Just a Little Touch of Easter

Playing with dishes is always fun for me. I don't enjoy cooking as much. When I used to live in FL closer to my kids, I would host Thanksgiving dinner but I did not cook. I would order a whole thanksgiving dinner from Boston Market but I would set the table really nice. My son would always say that his mom is the only person he knows of who could make Boston Market food look good and attractive on the table, lol.

Well it's playtime and I am ready! I am linking with

Go visit these gracious ladies and their participants for more eye candy.

I have a set of Johann Haviland china in a Brown Rose pattern that I have never used. I won them on Ebay about 3 years ago. I also have a table cloth in a lilac tone that I bought from the French flea market in St. Maarten about a year ago, which I have never used. I decided to use both, finally!

I borrowed this lavender planter from my mom's bedroom. She is staying with my sister right now.

I took a bejeweled bunny from the living room, a natural amethyst stone tea light candle holder from the family room and a triple candelabra from my mom's altar and I got myself a centerpiece.

The bunny gives the table a bit of an Easter touch.

Everything today is kinda matchy-matchy for a change.

Pinzon plate chargers in saffron color were from Amazon a long time ago.

I borrowed the roses from the living room. I thought they had the right color.

Here's a close up of the tablecloth design. It has plants on urns around the border.

I really like the coffee pot set that came with the set. It has that graceful look.

The Bee flatware were from Horchow or Neiman Marcus. The napkins belong to a tablecloth set that I bought from Grand Cayman. I am not sure if I used the tablecloth yet. I always buy table linens when we travel (and we travel a lot) and they accumulate so I never get to use them all. It's an obsession and I can't help being drawn to those stores. John does not help either cause everytime we see one, he points it to me and says, "for your tablescaping". I tell ya, it's hard to resist temptation.

I keep showing this lavender in the urn. Can you tell how much I like it? This picture shows the candelabra too. Actually, I added this picture because it makes my 14th. I don't like to post 13 pictures, sounds unlucky to me.

Here's a mosaic of the accessories. The bunny S & P shakers add to the touch of Easter.

Thank you so much for your visit. I really appreciate it!

And thanks to our 3 lovely hostesses!
