Celebrating Easter

A Seat at My Table

Before any special meal, I like to "set the scene." 

Creating a tablescape that matches the mood and menu is a key element for entertaining.

Easter is a time of renewal with new growth and blooming color.
Reflect what the season means to you and your family on your Easter table.

This Easter, I want to use my new asparagus motif plates I discovered on a recent antique shopping trip for clients.  (Remember, last week I shared my obsession with china.)

I found these flocked bunny placemats at HomeGoods, mixed with cheerful pink napkins and flower napkin holders from Pier One.  The lettuce leaf placemat adds an additional layer of texture and color.

Organza bags hold candy treats at each place-
setting.  Six bags for $1 at Dollar Tree.

By now,  you know I like to use ordinary objects

in extraordinary ways.  For the centerpiece, 

I filled a crystal Kate Spade ice bucket with plastic 

Easter eggs. The Easter eggs add a festive touch 

and help keep the flowers in place.  For the flowers, I 

gathered an assortment of fresh flowers in a pastel palette.

The buffet holds dessert dishes (Kate Spade for Lenox) beautifully displayed on a white hobnail milk glass cake stand.  Easter egg colored hydrangeas are arranged in an antique lidded silver ice bucket.  Some bunny wants dessert!

entertaining ideas, see my
