Edward Lobrano is the NYC-based designer and brother to my dear Swiss school girlfriend, Jennifer Lobrano. Jennifer is also is a talented interior decorator, culinary artist, and Jacksonville-based caterer.
I will review the Kips Bay show house tomorrow — Edward has a featured room at this iconic design showcase. I’m so looking forward to this eye candy interior decor showplace.

| My modest Easter tablescape: Jelly beans line vases, glass insert filled with tulips; blue bud vases (match blue jelly beans!) & filled with blue hydrangea; blue butterfly napkin rings, glass bunny candle holders — all harmony with blue & sunrise/sunset room colors |

| First-year apple tree – espalier — delicate white & pink blossoms! |
 |
| Not so Tool Box Elle Decor – but my happy white star magnolia, white ranunculus and pansies wink back at white house trim for a sweet, spring welcome composition.
It was difficult/challenging to secure container plants this year due to the unusually cold seasonal temperatures this year.

| While not garden image per se, can’t resist sharing my deviled egg presentation. The lustful recipe is always a hit and the platter is made for deviled eggs – with a cherry blossom design – so glamorous. It whispers spring in such an elegant way. Don’t you love dishes made for specific foods? |

| End of holiday week and lo – a rainbow smiled back at us & our gardens. Pax |
