Right: Barbi Krass, owner of
Colorworks Studio in Birmingham,
teamed with her daughter-in-
law Kimberly Goodman of West
Bloomfield to create "Company's
Coming." Combining Krass' heir-
loom silver candlesticks, crystal
and flatware and Goodman's
Versace salad plates and collection
of silver serving pieces, the table
was centered around a two-part
vase filled on the bottom with dried
blueberries and amber hydrangeas
and on the top with fresh wildflow-
ers. The Haggadah covers were
printed by Krass' daughter, Lysa
Goodman Poore (owner of Demby
& Solomon Fine Printed Goods)
of West Bloomfield, on pearl-
ized card stock, then wrapped in
a blue band and wired piece of
trailing vine; Below left: Temple
Beth El member Nanci Rands and
her daughter, Meredith Colburn,
both of Bloomfield Hills, set their
table, "L'dor V'dor" ("Generation to
Generation") to remember the story
of the Exodus from Egypt and its
relevance for us today by paying
1. A.
homage to their parents, grandpar-
ents and great-grandparents and
"their loving legacy" by including
their treasures on the seder table.
Below right: Bloomfield Hills interior
designer Leslie Ann Pilling created
the "Symbol of Passover" on a
24-foot-long table set with objects
symbolizing each plague. Among
them: vintage sunglasses (bor-
rowed from Optique in Birmingham)
represented darkness.
