Working on the Easter table decorations is like playing house. The process is both fun and frustrating. First I drug out almost every possible tablecloth, placemat, and napkin I own. (It is a characteristic I inherited from my mother. I love to see all my possibilities and choose what I want to use.) I got down the box of spring decor and searched the house. Then I started playing.
The Easter table has gone through several stages, and it might even change before Sunday, but here it is for now, and I thought I would share it with you.
Disclaimer: I do realized that this is “too much” on a dining table that will be used for dining, but for Easter decoration it will work. Again, it is fun to play house.
These are the Peter Rabbit plates I got from my dear friend Anne’s estate sale. I love to use them every Easter. What fond memories I have of Anne. Maybe I went a little wild layering placemats, but I wanted layers of colors and textures. On the table is an light beige cloth and a bright green burlap runner. FYI: There are four layers of placemats – pink, light green, a straw dark green leaf, and the brown round woven mat. Pink pottery plates were used for chargers.
The little pedestal cupcake stands that I got earlier in the year at The Christmas Tree Shops will hold cinnamon rolls for our Easter brunch. The bunny napkin rings were bought years ago at a sale, and the vintage white napkins with appliquéd flowers were begging to be on this Peter Rabbit Garden table. Peter Rabbit figurines are tucked into the “garden”.
Upstairs I found this little nest basket filled with eggs. With the vines and the pretty violets, it seemed perfect for an Easter table.
A mercury glass compote is filled with moss and blue eggs. It makes a good nest.
A garland of green wispy vines was cut apart to use as filler on the table and in the egg basket.
Paper mache eggs fill a wire basket. I have had these for years, and love them. I should fill them with treats before the brunch.
Be still my heart. I do love these bunnies that I have had for years and years. They appear to be iron, but they aren’t. Stone pedestals work well for risers on the table. Just in case you want to know, the vintage goblets are American Fostoria.
Now I am ready for some friends to hop by for some fun.
Blessings to you and yours,
I would love for you to send me pictures of your Easter tables. It would be wonderful to see them.
