Easter Tablescape

My son really "got" the Easter Bunny and egg hunting this year, which made the holiday so much fun.  I think we did no less than 4 egg hunts this month!





Ready for a big time fighting off the older kids!


It was a crazy hot day!

After some egg hunting, I hosted an Easter dinner.  I started off with a light blue tablecloth I newly acquired the night before Easter.  Of course, I waited until that night to set the table and the cloth was too small...

Plan B!  Which was hunt through my things and come up with a fun table out of what I already have.  I love a challenge!




This runner matches the drapes I had in the dining room (since this post, I have completely redone my dining room).





I found these floral arrangement in my basement leftover from a baby shower I threw.  These kick started my color palette for the rest of the table.




The cute little bunnies came from Target.  They looked so much like the Pottery Barn ones I had to have them!



I picked some plastic eggs in my colors of choice out of the basket and sprinkled them down the table.




A perched a couple eggs inside some Kate Spade demitasse cups.  Aren't they just the most adorable little cups you've ever seen?





The placemats are our regular everyday placemats.  I love the material and the fact that they go with anything.




The metal plates are from the Pottery Barn outdoor collection.  I have them in white, red, yellow, green, and blue.  For this meal, I used the large white ones as chargers and the red and yellow dinner plates for, well, dinner!





The linens were a gift from my Mom and the napkin rings are from Target.





Here we are right after church.  Squinting in the sun.  Sweating through our Sunday best.  Have I mentioned how hot Atlanta is?




After a delicious meal (pork roast with homemade gravy, asparagus, potatoes, salad, and strawberry cake), we dyed some eggs.





I hope my son has fond holiday memories from childhood.  I sure do!
