The Joys Of Easter

March 29, 2022~ Blog hop, Easter, Everyday Living, Faith, Tablescapes

Happy Tuesday dear friends. Can you believe April will arrive this Friday? That means one fourth of 2022 will have passed. I am excited to join seventeen table stylists for a tablescape blog hop full of ideas hosted by my friend, Rita from Panoply. If you are looking for Spring and Easter tabletop inspiration, you have come to the right place..

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,”
‭‭John‬ ‭11:25‬ ‭

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love all of the joy it brings…Resurrection…New Life…Family…Food…Fellowship to name just a few!

I had planned to share an outdoor table, but the wind was blowing so hard it was impossible. Plan B was the dining room which is where we normally have Easter lunch. Most of my centerpieces are floral arrangements, but I opted for something different and really easy. No purchases were required. Using a yellow pedestal bowl, I placed a smaller bowl inside in order to elevate the rabbit. I then tucked moss all around the interior bowl and set the rabbit on top and filled in any gaps with more moss. The Fitz and Floyd rabbit teapot is part of the Herb Garden collection designed for garden enthusiasts. The tray is also part of the collection which was manufactured between 1996 and 2000. My sweet husband surprised me many years ago with all of the pieces on the table plus a tea set.

You will find the links for all of the talented table stylists at the bottom of this post.

The small rabbit was made by my beloved Mother and it brings me great joy to always place it on our Easter table. It reminds me of all the fabulous food she prepared and stirs precious memories of every holiday being celebrated around her table. I never remember her serving anything on a paper plate, she didn’t even have them in her pantry. She had the wonderful gift of hospitality and everyone was welcomed at her table.

On a recent trip to Birmingham, I persuaded RM to stop at Home Goods. Much to my delight, I found this lovely Rachel Ashwell tablecloth.

I have four of the Crown Ducal hand-painted salad plates that I purchased from Nancy’s Daily Dish last year. Each one is signed by the artist, R.E. Hague, and depicts beautiful flowers like the chrysanthemum!

American Atelier “Baroque” chargers are placed on pastel green linen placemats with Noritake “Reverie” dinner plates and stemware. The asparagus lidded box is also a piece of the F & F Herb Garden collection. Chalk egg napkin rings came from Cracker Barrel a long, long time ago.

After our morning church service, a little later in the afternoon, our family gathers at our house. We will hide eggs for the grands and then will enjoy a traditional Easter menu, much like my Mother prepared.

Camellia, our state flower!

Moss bunnies hopped onto the table! We have noticed the return of one of our naughty bunnies who likes to live under the magnolia tree!

Sweet egg cups are filled with M&M’s. These had to be guarded, as little hands were eager to sample. Can you keep a secret…I may have eaten a few!

Poppies, I love the way they dance in the wind!

Two petite flower arrangements of dogwood, snowball viburnum, and periwinkle in vintage laboratory flasks!

Chalk eggs were added to the platter!

Hydrangeas, one of my favorite flowers!

Fitz and Floyd Herb Garden salt and pepper set!

    Just beautiful Pam! I love your Fitz and Floyd Herb Garden pieces… I don’t recall seeing them before. The garden salt and pepper shakers are darling! I love how you placed the bunny pitcher in your bowl with moss, paired with the moss bunnies on your table. Your petite flower arrangements so pretty and I’m smitten with our hand-painted Crown Ducal plates. As always it’s a treat to hop with you and join you at the table. Happy Tuesday. ♥

    Stunning, Pam! So many beautiful elements! The Fitz and Floyd bunny placed in your scalloped yellow bowl with moss and surrounded by bunnies and eggs is delightful.Your vintage laboratory flasks filled with darling flowers are so pretty. I adore the flower choices especially the dogwood. Dogwood has always been an Easter symbol to me.
    Those Crown Ducal plates are exquisite! The FF salt and pepper shakers are so lovely. Now, you are ready for your family Easter meal and don’t have to worry about flowers lasting.
    Wishing you a lovely Easter with your precious family.

    One of the many things I love about your Easter table is how you bring out the south and your native state! I love the dogwood flower, and it’s the first time I see it incorporated into a table arrangement. So pretty! Your Fitz & Floyd is wonderful, too. Your table is so charming, Pam!

    Pam, as always, you bring the holidays to life. Easter is also one of my favorites. That small bunny made by your Momma touched my heart. Undoubtedly you are passing down her rich traditions. The beautiful flower plates (I didn’t know your state flower! And I love hydrangeas, too!). The chalk eggs and chocolate ones (I would’ve sampled too!). It’s the colors, the green moss, the happiness behind the perfect palates, that reminds us we will soon be celebrating our risen Savior! Hooray! My twin and I gave ourselves nicknames years ago. I call her “bunny” and I’m
    “Mousie” (I’d much rather be Bunny! Lol). I think of her when I see them. Sending you love and I appreciate your prayers so much as my schedule becomes fuller! 🙏🏻💛

        You’re very welcome! I really do need to write about being a twin! I actually thought I had at one time, but may not have posted! Thank you for the love and prayers. Today’s first Lunch and Literature at the Primary School went splendid. It was SO GOOD to walk into my “old” school. The parents were a delight! I sold about 30 books. I really didn’t care about selling as much as just connecting with the parents and kids. It was a complete bonus. Tomorrow I will do the same for 3 groups of parents. It turned wet and colder today and a dip tomorrow. But sun should return by weekend! It’s spring! Love and hugs dear, Pam! 🤍💚

    Pam, the best part of your beautiful table are the sweet memories of your mother. Her little bunny is a treasure. Mothers of our generation were the epitome of gracious Southern hostesses. To this day I long to pick up the phone to ask my Mama how she cooked something or the best way to decorate. I know your memories are so precious, and now you get to pass them along to EM and EK.

I really liked the chalk egg napkin rings from Cracker Barrel…they surprise us with unique decor from time to time, don’t they? The petite flower arrangements are so special and using the laboratory flasks was genius. I, too have flasks and for years I have only used them in Fall tables…great inspiration my dear friend.

    Your centerpiece is a main attraction for me today, Pam! What a wonderfully thoughtful gift Butch chose for you! The teapot is fabulous. All those raised details are gorgeous on it and the other pieces. You must have to be very careful in storing those to avoid chipping. A perfect choice of Crown Ducal salads from Nancy’s Daily Dish incredible inventory. And every time I see your Reverie I wince just a little, knowing I gave away a complete set of that. I may need to recover a few pieces for my pared down dish inventory. They are so dainty, so happy in appearance, and the glassware in that line is just a perfect spring green. Clever display of the flowers on the table too! Always a pleasure to visit your table virtually, and imagine the family blessings around it. Thank you for being a part of this hop, Pam.

    Pam, what a gorgeous garden inspired tablescape. I love the intricately detailed F&F tea set that your thoughtful husband purchased for you. You created such a lovely Easter table around the whole set. It warms my heart to see a special bunny made by your mom. All of the wonderful memories she created, passed on to you and now you carry on with your family. Your floral plates are so elegant and contrast so beautifully with the moss and moss bunnies. Certainly, it conveys a bunny’s garden. It is always a pleasure to hop with you and take pleasure in your exquisite dining room.

    I have never seen a Fitz and Floyd piece I didn’t love and these pieces from the Garden collection are so adorable! I love the bunny pitcher centerpiece and all the sweet bunnies and eggs hopping around your table. The plates are beautiful, and the absolute best part of your tablescape Pam, is the way you honor your mother and all the memories of the Easters she hosted and that you are ingraining this tradition into your son and DIL and the grands. Such a beautiful Easter table!

The little bunny your mother made is darling, and what a special way to honour her at your Easter table. Your floral plates are lovely and I agree Hydrangea is a favourite! How fun it must be to hide the Easter eggs for your grands and then watch how excited they must be to find them! The moss covered bunnies add a natural element to the table that really compliments the centrepiece. Wishing you a very happy Easter!

    Thank you for the F&F fix… so much beauty to absorb, especially the creative centerpiece, although my heart melted at your
    Mother’s whimsical bunny – love those eyelashes. You have set the mood for a festive Easter of joy and thankfulness….

    Oh, how I adore this table! There are so many pretties sat upon it. The sweet bunny that your dear mother made is precious, and I know you must treasure it. Your centerpiece is perfect! I’m going to borrow that idea. You won’t believe this…yesterday, I was on Nancy’s website looking through her beautiful things. I was admiring some plates in your same pattern. I am so tempted to buy them. I know your family will love setting at this beautiful table! Enjoy your day, sweet friend!

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.

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. 

For more of my Daddy’s story, click the link in my bio.

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!

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 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.

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.
