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.
