Easter Tablescape

AspenQn — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:37:01 GMT

I may tweak it a bit, but think I'm finished with my Easter 2014 tablescape. Now you can see why I wanted my pink and green spheres! However, I am pleased with my mercury glass candleholders used as a planter.

This last photo is my breakfast nook. I took a winter (snowflake) cake plate and transformed it into Spring with bunnies and florals.

That is beautiful! I had to laugh. It looks like the Easter Bunny is sleeping nearby.

That's my American Eskimo in her favorite spot!

Beautiful table. Looks like something out of a magazine. I LOVE Mrs. Bunny in her pink shawl and hat. How can you look at her and not smile.

Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE it! I love to decorate for holidays, don't do much entertaining anymore but I still love to decorate.

I love it, looks so inviting! Youu have a great eye for blending textures and varing heights. Very pleasing to look at, lots to see but not a cluttered busy look, just perfect.

Beautiful! Is the bunny couple from Valerie Parr Hill? If so, I saw them at the outlet today, touched them and left them there. I might need to reconsider.

Are the beautiful shiny eggs from Valerie? I've seen similar eggs at a number of places. I really like them.

I like all the components--bunnies, flowers, shiny vase, etc. And your doggie.

Well Done!

Absolutely lovely!!! Everything looks perfect for a wonderful dining experience!!!

Your poochie is adorable too...

I must confess, I was viewing more of your pics and saw your table scapes from the holidays with the reindeer and angel. Where did you get that lighted tree?!!!

TY for sharing with us

Beautiful job! I truly appreciate everyone sharing pics! You sparked spring fever in me ;~). By the way, tweaking is half the fun!

What a pretty tablescape. I really admire those of you who do tablescapes. They are lots of work but lots of enjoyment I'll bet. They just aren't practical for me or my home, but they are so beautiful.

I love all your bunnies! Maybe I should show the pics to my husband so he'll quit picking on me about all my bunnies.

The pink mercury glass and the surrounding eggs - gorgeous!

Thanks for all the kind words...tablescaping has become my "new" hobby. It's easy to change things up and fun for the seasons. I inherited two sets of china from my grandmothers, so it's fun pulling them out and finding new ways to use them.

For those of you who asked about where things came from:

Tablerunner - Lillian Vernon about 4-5 years ago...I bought it and never used it until last year

Mr. & Mrs. Bun E. Wabbit - Hobby Lobby (only 1 set of them at the store and I grabbed them, especially since they were 40% off)

Pink Mercury Glass & Plant - Michaels (again 40% sale...gotta love that!) I bought the candleholders to put into my guest bedroom, but when I saw the small potted hyacinth, I just raised it up and surrounded with moss...fits with the bunnyscape!

Shiny Eggs & Wine Glasses - Pier 1

For the person who asked about the "tree" in my Christmas photos....that tree is at least 10 years old and came from Lowes. I saw a similar tree last year on a website but don't remember where.

We rarely ever eat at the dining room table - it is used for special occasions, but since it is one of the first things you see when you come in my house, I like to keep it looking good!

St Elmo Queen~ thank you for sharing. Your photos of your home are beautiful. The Easter tablescape is so fun and colorful. I haven't seen some of your accessories that you have used in my travels-I like that- you don't have a cookie cutter type of decorating. Great job!!!!

StElmo....thank you for sharing ,just gorgeous !! I have a question, your gold tone flatware....was it from the Q? I have a set that looks very much like it, from the Q, and mine has discolored and looks bad now, especially the spoons. Im so bummed ): they were so pretty. Yours look like mine did before it happened.

Beautiful! Everything looks so pretty on your lace tablecloth. I'll have to check Pier 1 for those eggs. I've been looking for perfect eggs for years, and yours are just what I want! Thank you for sharing with us!

SEQueen you have a wonderful start on Easter. My fave is the pair of pink mercury glass candleholders--beautiful pieces, especially for Easter! Are they from this year? The blue hyacinths are a nice touch; looks wonderful with the pink, very springy.

The rabbit couple looks great on the table, too. I have been looking for a pair similar to this, and have not been able to find anything I like. What luck you found them at HL, on sale too! Did I see these last year?

The mercury eggs are awesome! I have an egg obsession this year, so those caught my eye right away! They are terrific with the pink mercury glass candleholders.

Another piece caught my eye--the plate you used to elevate the small bunnies and nest. I would love to have a set of dishes with a pattern similar to this . . .

It's all GREAT!!
