Easter Tablescape: Tulips & Bunnies

April 2, 2019~ Easter, Spring

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends! I am always so glad when you stop by for a visit. I am joining a group of bloggers to bring you a week of Easter tablescape inspiration. We are hosted by the talented Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate. You will find all of the links at the bottom of this post. Welcome to Tulips & Bunnies!

My inspiration for my table was this pink and white checked cloth that I recently ordered from Pier 1.

I am not sure why I always think that tulips and Easter just go together. But when I saw the yellow and pink tulips, I knew they would work well in my planned tablescape.

Bunnies were also in my plan, so a couple of moss bunnies hopped up to the table. You can see their first appearance in A Little Garden of Spring Bulbs!

The sweet Pasture Bunny salad plates are from Pottery Barn last year, but they are still available and are on sale.

Water hyacinth placemats add a little texture!

Have you tried Trader Joe’s sparkling pink lemonade? I really like it and it is perfect for an Easter brunch or dinner. I sometimes add a twist of citrus and berries!

You can see the floral border of the dinner plate under the bunny. It is my wedding china that is definitely vintage since we celebrated forty-six years of marriage in February. It is “Reverie” by Noritake and I still love it after all these years.

The silver-plated flatware holds sentimental feelings since my beloved mother gave it to me. Yellow napkins are cinched with cute bunny ear napkin rings!

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
~Martin Luther

You can arrange tulips, but they still have a mind of their own!

Petite egg cups are filled with moss and chalk eggs!

There are four bunny patterns in a set and aren’t they so cute?

Thank you for your visits and sweet comments, they truly make my day. Be sure to visit all of the talented ladies this week!

    Pam, Your Noritake dishes have stood the test of time! The floral border is so pretty framing your sweet bunny plates! I love tulips and bunnies paired for Easter and spring too and your pink checked tablecloth provides such a pretty foundation for your table with the moss bunnies and egg cups! Love those bunny ear napkin rings!! I’ll look for Trader Joe’s sparkling pink lemonade next time I’m near one in town. It’s always a pleasure to join you at the table and blog hop with you. ♥

    Pam, I love the way tulips gracefully drape down. How pretty your pink check tablecloth is! It adds a sweet touch and the perfect contrast to accent your bunny plates and moss bunnies. Those are adorable egg cups with chalk eggs nestled in moss.
    Your Noritake wedding china plates have the perfect delicate border for your cute bunny salad plates.
    I bet Ella Mae likes your bunny ear napkin rings. They are too cute!
    Thanks for an enjoyable visit to your Easter table this morning.

I do love your centerpiece and yes tulips do have a mind of their own. To me, that is their charm. Your new tablecloth is so pretty and perfect for Easter.

    I have a feeling a trip to Pottery Barn is in my future. And that will be dangerous! (Although I’m also seriously considering bunny plates I saw at Home Goods if they last that long. Home Goods is tricky that way!). And I need NO NEW PLATES OR CHINA but that hasn’t stopped me before and I doubt it will this year. Our Easter will be a little wonky this year — we aren’t sure how many, where or if Rick can even be upright for it. He may still be flat on his back, leg elevated, 24/7. One thing is sure, I know my table won’t be as pretty as yours!

    Love the use of the bunnies, and I’m with you on tulips and Easter. I tend to go that way too, or mini-daffs and drawf iris if I find nice ones. The pink and yellow is so cheerful — and Easter basket come to life!

The tulips are such gorgeous vivid colors and are perfect for Easter. EM will enjoy the cute chalk eggs when it’s warmer & it’s a great idea which I am going to borrow! I’ve walked past them & only saw sidewalk chalk, so thank you for the wonderful idea! Your talent is God’s gift & thank you for sharing it with us! Have a great day! Clara ???❤️

I also like tthe way you tweaked your bunny ears. I have a set of them but they are mostly burlap but I will be tweaking their ears too. Beautiful table as usual. Love your wedding china. Hugs sweet friend.

It is all so elegant. One of the things that I love about your style…simple elegance. I love how the tulips have a mind of their own. That is the way they grow so it makes it even more lovely.

Here my tulips are just emerging from the frozen earth. Isn’t it just like God to send fragil tender shoot out of earth that I can’t get a shovel in? Praise Him!

    Pam, I know it’s the bunny plates that are featured here, but I honestly love that Reverie pattern. If I end up regretting giving away any set of china, it’ll be that one. I did, however, find a few platters that I missed boxing with the set I gave away, so I do have those. Love your bunny ear napkin rings on the sunny yellow napkins!

I love how the tulips are “doing their own thing”. That’s how you know they’re real and not faux! Your mother’s silver plate flatware is precious, especially since it has so much meaning for you. The Trader Joe’s pink lemonade looks very refreshing! It’s a pleasure hopping with you. Happy Easter!

    Be still my heart! I am loving daffodils right but tulips are my all time favorite flower and yours are so gorgeous. I love them standing proud and tall or gracefully bending their pretty heads. If Easter is in April, daffodils and tulips will be in bloom in KY so I naturally those flowers do go together with Easter in my mind. Your plates are so pretty and I love the pink checked tablecloth too!

    So happy to join you this week for this fun hop. Happy Easter!

Happy Tuesday, I invite you to join me for Tea on Happy Tuesday, I invite you to join me for Tea on Tuesdays! A 🍓strawberry🍓 themed tea was set under the arbor where the Lady Banks roses have climbed up and over. The roses bloomed in early spring and they were gorgeous, but now they provide a green canopy of shade, perfect for afternoon tea! A delicious strawberry and vanilla green tea is served along with strawberry trifles in vintage ice cream sundae glasses. Precious memories are always shared with my tables! 

I am joining Jennifer @jen_carroll_martin and Mary @homeiswheretheboatis.net for tea. Click the link in my profile to view all 3 blogs!

Happy Monday! We have had a lot of rain which shor Happy Monday! We have had a lot of rain which shortened our peony season! Peony Karl Rosenfield was absolutely stunning this year. Sarah Bernhardt was relocated last year and gave us some gorgeous blooms in spite of being moved. Several Spirea are in bloom as well as Clematis Jackmanii! What is blooming in your garden?

Happy Wednesday! I set a table next to our woodlan Happy Wednesday! I set a table next to our woodlands in memory of my beautiful Mother who was a lovely example of a Proverbs 31 woman. Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile. 

“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

With glorious weather, the table next to our woodl With glorious weather, the table next to our woodlands was perfect for teatime! It is Tea on Tuesdays with blogging friends Mary and Kitty. The table is enhanced by views toward the mountain, woodlands, and the large Snowball Viburnum. The verdant rye grass appears as a green carpet that has been spread for Easter! Vintage Fitz and Floyd ‘Herb Garden’ teapots, sugar and creamer, and oval tray are suited for springtime with their embossed bows, vegetables, and words. A bouquet of Kwanzan Cherry blossoms add more spring color to the setting. 

I am serving a simple teatime with Earl Grey tea, savory egg salad filled phyllo cups, and sweet vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing, and macarons! A favorite cottage rose tablecloth and Essential napkins are by April Cornell.

We are most blessed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, being the source of new life, yet new life that is eternal. The beauty of this spring will again give way to another autumn in a few months, but the significance of His empty tomb will never change! Wishing you a blessed Holy Week ✝️ Click the link in my bio to view the blog!

Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our woodlands and this is the first one of the season, an Easter/Spring table! I love all the sweet bunny decorations, but Easter is so much more. We celebrate Easter because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  His bodily resurrection enables all those who choose to follow Him to have assured victory over our greatest enemy…death!

 I look forward each year when some of my favorite blooms display their amazing beauty in our garden. Snowball viburnum in its full glory with large creamy white blooms. Climbing Lady Banks Rose is covered in hundreds of miniature yellow blooms cascading to the ground. An old-fashioned Bridal Wreath Spirea with its branches arching to the ground in a fountain-like growth habit is loaded with showy double white flowers in clusters of three to six that resemble a bride’s wreath. I still claim the Kwanzan Cherry tree even though it is now on our son’s property. Its ruffled pink double pink blossoms are some of my favorite blooms. All four of these blooms make up an arrangement with a few tulips from the grocery store. 

A fluffle of moss bunnies hopped up to the picnic table. A ‘Charming’ tablecloth with  Mary Lake-Thompson napkins and Williams Sonoma enchanting ‘Famille Rose’ bunny plates!

I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on m I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on my blog. My precious Daddy passed away peacefully on March 26th at the age of 94, surrounded by his beloved family! He was born during the depths of the Great Depression. That may have been part of the reason he was always content and loved the simple things. 

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1

After high school graduation he signed to play professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians Organization. His baseball career was cut short when he was drafted in the army. He was seriously wounded in the Korean War and was awarded a Purple Heart and two bronze stars. Upon returning home, he married my beautiful Mother and they shared 54 wonderful years together before she passed away suddenly. 

My brother and I grew up in a Christian home, bathed in love, calm, security, and contentment, under the care of the two finest parents anyone could have. Daddy was known as Pawpaw to his three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. 

My heart is broken, he was the best Daddy a girl could have. I know he is present with the Lord and I rejoice in that promise, knowing too, that my Mother is also in the eternal presence of our Heavenly Father.

Wishing you a most beautiful day!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition of Tea on Tuesdays. My inspiration for teatime is the beautiful linens from @april.cornell With the celebration of their 50th anniversary, many Heritage Prints from the archives have returned. Eden is one of the beautiful patterns that has returned. It is a soft purple paradise where butterflies float, roses bloom, and soft sage leaves levitate. As an April Cornell Brand Ambassador, I was gifted these gorgeous linens! I have been a collector of @april.cornell linens for many years…the floral patterns resonate with my love of English Country. 

I am serving my favorite, Earl Gray tea, from an Eileen’s Reserve teapot. Teacups by Grace Teaware and vintage Rose Chintz salad plates by Johnson Brothers add more floral patterns to the mix. Japanese Magnolia blooms were cut from my garden and placed in a lilypad teapot!

Mary @ homeiswheretheboatis.net and I welcome Nancy @nance_endless_summer as our special guest! LINK in bio for the blog posts. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! With March bringing the promise of s Happy Monday! With March bringing the promise of spring and looking forward to our garden awakening, I planted a blooming bulb garden in my Sunshine Cottage! The butcher block countertop under a window, was a perfect place for a mini garden. Muscari, hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils danced in the sunlight and filled the cottage with an amazing fragrance! 

It is Monday Morning Blooms with friends Lidy @frenchgardenhouse Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Sunshine Cottage whe Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy on this cold February day. It is Tea on Tuesdays and I have set a tea table with the “Blue Roses” collection that was a collaboration between @victoriamagazine and @april.cornell The exclusive porcelain pattern and matching linens have been used many times and I still enjoy their blue and white beauty. Instead of fresh flowers, porcelain ones require no arranging. Sweet treats pair perfectly with a traditional English Breakfast tea. I am joining friends Sarah @sjpa48 and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net

Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold days, we are experiencing a tease of spring with a 73 degree day that is forecast. After the gray and cloudy days, I needed a dose of color and decided to set a colorful citrus themed brunch! Using a bird gold and pewter stand, I mixed a citrus medley of lemons, oranges, and limes with pink and white carnations as the centerpiece. The table is highlighted with blue and white dishware. Fresh squeezed orange juice, French-pressed coffee and sweet treats of lemon poppyseed muffins, lemon cake with lemon icing, and lemon pastries are perfect for a small brunch. A faux lemon topiary belonged to my beloved Mother and seemed a perfect addition to a citrus-themed table!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluf Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluffing for Valentine’s Day! For many years my Sweetheart and I have celebrated February 14th at home where it is quiet, no reservations are required, and we always have a table by the window! 

I love the traditional colors of red and pink! Frilly carnations fill a vintage Staffordshire, ‘Charlotte’ pitcher which rests on an antique Limoges plate with a velvet gold-crowned heart. The plate stack consists of a Royal Stafford ‘Asiatic pheasant’ dinner plate, American Atelier ‘Baroque’ luncheon/salad plate, Johnson Brothers, ‘Winchester’ salad plate, and a vintage pierced Bavarian rose plate! I am a huge fan of mixing colors, patterns, and textures for a collected look. 

I have joined 17 table stylists for a Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. Click the LINK in my bio to see all of the Valentine inspiration!

Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I am serving my favorite tea, Earl Grey, in the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy! The magic of dancing sunlight enhances the table that is dressed with a warm tartan plaid throw repurposed as a tablecloth! ‘Winter Fauna’ bird salad plates from Pottery Barn (many years ago and now discontinued) remind me of the birds I watch from my kitchen window during the winter season. The Grace Teaware set adds more blue and white to the Spode ‘Blue Room’ dinner plates. Sweet treats were placed on a stack of Bordallo Pinheiro plates! A darling Hummel ‘Icy Adventure’ depicts a scene of an outdoor frozen pond with a pair of sweet ice skaters, a rosy cheeked boy and girl who have fallen down on the ice. I am sharing Tea on Tuesdays with Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net Link in my Bio will take you to my blog post! Stay warm and safe!
