Since I finally finished painting my flag, the table was cleared and in need of a centerpiece for Easter.

I got out my Easter items and had them spread out on the dining room table in the basement, but I just didn’t see anything I wanted to use as a centerpiece.

Then I started putting away the St. Patrick’s Day decorations downstairs. On the shelf next to the stairs, I had a collection of vases on a green table runner with light green glass rocks strewn all around them.

As I was picking up the rocks, I noticed darker green striations in the glass. It reminded me of the striping in a green flame-less candle I recently purchased.

Those two items were the inspiration for my centerpiece. I added a green vase that looks like a flower before the bloom appears and a glass egg because the top was painted green and I had my Easter centerpiece!
