Easter Candy

As the saying goes, 'Mater artium necessitas' or "Necessity is the mother of invention."  This week I picked up this festive foil wrapped Easter candy.  I was looking for a vessel to put it in, but I couldn't find anything on the shelves in the storage room that suited me. So I decided to raid the crystal cabinet and I found the perfect thing.  A champagne coupe.

Champagne Coupe as Candy Dish

Finding alternate uses for things you already have is very satisfying.  No need to run out and buy a "candy dish" when you most likely have something in the house that will work just as well.  This is truly simple elegance.
