Is your Easter table ready? If not, maybe my pink and green tablescape will inspire you to get something going or at least start thinking about it.
I hadn't planned on buying a plaid tablecloth for Easter since I had another tablescape already running in my thoughts and pocketbook. But when I saw this pink and green plaid tablecloth at Home Goods, it was all over. Gosh, it was inexpensive, and I knew it would work with my Pink Cabbage pattern dishes. Then I saw this cute rabbit pitcher that was perfect with the plaid tablecloth. Now you know, I am weak when it comes to a bargain and gorgeous colors for my table!
I stopped at a local market for the light pink tulips then kept them at a cool temperature over night so they wouldn't open too quickly.
I just read that you can put two pennies in the vase of water and the tulips will stand up straight. I'm putting the pennies in now but it is probably too late for mine. Maybe it will work for you! I think I light mine drooping over the spout of the pitcher.
The pink Fostoria Heritage goblets and the green etched stemware compliment the pink and green the plaid tablecloth.
The decorated cookies are from Big Lots and only cost $1 so what a bargain and no work for me. I made the burlap bunny ear napkin rings with burlap ribbon from Hobby Lobby.
My flatware is my treasured Daffodil pattern 1847 Rogers that belonged to my mother. I like to use it at Easter and sometimes Mother's Day as seen here. It's a sweet way to remember her.
Are you wondering who is back there sitting on the bread rack? Take a close look through the handle of the centerpiece rabbit and you can see his cousin sleeping in a basket.
He must be tired from thinking about hiding all those Easter eggs for little ones. He's got a big job ahead!
The two shelves of the bread rack are lined with Pink Cabbage Majolica plates by Bordello Pinheiro (chop, luncheon, and salad) plus more bunny friends from Fitz and Floyd and A Corner Ruby Collection.
The Meaning of Easter
Easter is the day when we celebrate
Jesus Christ rising from the dead. Jesus is the Son of God and heroically gave
His life to die for our sins. On the third day after He died -- the day we now
celebrate as Easter Sunday -- His friends went to His grave, and found that He
had risen from the dead. They saw an angel who told them, "Don't be
afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He
has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen."
Thanks for stopping in and "Hoppy Easter" friends - Judy.
