No special flower-arranging skills are needed to make these brunch-table centerpieces -- just a few hallmarks of spring: blades of grass, muscari blooms, and a cache of pretty eggs.

Tools and Materials
Small glass or plastic container
Slightly larger flowerpot
Potting soil
Small flat of wheatgrass
Muscari (or other small flowers)
Wire mesh (or any other material to prop up eggs)
Quail eggs or ostrich eggshell (Quail eggs are available at specialty-food stores and localharvest.org; ostrich eggshells, at uniquelyemu.com.)

Centerpiece How-To
1. Place the small container inside the larger flowerpot. Fill in the gap between the two with potting soil, and water lightly.

2. Tear off small clumps of wheatgrass (gently, keeping soil and roots intact), and arrange them on top of the potting soil. Fill in with muscari.

3. Place a small ball of wire mesh in the small container, and pile quail eggs on top. (If using an ostrich eggshell, no mesh is needed.)
