This is nuts! It’s St. Patrick’s Day already, and Easter Sunday is just 2 short weeks away!!! I really feel like we’re in a time crunch, so I’m just going to jump right to it!
Starting this week, I will begin each post with a photo of the inspiration for the tablescape. I hope this will help novice tablescapers to expand your creative thinking skills.
This week’s inspiration: a pack of cocktail napkins with purple & pink tulips that I spied at the grocery store!
Last week’s table was serene and subdued. This week’s is its polar opposite so get ready for an over-the-top color explosion, baby!!!
(Click on any photo to enhance/enlarge it.)
I started with a full-length white tablecloth (LinenTablecloth.com) and topped it diagonally with a reversible Easter egg-colored striped cloth. I used this same topper on the flip side for an Easter buffet table last year. Rose-colored chargers from Michaels (picked up for the bargain price of just 49¢ each last year!) are the foundation of the place setting topped with a white Corelle dinner plate, a Bordallo Pinheiro green cabbage salad plate, and a Pier One white floral bowl. A pale green napkin from Bed, Bath & Beyond peeks out from beneath the plate. The stemware is the ever-familiar Dollar Tree green goblet paired with a beautiful purple number from T.J. Maxx. The flatware is International Silver “Danish Princess”, and each place setting is finished with a pink, purple or yellow sparkled egg in an white egg cup from World Market.
The centerpiece – a melange of figurines and florals – runs the entire length of the table.
I love these super feminine twin bunnies all dressed up in their Easter finery! I have named them Hilary and Henrietta. 🙂 I arranged their bunny ears to look as though they’re a bit wind-blown in the Spring breeze!
The main table floral is pulled together in a wire basket with woody green accents. Heads of cabbage are joined by a bunch of perky pink larger-than-life faux tulips set to give it an asymmetrical look. The basket is surrounded with pots of pink and purple African violets and white ceramic vases of tulips and hydrangea.
I’m back to my old dramatic tricks with these over-the-top floral arrangements on the buffet behind the dining table. Oversized pink tulips and cabbages spill from curvy white glass vases (T.J. Maxx) to create quite a stir!
This room is truly about florals!!! The seat of this child-sized chair has been replaced with a moss ball cut in half and topped with faux florals to mimic those on the dining table.
The tea cart holds a Ralph Lauren white ceramic cake stand with pierced edges I picked up at Tuesday Morning a few years back. The white tea pot is from Home Goods. Last, the whole inspiration for this tablescape: paper cocktail napkins with pink & purple tulips.
Another Ralph Lauren cake stand on the china cabinet holds glittered Easter eggs.
That’s one Easter tablescape down, one to go!

Ever since we moved away from the city of Chicago proper, I have had a very hard time finding a good bakery. My local grocery store makes cupcakes, but they frost them in the most shockingly bright colors, forget it if you are looking for something delicate and dainty. That reticulated cake plate is divine!

Good Night & Good Morning Dear Lady A—
Thank you so much for your time for coming and visit me @D´Box.
I really love when my fave well-know bloggie friends visits me. It feels that I am a member of the well-known clan i Blogielandia. Isn’t it amazing?
Yeah! My heart still not recovered but I know it will not recover. I will and still missed dad, for better or for worst. I just keep the sweet bitter memories in my heart and that keep me going.
It is unreal knowing that I am an orphan. Dad was 90 yrs old when he left us and Mum will turn 90 yrs old this coming June. So, both came up in the right age.
Anyways, thank you for making my evening/morning happy for your visit and that is really the truth.
Hope you like my so-so setting in the honour of St. Patrick’s. Fun time though.
Have a great night and hope you will have a blissful week ahead.
Hugs from D´Box.
