SPRING OR EASTER TABLE

Oznell · ‎11-08-2014

Of course it's early, but this festive table caught my eye. It could be a simple celebration of spring as well as Easter. As usual, I like things with a "forest" accent, which this gives.

It relies more on the "moodier" side of blue, rather than a mix of spring pastels. Those indigo goblets and blue-and-white, hydrangea-filled vases set the scheme.

I love the carefree, unpressed "washed linen" look, combined with more formal elements. Beatiful chairs too.

The setting has the traditional speckled eggs, and also moss and nests, bringing in that woodsy feeling, along with those precious birds.

Those carved wooden chargers and beautiful plates just look so great together. The china is "Toulouse Blue" by Fitz and Floyd. The old silverplate is "First Love" (my mother's pattern-- wish I had some!) Wee frog is a sweet touch-- can frogs be sweet?

All her accents are so pretty. Vintage brass, crystal and marble in the shape of a "floral" candlestick-- elegant.

Would love to sit at that table . Am sure the menu will be as unique . I'd wear a really feminine lacy dress or flowing dress, gloves and an Easter bonnet

Oh my gosh, this is so lovely that I won't even complain about the wrinkled tablecloth like I did in another post. I absolutely love everything about this table.

I keep my dining room table set year round. We only use it when we have company over so it's easy enough to change out. Anyway, I just put my winter dishes and decor away and have it set for spring. I love the change and will probably keep it this way through the summer.

Where do you put the food??? A bit overdone, IMO!!

I'm having a small brunch gathering for a friend's birthday and was just thinking about how I want to set the table. I think I have an idea, but I'll need to get all the pieces together to see if I can make it work. This post reminds me to get busy!

@Oznell I have seen charger plates used before, but never knew they had a name and were called that. Cool.

Yes, absolutely frogs can be described as sweet. I've even used that word to describe some insects.

I've seen goblets on The Vermont Country Store website that are somewhat similar to those in your post. If interested in seeing them, as well as some other related items (e.g., candlesticks, pitchers, etc), can go to their website and in the search field type "Mosser" (no need to use quotes) to see their collection. They are made in the USA, too.
