Easter Centerpiece

On one of our treasure hunting expeditions this weekend we went to one of our favorite little antique shops. We discovered this beautiful oversized Meakin English ironstone platter. We debated between using it as a serving platter for our Easter lamb, ham or strawberry spinach salad. We thought the salad arranged on this platter would be not only a gatronomical, but a visual feast with its almonds, fresh strawberries, crisp baby spinach and its drizzle of dressing spiced with paprika, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and secret ingredients. However, our decorating sense won out over our culinary creation! So, we put together this simple Easter centerpiece. We filled the platter with sweet meadow grass and nestled antique marble eggs in the center.
