Rustic Easter Bunny Table

Instead of a traditional Easter table like last week's, Pat decided to set a more rustic table this week. She used burlap place mats and sisal bunnies to set the tone.

Pat tried green glassware and brown glassware - she settled on the blue to bring in more color

Flatware is "Twist" by Gourmet Settings

We bought this set of dinnerware ("Sofie") last year at Pier 1 - but it's available again this year.

Pat uses the dinner plates throughout the year since they do not have bunnies on them.

Although Pat didn't put the soup bowls on the table, I wanted to show what it looked like

One of our glassware "staples" - from the Dollar Store

To use the table, Pat put place cards leaning up against a ceramic carrot

The centerpiece is one of my favorite sisal bunnies (from Pier 1 last year) and a wooded cart that Pat's husband "remodeled" for our table.

 Here's what the table looked like with different glassware:

This was the original table. It used green glassware (from the Dollar Store.)

Then Pat tried brown glassware. This time "Woodland" by Fostoria - definitely not very colorful but it's my favorite.

Pastel Easter Table

I can't resist bunnies. I love them. And I love bunny plates. When Pat and I walked into Pier 1 recently (a big mistake, by the way....), we spotted some really cute plates. Even Pat loved them (she is not the "cute bunny" kind of person that I am) - so much so, she bought all they had of them.

It took her no time at all to come up with this week's table:
