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.

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 ~

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!
