    Spring Tablescape

    I thought I'd bring a little spring into your life by sharing our Easter tablescape with you today. It's cold and rainy outside, but it's definitely springtime inside the cottage!

    Spring tablescape
    Easter tablescape 2013

    I have been slowing gathering some of the items I used in this spring tablescape over the past several months. It all started when I spotted these napkins in Belk's. It was snowing that day, but the colors in these napkins shouted spring to me and they were on sale! I've used these miniature grapevines as napkin rings in previous tablesettings. This time I just tied a little twine bow on them.

    The napkins are reversible with a pretty stripe on the other side that you can see in this photo.

    About a month ago, I saw this wooden basket in Tuesday Morning, and I knew it had all the same spring colors in the napkins. I couldn't get to the register fast enough! It looks like the rectangles are just painted on, but they aren't. Each rectangle is an individual painted piece of wood. I think it's made from shims because just recently, I've seen some other things online made from them.

    This white linen tablecloth was a thrifty score last fall, and you can read more about it in my post Cotton on our Thanksgiving Table. The white dishes are Italian Countryside by Mikasa, and we use them everyday. The goblets and champagne glasses are by Mikasa, too.  I bought them years ago at the Mikasa outlet near Charleston, SC.  The flatware is by Oneida but I do not know the pattern.

    The aqua bowls are a recent purchase from HomeGoods. I had met some of my Bunko friends for lunch in Columbia, SC last week, and I promptly put them in my buggy.  My sister-in-law gave me the nests in each bowl, and the faux eggs I've had for years.

    Easter tablescape 2013

    In creating the centerpiece, I decided that I would use this fabric bunny whose outfit is a perfect match to the napkins. This is the same bunny that one of my cats fell in love with last year. This year my cat will have nothing to do with this bunny. I guess that was SO last year!

    Easter tablescape 2013

    I picked up these pretty pink roses to tuck into the centerpiece since I don't have many blooming things in my garden yet.

    Easter tablescape 2013

    The roses are small, and there were several of them on 2 stems that I bought at Wal-Mart. I cut the white flowers from a shrub in our yard. I have no idea what it is, but the flowers have a wonderful fragrance. When we moved to the Crossroads, this bush was overgrown and straggly, and we nearly removed it. But pruning and fertilizer have worked wonders on it.  Can anyone identify it?

    Easter tablescape 2013

    I wondered how long the white flowers would last, but they've been cut for 3 days now and they still look great!

    I used these white lanterns in our Valentine's Day Mantel, but with a quick change of a candle and some glitter eggs, they transformed into Easter magic!

    You're probably wondering what kind of bubbly drink I have on the table, aren't you? It is simply sparkling apple cider tinted with red food coloring. It is a very refreshing non-alcoholic drink that you can use to make a toast to spring!

    The bunny salt and pepper shakers complete my Easter tablescape, don't you think? I found them on sale at Hamrick's this week. ADORABLE!

    The sideboard got spring-i-fied with this little bunny planter. Can you see the little nest tucked into the ivy?

    Don't those baby birds look real? I couldn't resist them when I spotted them at World Market!

    Farmer Bunny is hanging out in the corner cabinet along with a little wheelbarrow that I found at the auction.

    I hope you've enjoyed seeing our Easter tablescape. It should put a little spring in your step!

    The bunny says it all, don't ya think?

      The white flower in your arrangement looks very familiar to me. We have a shrub in our yard that my Grandmother always referred to as a "Pearl Bush". I love the white flowers in the springtime! Your arrangement and other decorations are beautiful and add just the right touch to your home. Thanks for sharing!

      So Rascal has earned his name after his brief fling with the bunny. Rascal the playa! Go on with your bad self, Rascal!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

      I am really, really hooked on this centerpiece. Yes, it does appear that each individual slat is perhaps from a shim. This is super cool! I wouldn't have the patience (OR the skill, I'm sure!) to make it myself, but this is really slick! I'm sure you were hustling to that checkout stand to make this your own! You'll be able to use it in so many different scenarios with all these wonderful colors! It's perfect for the table you've created here...like it was made to go with those napkins!!! I LOVE the color of those bowls! They really have that "Easter egg color" going on!

      Have a wonderful Easter, and give Rascal a high five from me! 🙂

The lanterns with eggs inside is a great idea. Wish I could stop by to share in that "bubbly" drink and have a toast to the spring-feeling of your table! Happy Easter!

      Hi Jane, I had to go through your post twice as I loved it sooo much! The shade of blue of the bowls is just so soft and pretty. The centerpiece box would've hopped into my cart, too. Isn't it perfect with all your colors from the inspirational napkins? Your darling bunny with his chalkboard is adorable and those s & p shakers are, too. I love the pretty filled lanterns. It all says "Spring"! Happy Easter blessings.

Love the nest with those hungry baby birds, and the box from Tuesday Morning is just great. Happy Easter to you and Leo. xo
