Bright, happy colors abound here at The Gazebo House!
This table went through several changes, as you'll see,
but some of the photos were just too cute not to use anyway.
The centerpiece started out with the apothecary jar of eggs
but was later switched when I found this live geranium with lavender blossoms.
The cache pot that I have it in, matches the handles
on the hand painted Spring Carnival Ceramic baskets on either side.
The soft, Monet-like pastel napkins went from the sides of the plates
to beneath them, once the polka-dot placemats were put into use.
Colorful plastic eggs currently sit in the egg cups
but will be replaced with decorated hard-boiled eggs with each child's name
as place cards on Easter morning.
A wee bit of candy is on the main table but not too much allowed until AFTER the meal.
The white dinner plates are Oneida's Wicker
(a new service for 8 that I found while
shopping with my sister...$21 total!)
The white salad plates are Michael Lee's
favorite Gibson dishes from Big Lots.
The colorful "Happy Easter" plates are last year's purchase.
I found these two harlequin patterned ceramic baskets
called Spring Carnival
at two different places, on two different shopping trips.
They are FTD floral containers
but I'm going to use them to hold my
decorated Easter eggs.
I'm using my Mom's flatware, as it is lightweight &
easy for the children to handle.
It is Wm. A. Rogers Oneida Silverplate.
The pattern is Wildwood/Always from 1958.
Fresh OJ for everybody in
Napoleon Bee glasses & water or milk
in the American Whitehall tumblers.
Coffee, (for the adults) tea & dessert will be served from the side table.
Thanks to Yvonne (StoneGable) for the idea of coloring my sugar!
My glass basket, was an Avon collectable from years ago.
Thanks also to Vintage Sandy for the gift of the lovely quilted mug mats
that have helped to continue the lavender color theme.
They’re not just for mugs!!
May the blessings of Christ's sacrifice
fill your heart with grateful love
during this Easter season.

I completely LOVE it. It's pretty and festive and just makes me want to sit down on Easter morning and open a basket full of goodies.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I felt as I was looking at it. I kept thinking that I'm ready for some KIDS around this place, too.
Rett, what a happy table. Those grand-kidlets are going to be giggling and smiling as they sit around this table. Your new dishes were a wonderful find. Can't go wrong with white dishes. Love all the sweet details and that lavender geranium is one I've never seen. It's gorgeous. And lavender Jordan Almonds ~ well, every detail from the bunnies to the polka dots are making me wish I could hop on over Easter Sunday. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteRett, I can just hear the squeals of the children as they see their name on the eggs. This table is beyond fun, the colors and choice of little Easter bunnies is just the best. Enjoy the holiday and those children.

Hi Rett! Not only would our little Daniel love this setting, but he will have a hard time convincing his Dads that they are sitting at the kids table. A wonderful table filled with the Spring and Easter spirit. Thank you for sharing.

OMYGOODNESS...everything is just beautiful. I simply ADORE your green polka dot place mats and am pretty sure I MUST have some.
ReplyDeleteYou gave me a great idea for a centerpiece for my Easter table..I love the colored grass and beautiful plant. And, for the side table, I will also use colored plastic eggs in a pretty glass container..and..I have a brand new beautiful mug mat sent to me from Kathy's Cottage that I will use, just like you are using yours.
So, IN OTHER WORDS, I am copying your cute self and all your cute things. :)))
