A Little Easter on the Cabinet

Using a few old and a few new Easter treasures,

Sam and I created a little Easter vignette 

 on the new cabinet in the family room.

New this year is the book 

"The Country Bunny And The Little Gold Shoes"

My friend Nita wrote a post about it on her blog 

"Mod Vintage Life" a few years back, and

I've searched for it since and was excited to

find the 75th anniversary edition 

at Barnes & Noble.

Get one here.

I thought the cover had perfect colors 

for the vignette and, of course, 

a perfect theme.

One thing old, is the glass candy dish 

Easter bunny with a basket on his back 

filled with chocolate.

From Tuesday Morning many years ago.  

That makes three bunnies I have with 

baskets on their backs...must have been 

how the Easter Bunny was 

depicted during the Victorian era.

This little bobble head bunny is from 

 the 2005 collection "A Good Egg"

by Fitz and Floyd.

Sam found this little two tier server sitting 

at HomeGoods this year.  

She was so in love with the shimmery color 

and the cabbage motif I couldn't say no... 

even though I was set on somehow obtaining

get one here

this aluminum bunny & chick server 

from Pottery Barn.

At $100 it was quickly turning into 

a pipe dream.

It's sold out anyway, so...temptation over.

This egg plate is new this year also.

The colors are perfect and match just about 

anything Easter in this house.

Get one at Pier 1 for $6.36

We found it at Pier 1.

At Hallmark this year we stumbled onto

 this adorable little blue bunny 

with polka dots.

I found the perfect candy to fill him with...

Reece's Pieces Eggs. 

They have prefect Easter colors and 

compliment

everything is this display.

Is everybunny ready for Easter?

It's sneaking up fast!

Thanks for stopping by

and happy hunting!

A Hoppy Easter Tablescape

After four years in the making...

The time has come to showcase

The Ozark Easter Tablescape!

Drumroll please......

Ta-Daaa!

I know, it's not the most spectacular 

Easter tablescape in blogland, far from it, but

after four years of trying to piece one together,

we're rather proud of it. 

Newly acquired this year is our centerpiece,

a large white bunny with a basket on his back.

I added the Hydrangea for color.

We found him at Williams-Sonoma 

get one here $44.95 

 They claim he was Inspired by the 

whimsical illustrations in vintage storybooks.
We think he's simply perfect.

The pastel stripe table runner was a 
lucky find from HomeGoods two years ago,
it has all the colors we used in our scape. 

The bunnies with the baskets 

came from Michael's in 2010.

After seeing them on Susan's table

in her blog Between Naps on the Porch,

we just had to have them.

She used them as napkin rings then and later

as treat holders.

The hobnail glasses are 

another new addition this year from Pier One.

get the here $5.95ea,

They're the Emma Hobnail Tumblers.

I thought the hobnail added a touch of nostalgia 

to the scape and a little whimsy.

I'm sure you noticed the 

calorie free cupcakes?

They're from Pier One ca. 2013

We just had to have them after we procured

the cutest bunny cupcake stands from

Pottery Barn in January of last year. 

Bunny Dessert Stands $14.50 ea.

I have a post about them here.

Each cupcake is covered in 

a sugar like coating and features 

a little springtime character on top.

Here's a little blue bird.

The salad plates are from the 

"Rabbit" line by Bordallo Pinheiro.

We've had them the longest,

they were picked up for $3.99 each at Ross 

many years ago.

Under the salad plate we find new napkins

in the "Hoppy Spring" fabric, 

sewn up by Sam's talented friend Eden.

They're double sided half circles

folded in a pie shape to show off both colors...

all Eden's idea! Brilliant!!

 The white dinner plates are also new 
this year from Pier One.
They're part of the Madeline line, 

 get them here $4.80 ea. on sale

with a simple decorative edge.
They add a bit of elegance.

For a place mat I wanted a

natural material that might represent

something bunnies would like.

Again, it's Pier One to the rescue,

with their woven water hyacinth mats.

get them here ON SALE for $6.36 ea.

 The airy loops bring the whimsy level

up a few more notches.

The set of four bread plates

came from Kohl's two years ago from their  

"Blossoms & Blooms" line.

They not only crank up the white bunny count, 

they help tie all the colors together pleasingly.

Another butterfly cupcake 

on the pink place setting.

The purple glass bunny in a basket covered

candy dish was from HomeGoods

about four years ago.

Do you see those little glass eggs, gems, 

and beads laying all around the table?

get the Easter Gem Mix here $7.95

They call it table scatter at Pier One,

it adds a little sparkle and interest 

to the table.

"Just don't eat it!!"

The yellow place setting has 

a flower topped cupcake.

"Don't eat those either!!"

That completes our grand circle tour

of the Ozark Easter Tablescape.

I hope everybunny had an Eggcellent time!

Thanks for hopping by
