Bordallo Cabbage Easter Tablescape

Easter is fastly approaching and it's time to set another bunny-themed tablescape. Somehow using Bordallo Pinheiro "Cabbage" seems the likely choice to use for dinnerware. Pat paired it with an accent plate from Pier 1 to create this week's table.




Flatware is Noritake's "Iron Brown"
The accent plate is "Lilly" from Pier 1
The dinner plate is the iconic "Cabbage" by Bordallo Pinheiro


For years these brown goblets were my everyday glassware - "Brown Clarion" by Lenox



We found this cute Water Pitcher on a discount shelf at Pier 1 several years ago

Where it came from:
Weather White Charger - from Pier 1 several years ago
Dinner Plate and matching cup and saucer - "Cabbage" by Bordallo Pinheiro from our collection
Accent Plate - "Lilly" from Pier1six years ago
Bread and Butter Plate - Vintage "Forest Green" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements,Ltd.
Flatware - "Iron Brown" by Noritake more than 40 years ago from a local store now out of business
Glassware - "Clarion Brown" by Lenox at least 45 years ago from a local store now out of business
Cabbage Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 several years ago
Sisal Bunnies - from Pier and TJMaxx
Orange Centerpiece Pitcher - from Pier 1 seven or eight years ago
Candles and Candle Holders - from Michael's

We will be joining Susan for "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch this Thursday: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/

Easter Table #2

It's hard to believe as I look outside that Spring is close. We have been experiencing uncharacteristic freezing cold weather along with loads of rain and hail the last several days. Couple that with lots of wind and we have another "fun" time in the Redwoods. So it might seem a contradiction to set a sunny Easter table but it was just what we needed.




Flatware is "Pure" by Gourmet Settings - neat to look at but not very practical to use. The spread of the tines on the fork is too narrow and the spoon "bowl" is small and too deep - making them really hard to eat from.
The accent plates are part of a set that Pat bought from Pier 1
The dinner plate and matching bread and butter plate are "Perwinkle" Fiesta(ware)
The charger plate is actually a Depression ware Sandwich plate - Cremax Bordette by MacBeth-Evans Glass Company
Glassware is "Kara" from Pier 1



Where it came from:
Periwinkle Blue Place Mats - from a local Department store no longer in business
Yellow Chargers - "Cremax Bordette" Sandwich Plate by MacBeth-Evans Glass Company purchased from a local antique store
Dinner Plate and Matching Bread and Butter Plate - "Periwinkle" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacements, Ltd.
Accent Plates - "Easter Bunny" from Pier1 several years ago
Flatware - "Pure" by Gourmet Settings from Bed, Bath, and Beyond many years ago
Glassware - "Kara" from Pier1 many years ago
Sisal Bunny Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 six or seven years ago
Assorted Centerpiece Bunnies - from Pier 1 and TJMaxx
