're super inexpensive, which I love.
And then.
Then I put in a little white chocolate Bunny.
And then look,
you can water your centerpiece.
I was gonna.
And then do kind of like being n
the A Dewey Meadow. See, look,
look at look at how pretty that.
Look at that.
OK, that little watering can is too much.
That fun.
If you have a watering can, it's really cute.
They put on your table as well.
That is. That's a really cute o.
I love it. Flanked with this.
These are footed as well as the bowl.
A really simple candlelight. Th.
Remember I said I like something soulful?
Check it out. This right here.
It was my grandmother's ravioli.
Oh my God, watching her make ravioli.
Flower on it. It's antique.
My gosh. I watched her make rav.
I make ravioli Easter just like she did.
But I don't have a recipe.
So it's more like that core mem,
that soulful thing.
And it just brings this
wonderful story to the table.
And I love to tell that table.
That story at the table every
Easter is the do something soull
at the table as well and bring
the memories that your memories
that really bring home.
Or sometimes we need that.
Like we forget the meaning
of a holiday or the season.
You know, even, you know,
friends of mine going into Pass,
they say, hey, I have to,
you know, my life is so busy
I have to stop and remember.
To to remember what my family
celebrated and taught me. And so
that's that's so important. It t
adds this amazing layer.
I agree, I agree. Celebration.
So OK, more on the tablescape.
I love these little place
mats because look at this.
Reminds me of my little Easter t
brim when I was a little girl.
They're woven. It's kind of cut.
And look at this.
I love a little scallop plates.
And then this napkin has a scald
edge and it looks like a Bunny.
I'm going to show you how to do this.
She made Bunny.
Like I tucked a little a little egg in there.
That's a candle.
What you're going to do is
you got the square, right.
This can be a little tricky,
but I'm going to do it back herd
I'm going to fold it up like th.
Well, ostensibly, I am. There w.
We're going to go like that, ri.
And then you got this little triangle.
And then you just start folding it down,
Bada Bing, Bada Bing.
So you just roll it down.
Roll it down, baby. Here we go.
Here we go. And then go like th.
And you got your little so easy.
And then like, you know,
you have your your colored Easter eggs here.
My kids love that.
But that's a great thing.
I mean, because you could even o
that with a paper napkin, right?
Absolutely.
And then tucking a real and tucking a real.
This is cabbage dye, and this is DIY.
Look, I didn't have a little pl.
I just broke that.
No, this is a sterling silver a Candlestick.
And so I had this plate.
And this is actually a cabbage .
So it's red cabbage.
So it's kind of all earthy and .
I like that.
This is a fun little table idea.
Natural, edible, super fun.
But we have to have a cocktail.
Well, I was gonna say you know .
I mean, last time we did.
So I'm ready for this.
Now, what is this beautiful tra?
You've got what we're doing, a Margarita.
And what I like to do is get a.
Really textured tray.
A retant tray like this.
Loaded up the beautiful flowers,
tulips, dainty daisies.
I've got mint for garnishing.
I've got up front.
I've got, um jalapeno lime cucu.
Because what I did is I infusedt
the Blanco tequila with cucumbe.
Just cut it up and put it in th,
let it hang out.
And then what I've done,
I'm gonna have you get this, OK?
You're gonna do some muddling.
So I've got some tequila
in here that's fresh mint,
and then I muddle it in there.
So that's kind of.
And when you muddle it, it takes the.
Oils out of the mint so becomes
even more fragrant and wonderfu.
And then I put that in the cock.
But I've already done that for you have.
And on the rim we've got this fn
little spicy mixture. I love it.
These are my favorite new cups.
They're little Terra cottas.
You get these
online or something with the
starts of the nay. And here we .
So here we go. Got our cocktail.
OK, there's for you. This one's for me.
Hang on. Do you do you want to shake it?
Yeah, we can do a little shake,
shake, shake. You know us.
We like to shake, shake it.
Let go, okay. All right.
And we're gonna. All right.

Oh, that's very dangerous. That's good.
All, my friend little agave.

a Blanca tequila that I've infused with.
I did lick the room cucumber.
And then we did our little mudd.
