Edible & Colorful Table Decor

You all responded so positively to the book idea, yesterday. So, I thought it would only be fair to show you the rest of the table. My food did double duty and helped to create a beautiful setting while also filling everyone’s stomachs. Aren’t the fruit kabobs fun?!

Elegant shell with apples
When you are planning your table design, be sure to think outside of the box and create something that is unique and works for you and your space. It can set quite the mood. Here, the large shell filled with apples and coupled with the crystal candelabras, is a fun and elegant look. Go for it and get creative! Design Life!
