Hop, Hop, Hop Into Spring! ~ Spring Tablescape Blog Hop

~ Hop ~ Hop ~ Hop ~

Welcome to our Spring Tablescape Blog Hop.

Once again, a big shout out and thank you 

to our leader, and hostess,

 Rita @ Panoply, the lady who keeps us organized and on track.

We have 16 tabletop stylists joining the hop today.

Links are at the bottom of this post.

Mountain Laurel's are dripping in purple blooms, 

Texas Redbuds are bursting with delicate pink flowers,

and Bluebonnets are popping up in great numbers.

The temps have been unusually warm since late February.

The snow and ice of January left the garden looking sad,

but things are beginning to grow, and the fresh green 

growth is a welcome sight indeed!

We are still weeks away from Easter, so my table may transition several times before because I like to play with dishes.

Today's table is set for four, a ladies lunch.

Each day, I look at the beautiful Texas Redbuds bursting with their charming, delicate pink blooms, and they are my inspiration for today's feminine and fanciful table set with Williams Sonoma Famille Rose porcelain.

We have an oval, gate leg table in our dining room, and I 

most often just use a natural runner down the center 

with individual placemats at each setting.  Today, I used a MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check runner atop a 

natural linen runner from my favorite dealer, Arte Italica.

This plate stack rests on a lavender petal velvet 

placemat by Arte Italica, made in Ukraine. 

The color and elegant floral design are a nod to the Asian inspired traditional Chinese porcelain dinners and salads in the Famille Rose pattern from Williams Sonoma.

Pewter chargers are by Arte Italica.

Here is the lime green version.  

Do you have a favorite?

Take a closer look at the plate stack details so you can focus on how the layers of textures, colors, and various materials

lend interest and beauty to each person's placesetting.

These carrot inspired treat bags were purchased years ago,  perfect to use on spring tables as flatware and napkin holders.

Antique silver flatware with mother of pearl handles are faves.

Use collected pieces for added texture, interest, and fun!

Spring plaid napkins were chosen because I love plaids all year.

Remember to have fun with your tables!

Speaking of fun, I added this little 

blue birdie just for a touch of whimsy.  

It's vintage Mark Roberts.

Glassware is our tried and true Arte Italica pewter wine stems and iconic La Rochere Bee motif glasses for water.

Each place setting has MacKenzie-Childs faux spring blooms within egg shapes and a small chocolate bunny 

sitting in a sprinkle of "Easter grass" within pewter egg

 cups that feature a bunny on an oak leaf.

Here is the yellow version with stripes.

The centerpiece is a simple mix of flowers, a cute salt and pepper set, and eggs decorated in Chinoiserie style.

The salt and pepper set was found at Home Goods this year.

Marked, Spring Collection by Corner Ruby.

The eggs are some of my favorite Easter collectables.

The two emu eggs were hand painted by Pippa Goetz, 

 years ago when she was first offering these unique eggs.

The large ceramic 3 piece egg is another piece from the 

Williams Sonoma Famille Rose Collection.

The buffet is styled just for fun with 

Easter needlepoint and other collectables.

I added a couple of bunny needlepoint 

pieces in my faux bois chairs.

Do you have a favorite?

Happy Easter, friends!
