Spring is
finally here!! If I told you that spring is my favorite season, I'd be telling the truth. Telling the truth, that is, until the calendar says October once again!! It takes just one look at that glorious blue sky, budding daffodils, and all the stirrings of newness around me to remind me that spring is the chance for us to start over. This celebration of starting over is one of the reasons I adore spring. Beatiful weather always beckons me outdoors, and something about spring makes me want to partake in every meal I can with the sunshine streaming down on me and gentle breezes touching my face. Is that because I spend most of my week cooped up inside a building? Perhaps that could have something to do with it! A girl has to soak it all in when she can, you know!
With Easter just around the corner and guests for Saturday night dinner, it was the perfect opportunity to bring out some of my favorite Easter things and celebrate the joy of spring in style.
The inspiration for this table came from the "chocolate" bunnies. Playing off the blue bows and orange carrots, the idea for colors in this tablescape came to life.
These speckled eggs from Hobbly Lobby seemed like a perfect addition to the base of the floral arrangement. I elevated it on a glass cake stand to give the centerpiece more height.
The addition of my favorite Pottery Barn napkin rings, along with these adorable silver Easter bunny baskets ($5.99 reg. price with half off!!) from Hobby Lobby, really bring out the antique silver pitcher and make our everyday dishes seem more special.
My son's girlfriend made these adorable bird's nests for the table. She took plain bird's nests and added a little Spanish moss, a cute little birdie, and three tiny speckled eggs. I think these are the perfect addition to our spring tablescape!
A lovely tablescape for spring with a touch of whimsy!
Funny how taking just a few minutes to dress your table can make even grilled chicken taste like five star cuisine! Thanks for joining us for our springtime tablescape!!

Hi! I am visiting from Debbie's Newbie Party. Your tablescape is so lovely. Love the design of your blog. I notice that you have a button. I have been blogging for a few months but I haven't figured out the button thing yet. That's because all the directions I read are for blogs on blogger or blogspot and I am using a different platform. Come visit me and follow me as well.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!! :D
What a delightful tablescape in honor of Spring!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your eye for details and good friends created a memorable time for all. Wanda
Thanks, ladies, for all of your kind comments!! I am trying to link up to those of you I'm not a follower of yet, and I'm having difficulty!!! In fact, I can't even see my followers list anymore. I can't see it on any of your sites, and I get nothing when I click the "follow" button. Wondering if this is a problem with me or with Blogger....not sure. Like I said, I have learned enough in one week to be dangerous at this!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHI there and welcome to blogland! YOu will be awesome if this table is any indication! I actually have the same cake pedestal and ahve a centerpiece on it on my dining room table right now for Easter! Come on over and look at my Easter dining room post to see it! I will be your newest follower. I hope your "following issues" are resolved soon!!!! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteI am very new to blogging as well. All the Blogland Girls have been very supportive of my efforts. It's nice to have cyber friends! Your table is great and I like that your son's girlfriend is helping you... really nice.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! What a beautiful tablescape Farica! I just love it...everything is precious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment on the island vignette. Yes, the container just "flew" into my basket! lol...thanks for your visit! Kristen
What a good idea to elevate the flowers on a cake stand! I'll have to remember that trick...it gets the flowers out of everyone's "line of vision" and still looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table in a beautiful outdoor setting! Thanks so much for coming by!
ReplyDeleteWonderful table setting. Love the centrepiece! Look forward to more posts. Diane
ReplyDeleteLooks straight out of a magazine! Beautiful. Just found your lovely blog via the newbie party. I'm your newest follower and would be delighted to have you follow me back.
