Rosanna Bowles from Rosanna Inc. has pulled off an exceptional Spring 2009 collection (as she did in a previous post I listed featuring her Holiday Collection).
Her spring collection inspires and will motivate you to move your dining experience out doors!
Some of her new collections are:
Delizioso - this line celebrates the Italian cuisine by featuring its four most often-used herbs: basil, sage, rosemary, and parsley.
Dinner Party - layer one these plates along with another of Rosanna’s other collections for the ultimate table top look.
La Mer – my favorite line, with images taken from authentic British turn-of-the-century botanical renderings of sea life. Each plate features a 24-karat platinum design accent. 
La Patisserie - These footed bowls, inspired by Victorian compotes, make versatile statement pieces, whether used separately or stacked to form an elegant tower. Fill them with pastries, flowers or fruit for a gorgeous centerpiece. 
Le Gateau - the modern interpretations of the iconic cut glass cake plates of 1920's America. These pieces have enough integrity to stand on their own, or work wonderfully together to make a striking statement when laden with cakes or hors d'oeuvres. 
Mediterranean Holiday - this colorful set features four popular Mediterranean coastal vacation spots: Majorca, Cannes, Santorini and Amalfi. Rendered in brilliant blue and green summer tones, they pair perfectly with the matching glass tumblers. 
Mixed Salad - printed with the recipes of four of the most delicious summer salads, these large bowls are perfect for a main-meal salad or as one component of a fabulous dinner party. 
Wish You Were Here - Each individually boxed mug depicts a scene from one of the most famous European beaches of the 1950's and a bathing beauty in period dress. 
As you sip your morning tea, escape to the glamorous beaches of France, Italy, Greece and Spain.
After reading this are you mood for a little alfresco?

The taller, thinner shape of the sea green glasses made from 100% recycled Mexican glass, are a perfect match.

This Easter, take hard-boiled eggs to new heights by embellishing them with lacy patterns. Once the eggs are dyed and dry, pile them in a large bowl to use them as a centerpiece. 
I got this inspiration from MS as well, but her directions were a bit much for me. I would use standard hard boiled eggs and add glittered stickers to them - there are so many great stickers options out there this would be an easy project for anyone to do!
Narrow ribbons and rickrack make instant egg decorations (just adhere with glue). For even easier decorating, look for self-adhesive fabric tape in pretty colors and fun patterns -- a great find from scrap booking supply stores.
These are really different and lovely to look at. It takes a while to dye them but I think they are worth it!
These have to be my favorite of all decorating styles – I love them in soft pastel colors.
