Welcome to A Very Vintage Easter Tour a blog hop featuring vintage Easter joys. I hope you’ll click on the Blogs listed below and join these creative ladies for lots of wonderful ideas for your Spring and Easter tables. Just like the bunnies, guests are surrounded by a bower of flowers and can truly feel that Spring has arrived. Today we are really “leaping forward” into Spring. More flowers and bunnies with soft pastel colored eggs sit on an embroidered runner beneath the gallery wall. The patterns are not the same but they blend together nicely and don’t you just love the stems? They sparkle with light against the flowered background. I used a simple white, embroidered napkin with scalloped edges to accompany the flatware.Ĭrystal water and wine glasses with etched glass patterns depicting flowers are added to the setting. All the china and crystal in this setting is thrifted. Each plate has a different bunny surrounded by flowers. I used a mix of old and new and some very sweet bunny plates. Wallace “Bee” flatware in silver and gold tones accompany the china.Ībove you can see a close-up of the placemat and china. The place setting is a mix of some of my favorite china dishes set on a woven Spring placement with butterflies and flowers peeking out along the edge. The bunnies are placed in a nest of white and gold and raised a bit above the table on a pedestal tray trimmed in wood. The papa bunny has gifted mama bunny with beautiful azaleas as a token of his love and affection. ![]() Here you can see how the flowers flow diagonally from the centerpiece and frame each place setting in flowering borders. I added an azalea branch for more color and they show beautifully against the green background of the tablecloth. ![]() In the picture above you can see one strand coming from the centerpiece. I brought them inside and decided to use them in my table setting. Some of the vines were a little exuberant so I cut them back. Mine have beautiful clustered yellow roses and bloom for quite awhile in the Spring. Lady Bank’s roses are a thornless vining rose that look great on a trellis or a fence. These are always some of my first plants to flower in the Spring. I was working in the garden this week, cleaning up the last of the leaves and was delighted to see that my Lady Bank’s roses were in bloom as well as some of the azalea bushes. If you’re visiting from Me and My Captain, welcome. I hope you’ll visit these talented ladies for lots of ideas for Spring and Easter table settings. You’ll find links to all the blogs at the end of this post. Thanks Rita for putting this together for all of us. I’m joining some fabulous ladies for a Spring Tablescape Blog Hop organized by the wonderful Rita of Panoply. I have a few little bunnies that have stopped by for a visit and some fresh garden flowers to add to the “Springiness” (is that even a word…LOL) of the table. Spring also means I get to dust off my Spring dishes, bringing them out of the cupboard to share with all of you. Welcome, I’m happy you are here today to share this wonderful Spring day with me. Spring has arrived and I am so grateful to see green shoots bursting skywards in the garden. The March winds are the morning yawn.” – Lewis Grizzard
