Easter Is On The Way Tablescape

Easter tables are some of the most fun to come up with and set. That's probably why Pat loves this time of year and has more ideas for tablescapes than weeks to post them. Forget the gale force winds, driving rains, floods, power outages throughout the county, road closures and the occasional earthquake (fortunately nothing big - 3.6 to 4.5 magnitude) just the last seven days, none of that stopped Pat from this week's table....




Accent plates are "Elegant Gray Bunnies" from Pier 1

Pat used two chargers to add color. This one is a "Rose" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate by Homer Laughlin
The other charger is a simple plastic charger (this one was thrifted) and then spray painted light gray
Glassware is from Pier 1 many years ago
Pat chose matte finish "Vault" stainless steel flatware by Gourmet Settings
Pat took napkins and made light weight place mats out of them
Simple centerpiece - premade arrangement with rustic bunnies to coordinate with the accent plates and place mats

Where it came from:
Place Mats - from Pier1 made from napkins
Gray Chargers - Lacquer chargers spray painted light gray to match the place mats
Pink Charger and Matching Bread/Butter Plates - "Rose" Fiesta(ware) chop plate from Replacements,Ltd.
Dinner Plate - "Martillo Almond" from Pier 1 seven or eight years ago
Accent Plates - "Elegant Gray Bunnies" from Pier 1 five or six years ago
Flatware - "Vault" by Gourmet Settings from Costco years ago
Gray Hemstitch Napkins - from Linentablecloth.com
Glassware - from Pier 1 many years ago

The lavender chargers are simple lacquer chargers (any color) spray painted with plastic adhesive spray paint to match the napkin
Pat used asssorted green glasses from our Depressionware collection
