As a tablescaper, I always look forward to the next holiday that I will be hosting. Half the fun for me is in the planning. I have file folders for each holiday, and throughout the year I add to it when I come across something I might like to include in my tablescape or menu.
I know, I know, St. Patrick's Day is next to celebrate. But I needed to play with my new Easter plates that just arrived. I wasn't even thinking about Easter until I looked at Pottery Barn's catalog last week. The new catalog featured their Easter collection, and I began to oogle over the white bunny plates. Love the dotted edges!
The simplicity of the new white plates makes them very versatile. I chose to pair them with colorful Mackenzie-Childs dinner plates, and the white bunny really stands out.
I used chargers that I bought at the Christmas Tree Shoppe a few years ago. I've been looking for more for friends and have not found any.
Last year, I bought some rabbits on sale at Tuesday Morning and just found them in my Easter box. I had forgotten all about them. Do you ever do that?
In that same Easter box, I found some little wooden Easter bunnies that I picked up at my neighbor's garage sale. So I played around and made an Easter tassel to hang from the door knob. In less than 30 minutes, I had plenty of Easter fun.

Those Easter plates are just gorgeous! I've been browsing for some and haven't found any I like out there. Just ADORE those, though.... Hmmmm, Pottery Barn??? :)
ReplyDeleteI just received the same catalog...those plates are adorable and I love the white against the colorful background of your plates and chargers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out Deb! Those plates are so pretty, and you did a great job on the tassel!
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for the plates at the outlet, :) I snagged a few good deals last year.
They won't start to mark it down yet though, Easter is so late this year.
I saw those chargers a few years ago, but not since then. I got some cute ones today though!
So pretty! Love your new bunny plates!
ReplyDeleteI'm always so jealous when one of our bloggers indicates they picked up this or that at a Christmas Tree Shop. We don't have them in my part of the country but every time I'm out east I google the area to see if one is near. Your chargers are a perfect example of why I love to sop there.
ReplyDeleteAnd those bunny plates! I luv bunny anything and will be stopping by PB today to check them out. Thanks so much for sharing.
I am drooling over PB's Easter collections~ what temptations! Love your bunny plates with your MacKenzie-Childs! Your tassel is so fun too :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Easter table. I love the white plate with the bunny and the chargers too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me,

Love those bunny plates! The white color is perfect to mix and match.
ReplyDeleteThe bas relief bunny plate looks so smart on your pretty table.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even begun to process Easter. It seems light years away. But I'll be holding on to your tassel idea—so very cute!
Beauitful tablescape! If I had those plates, I'd hug 'em! Seriously they are that sweet! Your tassel is wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the bunny plates! I saw them in the PB catalog and before even turning to the next page, I jumped online and ordered them. And once they arrived I ordered another set!
