Easter Table & Vignettes

Has Easter hopped right into this week without your even knowing how that happened?  That's what happened at our house--it's here, before I knew it!  So this post will cover lots of territory--from outdoor and indoor vignettes to my Easter tablescape.

Sprint has definitely SPRUNG in central Ohio, though we have a danger of frost until mid-May.  For now, we're enjoying every bit of it, taking it as a GIFT.

And....guess who's lurking around waiting with his load of eggs to hide?!
(As I was taking pictures in the dining room the other day, some movement outside caught my eye...
yep, that's who it was!!  I looked up just in time to see his cotton tail scamper under the bushes!)

A few of the touches of spring around our house...
my favorite Nicodemus piece--this chubby robin with a few eggs in her nest, in my Bombay chicken-wire cloche,
my wrought iron tiered server, chock full of eggs and carrots (close-ups of the carrots to follow),
and our resident duck couple.  They are so cute; they're always together.  I haven't found their nest yet.

And now for my Easter tablescape...

The centerpiece is a gorgeous Fitz & Floyd bunny cake plate my SIL gave me YEARS ago, so it's the good stuff, not what's out there now, and it is beautiful.  I opted for a simple Depression glass sugar bowl (I must look up the pattern!) for the flowers, because I didn't want to hide the beautiful detail on the plate.

Large dinner plate/chargers are new this year (Home Goods) and boy, do I love them!  I wanted to use these hobnail frosted salad/ dessert plates and the dinner plates were perfect with them.  I wish I had at least four more of these dessert plates...I love them, but they were a gift years ago and was never able to find more.


The napkins are brand, spanking new--Easter clearance at Home Goods--and they were perfect for my Easter tablescape. What a happy find!

The napkin rings were made by my mother years ago.  

Perfect for this pastel table!

Here is the yellow plate...I can't decide which color I like best/which place setting I would choose.  I'd like to know which one you like best: YELLOW, WHITE, BLUE, or GREEN?

Carrot place card holders, pinned by--what else?  

A tiny carrot clothes pin!

The large carrot is from a garland I found this year at Tuesday Morning--I cut them off the garland.  And the tiny clothes pins?   I've had them for years. They were still in the original package because I hadn't run across a way to use them, but I fell in love with them when I first saw them, and I am sooooo happy to get to finally use them!  

What other ideas do you have for how to use them?

The lovely teaspoons?  Another gift from my SIL--a hostess gift when I had a shower for her DIL.  Lovely.

You just might recognize these darling cordials...I posted about them HERE, when my mother hosted a pre-wedding dinner party for our son and his fiancee.

And now, they have a new home! 

She thought they'd be happy here, and I hope they're as happy as I am to have them.  Perfect for my Easter table!

Our son and DIL gave me these sweet little bird s&p last year for my birthday--love them!

And my mother gave me the egg years ago...perfect!

I have a confession...of my many dish addictions, sugar and creamers are right up there...so when I saw these on clearance at Home Goods a few days ago, no, they didn't jump in my cart--I GRABBED them and brought them home with me!

Aren't they darling?  Now, how could anyone pass them up?!

Do you understand?  :)

And last but not least...our baby's high chair, set with what else, but Royal Doulton Bunnykins?
