We are having Easter brunch at our friends' home,
so I'm not setting an Easter table.
I pulled this post from the archives to offer a little inspiration
to those of you who are setting a table for Easter Sunday.
Redbuds are in full bloom around town
and our days are warming up with
bright sunshine and blue skies.
Spring has definitely arrived!
I recently found this chippy rabbit
at an antique show.
Antique cast iron Hubley garden rabbit
circa late1800 to early 1900.
I cut some redbud branches and brought them in
to fill a large vintage ironstone pitcher.
A nest of hand-painted eggs painted
in the 80s and 90s by my friend, Nancy R.
An early Easter present!
Porcelain Plates and Mugs
BIA Cordon Bleu
From the aisles of Home Goods
Packaged in these
adorable storage boxes.
All became my creative muse
as inspiration for
Easter Brunch ~ 2015.
I thought the bunny plates would pair perfectly with
MacKenzie-Childs Taylor ceramics and
chargers in Ambiance Vintage Garden.
I'm not a matchy-matchy kind of girl.
When I first started buying these plates in the 1980s,
I'd buy a single plate in a different pattern.
The whimsy of it all fits the MacKenzie-Childs esthetic.
Click here to see another spring table
with Taylor ceramics and
to read about the different patterns.
One thing I liked about the box of plates
was that each plate is a different spring color.
Don't they play well with the Taylor patterns?
Cute matching mugs
are perfect for tea or coffee
or soup or dessert.
Several years ago, MacKenzie-Childs
sold mini compotes in the various Taylor designs.
I'm certainly happy that I added some to my cupboard
because now they've been discontinued.
They are perfect for ice cream and individual desserts.
Or as a nest for special
Easter cookies.
With all the colors going on at each place setting,
I decided my soft pink linen placemats
were a good choice along with our Sir Christopher Silver.
The ceramic bunny napkin rings were
from Sur La Table years ago,
but these cute gingham napkins can be
found at Pier I this season.
Nice quality woven gingham in pastels and
edged with a sweet little crocheted detail.
Springtime calls for
bees and bunnies, don't you think?
Here you are ~
A springtime table ready for
Easter brunch right after the egg hunt.
Easter will be here in
a few short days!
Are you ready?
Are you setting a table for Easter?
Wishing everyone a delightful spring!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty Sarah. Love your new finds from Home Goods. That store is amazing! Those Taylor compotes are so cute. Too bad, they discontinued them. You have a lovely collection from MK. Happy Easter sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you have such discerning taste. Your archival post is just as fresh a second time around as it was the first. Love the Sur La Table rings. Smith & Hawken later made a repro of the Hubley cast iron bunny. I have one sitting on my front porch stairs. He's my house guard. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you, my friend.
Your sterling is just gorgeous! I haven't seen that pattern before! I have those adorable plates too. They are so fun and have such personality! The blossoms are gorgeous. Isn't it fun to look back at the fun tables!

Love your combination of mix and match; and those redbuds-swoon! I'll be featuring you tomorrow as one of my favorites on the Spring and Easter Joys Link party; thanks for joining!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous table. The hand-painted eggs are the highlight for me! My hubby and I were alone for Easter and kept things simple, so no Easter table for us this year ...
ReplyDeleteThis is so weird. I know I've commented on some of these before. I remember the bunny dishes and the cookies. And on the other, remembered Rita's package. What's up, I wonder?
