Our Easter Table

I love bringing out pieces of my Fitz and Floyd collections at Easter. The rabbits always make my heart sing.

The centerpiece was fun to design with white roses, ivy and lilies. The table runner was made by me a few years ago. The fabric was by Moda.

One things about Fitz and Floyd pieces, is the attention to detail on each of every piece they make.

The place settings are Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage plates. I mixed the white, green and pink for each stack. Dainty Easter eggs top each of the double napkins and rings. The flatware for the table is Lenox Eternal Gold and the stemware is Marquis by Waterford Sparkle.

Don't you just love these rabbits! Wish I could leave them out for months!

The crystal napkin rings were a gift from my Mom years ago.

Besides my weakness for dishes, I love to collect ribbon. These two ribbons just say Spring to me with their soft colors.

Thanks for stopping in to see our Easter table!

He is Risen!

From our table to yours, Happy Easter - Judy.

An Easter Table and Easy Centerpiece

These rabbits have hopped right up to the table to become the main attraction in an Easter centerpiece.

The rabbit in the center holds azaleas blooms from our yard.

I love spring flowers and blooming shrubs so when our azaleas bloom, my heart sings a happy song.

Pink and white Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage dinnerware is layered on placemats that I just quilted using Moda fabric.

White chop plates also by Bordallo Pinheiro are used as a base for the pink plates and white bowls.

These Fitz and Floyd rabbits are sitting on a quilted table runner also made from Moda fabric.

I love the 1847 Rogers Daffodil pattern flatware. I try to use it for Easter or other spring tablescapes.

The flatware is such a treasure to me since it was a gift my Dad gave my Mom years ago.

You can see the blooming daffodils on the ends of the flatware pieces.

The pink goblets are Fostoria Heritage.

The centerpiece was super easy. I started with a cereal bowl for a little height then added a plate on top. Next a small berry wreath that I've had for years was placed on the plate. The rabbit vase was added in the center of the plate and secured with packing tape for stability. Green Easter grass was used to fill in the space around the rabbit. You might be wondering why I just didn't use a cake stand. I did try one but it was a bit higher than I wanted.

There you have it, an Easter table for four with an easy Rabbit centerpiece.

Hoppy Easter

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."
