Fresh Decor

With all the things that I can't eat these days, fruit and vegetables are always a safe bet. In addition to having the sweet treats on hand to eat, they also double as chic decor! Display each fruit and/or vegetable in a separate bowl or altogether, and you're sure to get an irresistible pop of delicious color! Achieve the same effect with fresh herbs and vegetables.
Instead of using regular bowls, display your fresh food in different ways. Use candy dishes, vases, votive holders, colanders, and even pitchers!
Just like planting your pots outdoors, a fabulous fruit/vegetable display is separated into 3 categories: Thrillers, fillers and spillers! The thrillers are the largest fruit or vegetable, displayed higher than the rest and are usually bananas or artichokes. Fillers are simple, round for the center of the bowl, such as apples, oranges, or tomatoes. And the spillers-Oh, how I love the spillers- beautiful, abundant grapes spilling over the edge, or cherries scattered on top and around the outside.....
