Yesterday, all day, I was busy "nesting", or making nests, that is. I made these cute little "nest" cupcakes for the women's meeting today.
I also made these little nests out of chow mein noodles and they will be filled with egg salad, also for the women's meeting.
I will be serving mini pita pockets filled with alfalfa sprouts and chicken salad. They, too, will look like little nests.
On yesterday's post, I showed you the "before" of this stand, and today, you get to see the "after". I painted the whole thing white, and made the little flower bouquet to go inside the hole where the handle was missing. I lined it with paper doilies, because I'll be serving those little egg salad "nests" on this piece.
I think it definately looks better white than black. But, should I change my mind, all it takes is a can of spray paint ($1 buckeroo at WalMart), and badda-bing, badda-boom, it can be black again (or any other color I get a "hankerin" for).
For all the pics of today's women's meeting, check back on Thursday for Tablescape Thursday. In the very near future, I'll be starting another blog, exclusively for pictures and information from our women's group. But until then, I'll keep posting them here.

Hi Brenda,
Care to share how you made your chow mein nests? What a neat idea to fill them with egg salad. Of course, by now everyone has consumed your wonderful edible 'decorations'.
Amazing what a can of spray paint can do! Simple pleasures!
Thanks, Brenda, for the recipe. Even if you don't eat them, maybe scooping up the egg salad or whatever you've put in them with little crackers would be tasty and still have the cuteness without the messiness. Just a thought.
God bless and Happy Anniversary tomorrow!
B, you are very creative!
