Happy Easter everyone! Sunday was my birthday and our daughter surprised me with a weekend visit. She made a delicious and super cute cake for me so I decided I to set a table for Easter since we aren't going to be together.
We're heading down to see my Mom and sisters
and she has other obligations.
She knows I love lemon so she made me a lemon flavored cake (real lemons) and a blueberry butter cream frosting (real blueberry's too) and candied lemon pieces.
Those lemons taste so good-sweet and tender!
I wanted to include it in my tablescape but the table is small so
I had to do this in two parts.
Inspiration
I was looking for inspiration for an Easter tablescape and it was
delivered to my door!
This tablescape was designed after I received this beautiful floral arrangement from my son and his wife. There is a gentle mix of orange, pinks and yellows and it fits in the room so well!
While looking through my collection of Easter goodies I found some hand wrapped yarn eggs that my Mom gave me many years ago. I decided they were the perfect element to tie all these colors together.
I clustered some paper grass to set the eggs on which I felt lended to the relaxed organic look I wanted.
I used the Napolean Bee flatware and a rattan charger to continue my theme.
There are four patterns in the set of these dishes.
The Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage dishes worked in perfectly too.
They are a great accent dish.
The pink Bordallo cabbage bowls had to be included with this Easter table and the Mikasa Italian Countryside dishes proved to be the best companion dinner plate.
My rabbit and egg theme have been strong this year. These egg shaped salt and pepper shakers are carried along by the rabbit in this cute cart.
The bunnies are hanging around hoping for some greens to be tossed their way. That little guy on the right thinks he's hiding!
I adore all the different flowers, textures and color the florist incorporated here in this and I think it's beautifully arranged.
And I have to tell you it smells wonderful!
Love the artfully placed willow sticks...
