“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
John 10:11
Happy Tuesday dear friends…can you believe that Easter is just around the corner? I know most of you have plans in place for this most joyous time of the year…when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord! For the first time since 2008, I will not be hosting our family celebration. My sweet brother and sister-in-law will be having all of us for lunch after church! Although I always love preparing all of my Mama’s traditional Easter dishes, I must admit that I am excited that I won’t be spending the weekend in the kitchen. But in the spirit of Holy Week, I still wanted to do a tablescape that we can enjoy as we reflect on the true meaning! Today we invite you to the table that is A Little Spring and a Little Easter!
For more Easter Tablescapes you can click here, here, and here.

I simplified by not using a tablecloth, but allowed the dark wood of the table to shine.

Water hyacinth place mats are often used…they provide wonderful texture for the bare wood!
I bought two sets of the spring salad plates at Pottery Barn last year. There are four different patterns per set. These are so perfect for an Easter or spring table!
A single spider mum fills a pair of French apothecary flasks…no arranging necessary, simple and sweet!

For a centerpiece, I filled a terrarium with moss, a bird’s nest with eggs, and a jeweled blue bird trinket box.
On either side of the terrarium is a jeweled box. Have I ever mentioned that I have a large collection of jeweled boxes?! Yes, I am collection poor!! I occasionally enjoy displaying them on a tray.
Isn’t the pastel blue on each plate so pretty?

What a welcoming table set for spring! Your place settings are exquisite! Every dish is a breath of fresh spring air.
I love this idea of one flower in each small jar. So lovely! But my favorite is your centerpiece!! What a beautiful find that you transformed into a small spring greenhouse. I just love it!
Oh and one day could you please show us more of your jeweled boxes! I would love to see your collection.
As for us… we will be having a quiet Easter. (Thanksgiving is usually my time to cook with family.) I will set a pretty table and hope to post that soon! Happy Spring and Happy Easter!
Thank you Nancy! I will be looking forward to seeing your table! A quiet Easter sounds nice! Blessings~
The best tables are those that can easily swing one way or the other. This is one of those tables! Thankfully you will catch a break from kitchen duty. While creating in the kitchen brings much joy, sometimes we just need to chill!!!!! Have a blessed Easter.
Thank you dearest Alycia! Wishing you a blessed Easter!
Gorgeous, simply stunning. I am totally smitten with your dishes, each one is a treasure. Such an inviting and beautifully set table.
Thank you so much Marty!
What a beautiful breath of Spring! I agree with Nancy about your jeweled boxes!!! I worked in a laboratory my entire life and have always thought lab glassware was beautiful. It is also very durable. And your terrarium in the center is gorgeous.
We will be having our first service at our new church on Easter, and I am honored to have been chosen to help serve Communion. Any of your dear readers who visit Clemson/Greenville SC… please visit! Or have students at Clemson…send them over. We will love on them and look after them.
Roxanne, we are so excited about your new church. I saw photos on your FB page. What a beautiful place. What a nice honor to serve communion. Maybe one day, Butch and I can visit on a Sunday! Happy Easter my friend!
Lovely spring table that is so happy! Your plates with different pastel colors are each so pretty and your pink napkins complement them nicely. I love your greenhouse centerpiece with birds nest and jeweled trinket box.I agree the water hyacinth mats provide excellent texture with your pretty wood table.
Glad you will enjoy a break from hosting Easter. It is a lot of work.
Mike and I will be home alone but hope to sit with friends at the Country Club for Easter brunch after church.
Being with friends at the Country Club sounds relaxing! Thanks Bonnie!
Oh Pam, I love these bird and bunny plates! They’re simply perfect!
Our plans — well, for the first time we’ll have our Baby Grand with us, so that’s exciting! Kid One comes Saturday; Kid Two and BG Sunday. We’re hoping it’s nice for a little walk to feed the ducks, but we’ll see. I’m off to get basket things today!
Oh how fun to have Baby Grand. Sweet children make holidays so special! Thank you dear friend!
Pam, such a lovely spring table. Your dining table is gorgeous and I love to see the wood. The terrarium is such a pretty centerpiece and so very creative. The spring plates are so lovely and the pink napkins are the perfect touch of spring. Simply a stunning table.
Wishing you and yours a lovely week!
Thank you Sandra for your sweet comments! Wishing you a beauty-filled week!

Just beautiful Pam! I love the contrast of the dark wood with the light pastels of your plates and the sweet simplicity of the single blooms! Enjoy your kitchen-free Easter weekend! ♥
Thanks so much, Mary!
You prove that it only takes a few interesting pieces to make a table. Your plates are the perfect starting place for color and texture which you’ve added in simple way.
Thank you Linda!
Pam, your plates and the terrarium are just lovely. Thanks for sharing with us on Share Your Style. I hope you have a very blessed Easter!
Always my pleasure!
Oh, how I love these plates and the entire table!
Thank you Leslie Anne!
Hi Pam, just catching up on this busy week, and wanted to stop in and say Happy Easter. Your table looks so cheerful with the PB plates and the aqua glassware. How nice that you’ll be a guest instead of the host this year for Easter – enjoy your family time.
Thank you Rita!
Such a beautiful table, Pam! I love the terrarium centerpiece, it picks up the blue in the plates so well – along with your glassware. Enjoy your Easter with your family and have a blessed Holy Week.
Thank you Ann. He is Risen!
Pam, what a beautiful table! I love your plates and the centerpiece. Happy Easter to you!
Shelley
Thank you Shelley!
I adore your PB plates with the pastel blue and it matches the glassware so nicely. Your tablescapes are always lovely.
Our Holy Week is always very busy…
Our Wednesday night service was an explanation of the Jewish Passover Seder Meal and the meaning of all the courses, which is always interesting as no matter how many times I have heard Pastors explain it…there is always something new to learn of our Savior’s last meal…..
Friday, we will go down to the Yacht Club here in Florida and have a potluck followed by those signed up for full immersion baptism in the Gulf of Mexico. Our Pastor will baptize about 10 who wish to follow Christ in Baptism.
On Easter, the Captain and I will attend church and Sunday School and then have a nice quiet Ham dinner with a few neighbors who have no family close by.
Blessings
He is not here…for He has Risen…as He said.
Kari, what a beautiful few days leading up to Easter, Amen, He is Risen!
This is so beautiful and inspiring! Thanks for sharing with the Grace at Home link-up!
Thank you Tiffiney! Happy Easter!
I so love this ever so beautiful table Pam….the place settings truly pop on the background of the shine of your gorgeous dining room table…Love how you have brought the wonderful colors together on the table! Happy Easter to you and your family!…We will be doing our usual tradition of dinner and scavenger egg hunt….Enjoy your day as a guest!!!
Shirley, your day sounds perfect with your sweetie! Happy Easter!
Pam, I Love your tablescape and those bird dishes are beautiful. I never think to check Pottery Barn because the nearest one is over an hour away, but I do frequent Peir1 but haven’t found anything I like for spring/Easter I love the terrarium as a center piece too. Fabulous look, simply and elegant and beautiful I found you at #ImpartingGrace today
Thanks so much visiting! It is nice to meet you. Happy Easter!
Hi Pam, I love the plates and the different textures! Your table shines! This is only the 2nd Easter that I have not been playing violin in the orchestra or singing in choir. So I look forward to wearing an Easter outfit not concert black or a choir robe. For several years our church hosted the Easter service at the Hollywood bowl. I miss performing there. Now we have four services on Easter Sunday. We will attend one service and then go to Easter brunch with dear friends. Because I won’t be performing, it will be a relaxing day! We will celebrate our risen Savior with joy!
Thank you Ramona. I love that you sing and play violin. Our family is musical, so music is a big part of our lives. Wishing you a joy-filled Easter as we celebrate our risen Lord and Savior!
