My pastel Easter table

13 years ago

Here is my sunroom table with some Easter decor.

I love this tablecloth!! It is blossomsandblooms, and is so pretty IRL and came from the ARC TS for $7.99!!

Here is the edge:

The candyshot:

The silk flowers are from DT, my everyday silverware, and candles I have had for a few yrs. EVERYTHING ELSE is thrift store.

There is a small gold rabbit on the silver napkin ring.

I went to GoodWill on Monday and as I was driving there, I thought to myself that I didn't have any pink chargers. Unbelievably, they had 8 pink ceramic chargers and because it was Senior Day, they were .75c each!! They were just what I needed for this table!! They also had the green pitcher that I used in the CP, which was just the right shade for the green in the tablecloth! The pink cabbage plate under the pitcher is Bordallo Pinheiro and, yes, it was a TS find.

This table is prettier than it photographs, but I don't know how to take any better pictures.

TTFN,

Candy

Candy, This table is wonderful!!
It is like a breath of fresh air.
The table cloth is lovely, and it is the perfect backdrop for your tablescape.
Great Candy Shot!!
I love the napkins and napkin rings are adorable.
What luck finding the pink chargers and the green pitcher.
The soft pink stems are so pretty on your table.
The table photographs beautifully, and all I can say is...

WOW!!!

Candy, Nana said it ALL! Love the all the dishes. The designs on the plates are wonderful. Your new tc is soooooo pretty. The little bunnies on the napkin rings are cute. Photographes look great. Who could ask 4 more.

Enjoyed seeing your lovely Spring Easter table this morning. It's almost 50 here. This may be a perfect start to a beautiful day.

Easter Basket--my substitute Peace rose?
Q

Hi Jim, Here is Easter Basket blooming this year--about a month ago, I believe. In response to your question, I should first point out that most of the roses in my gardens are not doing quite as well as last year. This past winter was brutal and most of the roses had to be pruned back severely. While they are growing and blooming, they are still too short and not as full and floriferous as they should be. Easter Basket suffered the same conditions as the other roses, but is recovering better than some of them. It has had two bloom cycles so far this year, but it still isn't as tall and wide as it was last year. However, when it blooms, they look as lovely as usual--just not as many as usual. It has had a touch of BS--again I attribute that to it not being fully recovered from the brutal winter. However, I don't think I actually sprayed it when I sprayed the HTs a couple times in the spring. I guess I'm going to have to wait until next year before I make a definitive statement, but I have no plans to replace this rose and believe it should snap out of its brutal winter blues by then--at least I sure hope so. It will be interesting to see how it blooms this fall--whether it has recovered by then or not. Thanks for asking. Kate

Thank you, Nana. I don't know how my post appeared twice and went to edit but can't delete one of them. ?? Things have been pretty good lately, other than the Fibro really on the warpath and me falling hard on my rgt knee. Just keep limping around, and thanks to friends have done some fun things in spite of it. And my little (now 10 mon old) great grandson has been here with his Mommy this week. Sure hate to see him go back to Ala on Mon. He is growing so fast and changes so much. Will be hard to say goodbye to them again! But I get to spend his very first Easter with him. ;o) I need to figure out something I can do to post some photos on here for y'all. Haven't seen much on the web to add to our albums even. And once Easter is over, its really slim pickings for decor pix. Maybe I'll haunt some tablesettings on Pinterest and share those pix if it would interest you and the others. hugs and Happy Easter, Karen

Well,if that's your first painting project, I'd say you have a natural talent for it and should keep doing more! So did you create the little "tree" in the pot yourself too? I keep wanting one, but don't have a tree to get the branches from unless I pull some from the magnolia trees out next to the street! LOL Your little covered dishes are so cute, and the colors in the tablecloth just say "Spring". Those bunnies are pretty realistic looking and fit right in with your decorations. Good job and I hope you have a wonderful Easter. Luvs

Than you everyone. As I said I admired a blue and white Easter table on Pinterest. I hope the person who did that table doesn't mind that I borrowed her idea. Jane the crosses are on the table. If you look behind the blue wine glass you can see one peaking out. Jeanne the white branch I used came from AC Moore. It's supposed to light up but it quit after one use I should have taken it back but didn't have the sales slip and it was quite awhile before I got over there again. It is the perfect size for the vase and the eggs looked good on it. Thank you Creek and Punk you guys are good for one's ego! Karen I'm happy we are helping to come away from the "dark days" for a little while. I do like dark colors but I must confess that I favor pastels. We had a good Easter both of my new grand daughters were here.They are so beautiful I am blessed. Nana

Oh this is one of your loveliest tables yet Candy! I love the plates and the chargers! The napkin rings are too die for. Believe it or not I have found 3 of the purple glasses just like yours at 2 different TS by me and am still on the hunt for a fourth.

Nana, thank you for the encouragement. I liked the little blue flower on the cream napkin as it mimics the embroidered blue flower on the tablecloth.

Punk, we have been having absoutely horrible winds, with gusts up to almost 80 mph, but it is supposed to die down today and get to 71 and tomorrow is supposed to be 78, and then snow on Monday!! You'll never guess what I'm doing this afternoon and tomorrow, LOL
OK, you got it. I have tee times, yea!!

Jeanne, this is one of those tables that I love everything on here. When I found that tablecloth, I knew exactly how the table would come together except I had not yet found the pink chargers. Those cream plates are just gorgeous, and the soft pink color of the chargers is so lovely. I couldn't believe my luck finding them!! The colors of the silk flowers are not as harsh as they appear in the picture.

Kath, thank you. I have been saving those napkin rings for one of my Easter tables. There are 2 more set right now, one on the kitchen table and one on the dining room table. Good luck searching for that 4th goblet. It gives you a reason to shop, LOL

Thanks again everybody,
Candy

I don't know how that table could be any prettier in real life, the photos of it are lovely!!

Hope you get to enjoy your golf. DH just headed out tho we might even hit 100 today. Heat doesn't bother him but he sure hates wind, which is predicted this weekend.
Can't believe you're going from 71 to more snow. CO sounds more unpredictable than here.

hugs, Karen

Just lovely Candy! I feel if I were sitting at your
table, I should be wearing a long flowing dress, gloves and a large Picture Hat!!
I love everything about this setting...starting with that beautiful tablecloth -
lovely dishes and all your accessories...
The colors are all so pretty.

Candy, you found those gorgeous plates at a TS? Those are so pretty and I'm sure even more so in real life. I think your "shopping angel" must have been along for you to find those pretty pink chargers at such a fantastic price! Wow! And the tablecloth is so pretty too. You put together another really pretty table for sure. Luvs

Candy,
I love your table! I've never seen an appliqued tablecloth like that, with flowers and Easter eggs--how unique.

And how wonderful you had (or found) all the dishes, napkins, etc., to coordinate with the cloth. I have always liked spring settings with different pastel dishes. It is very pretty.

Such a pretty spring table! Love your tablecloth! I have a question for you...how do you always get the great "from above" picture of your tables? Looks so pretty and you get the full effect!

Kathleen, I never had seen pink ones either, but they were just sitting there at GoodWill patiently waiting to jump into my cart!! LOL

Karen, golf was great and the weather is fabulous, but snow still predicted for tomorrow night and Monday, : (

Jane, you would look lovely in that outfit and I would be honored to have you at my table. Where is that darn bus?? LOL

Luvs, I don't know if I hit the stores at just the right time, everyone around here isn't into tablescapes, or my shopping angel is helping, but I surely do find some pretty plates!!

Magpie, that tablecloth is so pretty IRL that I didn't even consider waiting for it to be on sale. I didn't figure it would hang around that long! The napkins I just collect as I find them on sale. They are so much less expensive than buying them in a regular store. Then when I set a table, I look to see what I have that will coordinate.

Pat, thanks. I had some other dishes in my cart until I saw the cream ones, and I traded them out ASAP!! The cream ones were so much lovelier than the others! The pattern is English Meadow by Julia Bullmore, castles and cottages.

Marlene, Karen says I hang from the ceiling, LOL, but I actually just stand on the chair, raise my arms, and hold the camera over the table. Then I take the shot. If it's too off center, I delete it until I have a good one.

Thanks again everybody.

Candy
