Holiday

[Oznell]

This image made me think of an old manor house in Ireland.  I like the way the lone, vintage-looking bunny presides over the table--

If you observe the joyous holiday of Easter, will you set your table in a seasonal way?  If so, how?

Not with any secular references (bunnies, chicks, etc). 
Instead:
Candles - Light of the World

Rocks - Rock of Salvation

Wood slab/charger - Carpenter from Galilee/Cross

Palm leaves - Triumphal Entry

Flowers - Garden Tomb

That's lovely.

I used to but since my hubby passed away I go to my ex-daughter-in-law's for holiday dinners.  My Mom always set a beautiful table on holidays.  I miss it.  My ex-DIL and her Mom set a lovely table too on holidays.

That's very beautiful, @ThinkingOutLoud ,  and a wonderful way to make tangible the meaning of this most important of all holidays in Christendom.  There can't be enough of that, for my liking!

@FranandZoe ,  how lovely that you still have the kind of relationship with your ex daughter-in-law that you spend this meaningful holiday together.  Hope you have a joy-filled day.

That's beautiful. I've got some Easter decorations in the living room and sunroom, but my table will only hold stoneware and food.

I will be celebrating at a family member's home, so no Easter table setting for me this year.  They are paper plate type people.  I go with the flow when I visit them even though I'm sort of cringing inside.

I was so excited, too, to use my new tablecloth.  It will work for spring settings, too, though, so I'll still get to enjoy it.

Hope you have a good time there, @Marsha2003 ,  and you'll still have your fun tablecloth to unveil at a later date!

Well--for me--way too much stuff on that table--altho would love to just look at all the decor. Am in love with that table itself tho!! when I had a house, I did decorate the dining table with that type of spring decor but only a small section in the middle of it--was contained and then nothing tall to restrict from seeing across it. and I had other areas that I could decorate more elaborately--now I have no flat surface  to put stuff out on. Just no room yet.

I have a white tablecloth and napkins with bunnies and flowers etched in black. 

I use my Fiesta dinnerware in several colors and my Mackenzie Childs courtly check pieces for the food.

My center piece is a Mackenzie Childs Deviled Egg Tray..I have hand painted Wooden Easter Eggs in the egg holders and a candle in the middle.

We have a large family so we need all the table space for people and food.

@wagirl ,  it will be fun to see what you do, when you're fully unpacked and decorating the way you want to.

That sounds like such a striking and artistic mix, ( not surprised) @DREAMON !
