I could not wait for Mitch to take down my Easter bin from the attic so I went up there and took just a few things that I could carry down, enough to create a bunny tablescape. Right now, I am in Florida again (I hope my hubby does not mess the house too much again), for a wedding and of course to see my grand babies, and I uploaded these photos before I left. Oh how I missed all of the babies!
When I do not have too much time in my hands, I create the tablescape on the square table in the breakfast nook. This table used to be in front of the fireplace in the family room where we played Scrabble all the time. Somehow, we stopped doing that.
I used my green Bordallo Pinheiro plates. Actually the green platter that you see in the center is what inspired me to do this table. It has no bunny but has leaves all over. I found it in a store in St. Francisville last Sat. when we toured 4 antebellum houses during their Audubon Pilgrimage. It was 50% off.

I like the medallions on this silver plated flatware.
I asked John which one he preferred for me to use, the plain green napkins or the polka dotted ones. It is obvious which ones he picked. I have 2 sets of bunny napkin rings, this white ceramics and pewter and I had hubby choose again and the white ones won.
Do you see the bunny name place holders? They are heavy, cast iron, I think and I bought them from Pottery Barn, I think for $5.99 each.
Bunny S & P shakers I bought from Celebration, FL, near Orlando, a long time ago.
The tray under the S & P shakers above actually belong to this majolica gravy boat below.
Tha tablecloth is Butterfly Meadow by Lennox.
I bought this pair of copperish bunnies from TJ Maxx in Monroe, LA after Easter about 2 years ago. I think I only paid >$3 each and they are about 8 inches tall.
Do you see the bunny teapot at the end of the buffet? I just broke it, boohoo! I opened the drawer above it and I did not realize that the bunny ears were in the way and it just came crashing into pieces unto the brick floor.
Pink and green stemware, I like using that color combo for spring.
Thanks a lot for your visits.

Love your tablescape and your bunnies! So pretty. I have ONE green bunny plate (actually it is a salad plate) I think....I found it at a Thrift store once for 25 cents. It had a small chip on it but I loved it. I have it displayed on an easel right now. But...I would so love to have a set of those plates. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Oh, Christine...I'm so sorry the bunny got broken! :-( I know that sinking feeling when you suddenly realize that you've just made a wrong move. Everything kind of happens in slow motion, but not slow enough for you to catch the doggone thing! At least you have photos of him for memories! This is a really great tablescape, and I love all the bunny rabbits. Your flatware is absolutely gorgeous!!! The copper-colored rabbits are really cool, too. Very different! I hope you have a good time at the wedding and enjoy being with your grandchildren. Take care, and have a great week!
Fun table, Christine. I'd like to hop right over and enjoy every detail. You must have an amazing assortment of dishes. Such fun to see different tablescapes that you create will your beautiful dishes.
Very pretty!! I love bunnies and Bordallo Pinheiro, so this table is surely a winner in my book!!
Happy Easter!
He Is Risen!

Fabulous table Christine...so adorable and fun! I specially love the green bunny dishes and gorgeous flatware, just perfect with your green big platter. I love, love this tablescape, you're the best! Sorry for the broken bunny ears, wow, it's been a week of broken dreams, no, things, lol...someone else broke her cloche and my grandgirl just broke the tail of a vintage dog from my collection, boo, boo..I will have a table for TT, tomorrow. Hugs,

This table is so pretty. Easter is joyful and full of Spring. Love the plates with the bunnies. Makes me excited to set my Easter table. I actually do have some cute Easter items! Hope your having a nice visit. My dad says it is very humid now! I'm glad I missed it.
Thanks for sharing your lovely home and the decorations. You have done an excellent job.
Christine, I love the bunny plate and paired with the polka dot napkins it is all so fresh and pretty. hugs, olive
I do love Bordallo! I gave in and bought the big tureen and another piece at HG last week! They had just been marked down. Uh oh!

This is a very pretty spring table! I love the green plates and the bunnies. Have a great day! Pamela
I'm such a softie when it comes to anything "bunny" so I of course love your table! Those dishes are wonderful with the little sitting rabbit. Linda

Hi Christine,
Your tablescape is so pretty. It really does capture the Easter feeling. I loved seeing all your beautiful pictures :)

Hi there Christine. So glad you popped over. Now I can add your blog back to my roll. I have moved over to word press and it has been a tough transition. LOVE your Easter table. Those plates with the bunny in the middle are to darn cute. Love the silverware too.
Christine, I LOVE the plates and wish I had some too. I am SO sorry you broke your teapot! I would have cried, it is so cute!!! Love the gravy boat and using the bottom under the S and P was a great idea. Hope all your babies are great!!!! XO, Pinky
Stunning. You have created an absolute gorgeous Easter tablescape.
I love your Majolica pieces - such a nice collection!!!!
I DO hope you all play Scrabble again soon! Family game night is a riot, and Scrabble is so good to keep our minds sharp......need that from too much bloggin, haha.
OK, I have no idea how you did this, but you just created a table with bunnies and polka dots on it that looks elegant! How do you do that? I love this.
And I really, really love those dishes.
Christine, you have NO idea how much I admire your decorating talent, your home and your most gorgeous family! Amazing! Just plain amazing!
Love,
Mona
I really like this offering as it is in my color range! I love all the bunnies too. So, dear Christine, do you have a room where you store all these things? I think you might need a separate home for it all!
Thanks for sharing.
Linda
Such pretty patterns, layers and springtime details! xo
Lynda
Beautiful! Love your bunnies! Joann
Such a wonderful collection of bunnies, and they are delightful with the marvelous Bordallo bunny plates. I love the color story that you've written here. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
This table is so elegant as well as whimsical and fun. I am so sorry you broke your bunny -- I have tone floors, and since I am a klutz as well as having bad eyesight without glasses, I occasionally break something too. I always want to cry.
I LOVE all your bunnies, Christine! They work great in a tablescape, especially with those dishes.
Your tablescape is so beautiful. I love it all, the dishes are lovely with the bunnies on them. Bunny ears are so delicate, I have to be so careful with them out. Thanks for sharing.
Your table is simply stunning...the pairing of the plates...the napkins...the silverware...the bunnies...I adore it all and i have to go look again...
Your tablescape is beautiful. I love all your green dishes.
Love those green plates Christine and the bunny accessories! I have got to get back to making pretty tables one of these days. I can hardly find time to get dinner on the table no less a pretty table!
Scrabble- that's my mother's favorite game! I hate it- never could come up with great words to use that triple word score!

Gorgeous spring table I love your spring decor with those beautiful colours and Easter bunnies! Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Have a nice day.
Beautiful tablescapes!!!
I love this tablescape-so springlike. I have the bunny plates but mine look a little different. I only have the salad plates and I got them at Tuesday morning last year. I have 12 of them and plan to use them for the first time on Easter.
Hi Christine! Oh, I just fill like a kid in a candy store when I come to your blog. You always set the prettiest tables and have the prettiest things. I have those same green plates and just love them. Look at all of your precious bunnies! Have a wonderful weekend.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love this corner of your kitchen Christine! Your Easter table is beautiful!
Hi Christine,
I just LOVE this table!! All your dishes are so pretty, and the serving pieces are wonderful! I'm trying to collect some Bordallo Pinheiro, but it's going rather slowly at the moment. I have to luck up and find them at the Home Goods or T.J. Maxx; somewhere like that. I also love your polka dot napkins and your bunny napkin holders and place card holders. The glasses are lovely and so is the flatware. You truly have some beautiful treasures! :)
Visiting from Pink Saturday -- hope you have a great weekend!

Christine,
Now I can comment!! I am glad that it helped!!
Love this delightful tablescape!! Full of Easter whimsy!
Enjoy your time in Florida with family!!
Hugs,
Deb
What a charming Easter table with that pretty tablecloth ( I love the dishes in that pattern too). I just broke something too last weekend (glass globes for sconces I had bought to put on the wall in lanai). I guess when you have so many "treasures" accidents are bound to happen. Enjoy Florida! The weather here has been outstanding.

FINALLY! I have been trying for days to leave you a comment, and couldn't. I love the table setting with your beautiful bunny theme. I started trying to comment on your last post when you rearranged the tops of your cabinets. I love it, and I LOVE your wood ceilings. You have a beautiful home Christine!
Very elegant and beautiful setting.!
Visiting a little late for Pink Saturday. My entry is a product of creativity. Have a great weekend!
Christine, you have created a gorgeous and fun bunny table setting. I love the dishes and the platter in the middle of your table. Pretty and very whimsical.
I'm so sorry about your teapot. I know how it feels to break a treasure. sigh!
Have fun in Fl. with your family and enjoy the wedding.
Hugs, Jeanne
What a gorgeous warm and welcoming table! You've been doing so much visiting, I'm amazed you had time for a table. I love all of the green BP. You've displayed them so lovingly.
Wonderful to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

This is my favorite table so far......love the green bunny plates, all the serving pieces, the candlesticks, napkins and the glasses......so fresh and pretty!!! hugs...cleo
Love all bunnies in all kind. They are so sweet.
You have so adorable treasures that I would love to own. I am loving every piece (same reason as usual) but I really do.
Can glue together the broken pieces? Sayang, but in our tradition, pag-may nabiak daw, you have to throw away na, coz it's bad luck.
Hope you had a great time in Grannylandia and have a great Palm Sunday.

Christine, you spoil us with your beautiful tablescapes ... especially putting them together before you go out of town! I know you are enjoying the babies. Wonderful bunnies and i really like the green bunny plates and the duck!!! Happy Spring!
HAPPY PALM SUNDAY! I'm sure you're having fun and enjoying your babies...God bless you all your family this Palm Sunday. My babies just left today back home, they start school tomorrow Monday, they were on their summer vacation. Huhs,
FABBY
Just coming over to wish you a happy Easter! Love the dishes! I have the salad plates, teapot and platter, but not the plates you have. It's always interesting to see how other people use them. Sorry about your teapot. Home Goods had some cute Easter bunny teapots this year, so maybe it will be fun shopping for a replacement (next year?)! Have fun in FL!
Good morning Christine. thanks for your comment yesterday. I enjoyed your lovely post all over again.
Hugs, Jeanne
Such a beautiful Easter tablescape you've set! I love the green Bordallo buuny plates and you have an amazing collection of china. Love the gorgeous medallion flatware:)Sorry about your cute teapot:( Enjoy your time with your family in Florida:)~Arani
