You may remember that last week I had planned to do a real tablescape, but plans were laid aside when the wedding dress came in. Well this week, we had real people for dinner so I did manage to set the table. Those are the same little bunnies in the tea for two post last week, but they've been joined by everything pastel. The place mats are casual pale blue bunny mats that I found at Big Lots. The salad bowls are just green and yellow melamine bowls from Target.I love these napkin rings. I bought them at a local craft show. I go every year specifically to look for their great themed napkin rings. The flatware was a recent unexpected surprise. I found a complete set of Rogers "First Love" silver plate in a silver chest in my dad's house. I know my mom never used it. She wasn't the tablescaping type! I won't be using it everyday, but I am going to make sure it sees some action!The bunny salt shaker and carrot pepper shaker were a gift from my daughter. My family knows that Easter is my favorite holiday! So, this is my first real tablescape, and I'm not sure if it's a good thing. Beloved likes eating on a tray in front of the tv...poor him! Our host Susan has lots more guests and is waiting for you at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteI love the little bunny S&P shaker! Cute as pie! Sweet table! And BTW- a reply to you of my post....yes I had to make my own tray. Moms we care for others when they are down, when we are we are pretty much on our own with tons of work waiting when we recover. UG!
ReplyDeleteHappy day sweet Susan!
First table? Great job! I think the big orange bouquet of flowers just makes everything POP! Very nice.
