Easter is such a special day to me. We worship at our church and then spend the day with my sons. My guys are usually watching golf while I'm in the kitchen finishing preparations for a special meal. Like so many of you, I have always loved setting a pretty table for the holidays long before "tablescaping" was a word.
My friend gave me a truly special gift just in time for my Easter tablescape.
My friend gave me a truly special gift just in time for my Easter tablescape.
She knows I enjoy tablescapes and collecting dishes and she generously gave me this beautiful Fitz and Floyd tea set that belonged to her mother. Such a precious gift and I just love it!! The black and white rabbit and the carrot handle are so unique.
Thanks so much Linda!!
Thanks so much Linda!!
I already had cabbage leaf plates and placemats in my collection...so I couldn't wait to create a special tablescape with these beautiful pieces.
This is my kitchen breakfast table and a preview of the tablescape I am planning for our Easter dinner in the dining room.
I layered a simple white Pier One dinner plate with my favorite green majolica. I finished with the carrot sugar bowl from the tea set just for fun.
The set also included a cake plate with three little bunnies surronding a large cabbage leaf. Such a cute piece and a perfect plate for an Easter carrot cake.
Until the cake is done...I put out some carrots for my new little friends.
I love conservatories and greenhouses...this miniature version was on clearance for $20 and I couldn't resist. The dragonfly latch is so pretty.
I filled it with a spring bird's nest, a vintage bunny from GW and teacup filled with a candle.

The conservatory is wonderful and for only $20. What a steal! The bunnies really add to the charm. So nice of your friend to gift you the perfect gift!!

Your bunny dishes and tea set are very unique. I'm sure your boys don't mind something fun like them rather than having delicate, feminine type china. :-)

Loved everything! Where to begin? I, too, like many others, have enjoyed creating appealing table settings long before I ever heard of "Tablescaping." Love your Fitz and Floyd! What a friend. I'm going to borrow your idea of putting planters in a wire basket for a centerpiece. So simple and yet so effective!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and different table setting. I love the cabbage dish especially. Really neat table setting.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining me for Tea Time Tuesday and my Birthday! I am so late! my daughter told me she was getting married Tuesday on Friday. So I been busy with doing a reception.
ReplyDeleteI just love your friend! The tea set is adorable!
I would use it all summer long! The carrot sugar dish, the tulips! I adore this conservatory, and the tea cup inside! The carrots are too cute! The cake looks wonderful on the dish! I love your friend! Wish she was mine! How lucky your are! I do not have the first cabbage plate,and how I wish I could find some! I just love the pots in the wire basket! Just darling!
How lovely! Love it all.. Be blessed. Cindy
