Easter table for the Grand kidlets




This Easter, I'm doing a colorful
FUN table with the grands in mind.






Lots of bunnies surround
a cluster of fresh flowers on
the sunroom table.
The rabbit teapot was a gift from dear friends
who know I collect them.



I've had all the white bunnies for years.
However, the little cabbage creamer, S&P shakers &
the 3-leaf cabbage plate are new
this year from Tuesday Morning.



Won't you help me find the matching sugar bowl?
My TM was out of them.






I'm using the BL Gibson dishes
(what did I ever do before them?)
I've added a little pop of
polka-dot color with square salad plates.




I machine embroidered the yellow
waffle-weave napkins last year.


There is a R A I N B O W of colors on this table!





The flatware is American Harmony, by Oneida.




The white hyacinths are going
to be planted outside soon.
In the meantime, they smell
HEAVENLY!



I loved the colorful look of the dotted paper
so I left it in place & just tucked them
down into my white asparagus cache pots.


As the sunroom darkens with
evening's approach, the
egg shaped votive candles
cast a soft glow.





The pink hydrangea will also be planted outside.
Its open-work cache pot is really a candle holder
that I found in a thrift shop for $2!


It is so perfect,
it almost doesn't look real
but I promise you, it is!



Hey...no nibbling on the centerpiece!!

  4. Rett, this is an adorable table. I know it will definitely thrill the grands. I like that you left the polka dot paper on the hyacinths. I noticed it first thing before you even commented on it. I'll go check out Tuesday Morning tomorrow to see if they have your missing piece. Love the pastel stems and the sweet details on this table. It's such a happy setting!

  8. I want to go to your house for Easter. We are not doing anything special this year. No grands, or anybody, for that matter. With both of our moms in the nursing home this year, we just didn't have it in us to host Easter dinner. We usually have about 25 people for every holiday. Have a great time!!

  26. Rett, this is so festive and wonderful. I love all of the pretty colors. That tea pot is adorable, and I'm loving the different colors of stems. The napkins completely stole my washeart - so cute!

    I'm so glad you stopped by shortly after I posted the other day and let me know I had the month of the cloche party wrong. It's just a good thing I didn't have to put the year - I'm still using 2009 most of the time! laurie

  27. Thank you for sharing, Rett! And thank you for your comment on my tablescape last week. I was "off the grid" when you posted, enjoying a long weekend in the North Georgia mountains with my husband for our Anniversary. We have a Tuesday Morning store here, if I stop by soon I will check on the missing piece for you.

  41. Lively table for little ones indeed!!! Love all the vibrant colors and fun bunnies- Our tm does not have the sugar bowl- had to go to our's to look for my mom some cutwork napkins and looked for your bowl as well. hope you find it- really adorable. LIke that you use breakable items with the kids- good lesson for them to learn imo.

  42. Well, I just found the bunny creamer and it is the same as the one I saw at TM today. They had two of them, and they were only $7.95. I wish it had been the sugar bowl you needed.
