Around the Home Tablescapes

23 Easter Tablescapes

Welcome! I am so glad that you have stopped by today. If this is your first time visiting Red Cottage Chronicles, you may not know how I love to style pretty tables for every occasion.  Several times throughout the year Chloe from Celebrate and Decorate hosts a week-long tablescapes blog hop and this week it is all about Easter tablescapes.

At the end of this post you will find links to all the bloggers participating this week, but first I am delighted to be sharing our Easter tablescape today.

Our family usually celebrates Easter dinner at the home of my sister and brother-in-law as they are the only ones that have room to accommodate 13 (and sometimes more) around the table! This year we will also be celebrating two belated birthdays at the same time! 

Easter Tablescapes blog hop

Even though we will be having the larger Easter meal with our extended family, our own little family of four will still spend time around our table together Easter weekend.  When it comes to Easter tablescapes, I always tend to choose pastel colors.  This year was no different.

23 Easter Tablescapes

My inspiration for this years table was these cute little Beatrix Potter books I found while browsing at local antique store recently.  At just $2 each I couldn’t pass them up.

Who can resist The Tale of Peter Rabbit?

Easter Tablescapes blog hop

I used my simple, dimpled edged white dinner and salad plates layered with pink Hemstitch napkins.  Faux grass squares I purchased at the dollar store make whimsical place mats.  

Spring Tablescapes blog hop

China teacups that were handed down from my grandmother wait for tea to be served after our meal.  Each one different than the other.

If you know me at all, you know how much I love fresh flowers! Instead of one floral centerpiece, I used two this time. Both potted flowers purchased at the nursery.

The Violas not only look good in this tin stand, but I also sugared some of them to use on top of the cupcakes! On the table I just wrapped them in pink tissue and set them in the stand. How easy is that?

Later I will plant them outside in my window boxes.  For less than $10 I sure will get my money’s worth!

I love to use food in my tablescapes, and along with the cupcakes I made our family’s go-to 10 minute birthday cake.

Easter Tablescapes Blog Hop

I couldn’t resist this little Rae Dunn Creamer from HomeSense.  I will definitely be using this well beyond Easter!

Easter Tablescapes

Down the center of the table I used this beautiful sign painted by my very talented friend Leslie! She makes gorgeous signs and when she told me I could choose any one for myself, I knew right away it would be this one.  Not only is she a very talented sign painter, but my goodness the girl can sing! She sang Amazing Grace at my father’s funeral.  Both the song and Leslie hold a special place in my heart!

Easter Tablescapes

Not to mention, it is painted on an old piece of red wood that came off an old barn! Love!

23 Easter Tablescapes

I hope you have enjoyed my little table tour and found a little inspiration for your own! The benefit of posting on the last day of the blog hop is that all the links for the week are now live.  You can start with Monday and browse all the Easter tablescapes for the week! 

Until next time….

    Maureen I immediately went to the Amazing Grace sign your friend gifted you. The story behind it is precious. Your grandmother’s tea cups are also special to your pastel table. Who could resist the Flopsy and Mopsy tales of Peter Rabbit. What a find on the books. I would expect nothing less than your making a pretty dessert and the cupcakes with real sugared pansy’s look delish. The 10 minute cake just adds to your display nicely.
    It is another lovely Easter Tablescape and I can’t wait until our next blog hop to see what you have in store for us. You are definitely and inspiration my friend. Happy Easter to you and your family.

    Maureen soooo much to absolutely love about your table! First, those little books will have me scrambling around the house and digging into storage to find my own — I have one to go with each Beatrix Potter figurine in my collection of 18-20. Maybe you’ve seen my tablescape featuring them?Forgot I had the books … Somewhere! I a, mad for those sugared Violet’s on the cupcakes. Gotta give that a try. And that sign, wow. An important of the true reason for celebrating Easter.

    Maureen, I love your darling Peter Rabbit books. They are a treasure as are your collection of pretty teacups. I am also admiring your cake stand with the green ribbon. Your cupcakes look so pretty on it.
    I’ve never sugared violas and I have seen them done before but you have challenged me to do that before mine give way to the heat.
    Your table has so much eye-candy today. Now, I need to make some cupcakes and sugar violas!

      Awww! Thank you Bonnie! Sugaring the violas are so easy. Just be sure to use organically grown, pesticide free blooms!

    Maureen, your Easter theme brought back wonderful memories to me. I collected the Beatrix Potter books for my older daughter when she was little. They now sit on a bookshelf in my older granddaughter’s bedroom. What a great way to use them in your tablescape. The flowers are so pretty and fresh. Hope you “little” family and your “big” family have a lovely Easter dinner.

    Maureen, I love the soft pastels of your Easter tablescape. How clever to use those faux grass squares from the dollar store as placemats! What a sweet way to remember your grandmother by using her lovely teacups. Beatrix Potter books were a favorite of mine from childhood…they were a great thrifting find and the perfect addition to your Easter table. I love how you styled the violas with tissue paper and popped them into the tin stand. And the sugared violas are a sophisticated touch to your yummy cupcakes. It’s always a pleasure hopping with you. Happy Easter!
