Tablescape Tuesday: A Little Spring, A Little Easter

~ Easter, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“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!

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

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends and welcome to Everyday Living!  I can hardly believe that tomorrow is the first day of spring!  We have severe weather threats today, so we are watching our weatherman very closely. To kick off this season, I am joining a group of talented bloggers to bring you a Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by the lovely Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate. You will definitely want to check the complete line-up at the bottom of the post for lovely spring tablescape inspiration!

Spring is such a beautiful time of renewal and awakening. After the winter months that seem so bleak and colorless, I love seeing the sights of spring all over. Birds scurrying around gathering materials for their nests, trees sprouting vivid green leaves, plants pushing their way through the soil to bloom into stunning day lilies, happy daffodils, and colorful tulips…I could go on and on! And with spring’s arrival comes Easter, which is the ultimate symbol of new life.  The hope that we are all longing for is given to us through the resurrection of Jesus! With the Easter season in mind, welcome to today’s table of Bunnies & Blessings!
