Hippity-Hop Easter's On Its Way



Hippity-Hop Easter's On Its way!


Aestas, the work of artist Marc Burckhardt, 

 hangs in our stairway and was the 

 inspiration for my Easter table.





I set the table with the feel of the 

fresh greens of spring and the

warm earth tones of the soil.





A few of my Easter bunnies finally

hopped out of storage and settled into

a grassy meadow down the center of my dining table.





I wanted the rich wood of the table to set the stage, 

 then layered the Pottery Barn chicken wire chargers 

 on top of lattice motif linen placemats in a spring green.




I nestled Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage Leaf chargers 

 into the chicken wire pieces for some added green.




White dinner plates in Wedgwood Nantucket Basket 

 were the perfect choice to pick up the woven design 

 in the center of the salad plates of Limoges by Laure Japy.

  ~ Marche Aux Herbes ~




I topped it all with a bowl of grass 

 and a natural egg, long the symbol of new life.

 Talisman, by Christophe, was my choice of flatware.



The stack is a nod to the 

layers of one's spring garden.

I like the textures that the stack offers - 

 the cross hatch lattice of the linen, 

 the wire of the chargers,

 the nubby cabbage leaf, and the 

 basket weave on the dinner and salad plates.



Vintage linens in soft yellow are presented curled 

 into tall stems of soft green glass.

 They remind me of the happy 

 yellow daffodils popping up in the garden.



We'll have Easter brunch out with friends, 

 but can enjoy our spring table for meals here at home.




And Remember .   .   .

 "You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those choc'late bunnies
That he's hiding ev'rywhere."
From Peter Cottontail by Beatrix Potter



Tutorials, Tips, and Tidbits @ Stone Gable
Every Christmas and through the winter, we receive boxes of fresh citrus fruits with the oranges and grapefruits nestled into nests of shredded green paper.  I put the packing boxes out for recycle pickup, but the soft shredded paper goes into plastic bags to be used in spring Easter baskets.

Happy Easter to each of you!

    I'm glad that you will be able to enjoy this beautiful table at some point over the Easter weekend. It's too pretty to pass up!

    I love the layers you created, and I could just turn flips (if I wasn't so broken down and dilapidated!) over those chicken wire chargers!!! They really are a terrific foundation for the place setting.

    Have a good time with your friends at Easter brunch, and enjoy the weekend!!!

    Love those Easter bunnies especially the last vintage green one.
    I was searching for a Hallmark ecard for my little grandson and was disappointed that I couldn't find,"Here Comes Peter Cottontail" anywhere. How do you have Easter without it? Didn't Gene Autry first record that song in the 50's?
    I remember singing it as a child.

    I love your bunny mold. I remember a childhood friend's mom had one and made the cake every year! I was so impressed, even then!

    Sarah, Your combination of garden inspired elements is perfect.
    The chicken wire PB chargers, and cabbage leaf plates remind me of Mr. McGregor's garden. :)..and all the bunnies scampering around. The last little bunny with the basket on his/her back is darling.

    Oh how I am wanting some of those chicken wire chargers. I just can't figure out where I would store them. Your table looks so pretty. The stack of plates is perfection, and I love the bunnies marching through the grass in the wooden box. And shoot! Now I want a chicken wire basket too. Love that! I've been so busy with grands that I've missed some of your posts. I've enjoyed catching up with them. laurie
