Spring Bunny Tablescape

March 26,02015

Last year we celebrated Easter twice,  on Easter Sunday and again two weeks later so that my son Chris and my DIL Zhenia could be here.  We decided to combine my son Bobby's BDay, Mother's Day,  and Cinco Di Mayo all together with our belated Easter celebration.  The table was set  for spring and Easter but for whatever reason I didn't do a post on this occasion.  So I thought I would share the pictures with you today.

See the cute little chick S&P shakers?  They were a gift from my sweet DIL for Easter last year.  As usual this was an entirely thrifted table with the exception of the burlap table covering,  the green flatware which came from Marc's (my favorite closeout store) a couple of years back,  the S&P'S and a bit of miscellaneous from the stash..
 
The china is Mikasa's Imari Bouquet, a pretty floral pattern that I found at Goodwill near where I worked at that time.  The cabbage bowls are hand painted ceramics from the 1980's.

The bunnies were used two weeks earlier for the first Easter table and just reused with a crafty clay pot  centerpiece.

 

The centerpiece is stacked clay pots with a few artificial plants and burlap carrots from Pat Catan's a local craft store.  Their everyday prices are usually lower than Hobby Lobby's or JoAnn's even with the silly coupons.

 

Before I removed the burlap table covering from the table I set one more table that I wasn't particularly fond of and had decided not to post it until now.  I don't know why but it didn't look quite right to me.  Maybe the burlap didn't suit the pattern of the dishes,   I think a plain white tablecloth would have worked better. After I cropped this and that off of the pictures they look much better to me now.

 I think the plates are a Patricia Brubaker design. 

 

As usual my two BFF's were watching every move that I made - Cheetah

(doesn't he have the sweetest face?)

and the Black Prince.

Remember to thrift on ladies,  thrift on, you never know what you will find.  Case in point - Earlier this week I was at the Goodwill store near where I live.  There was a cart of items that were just priced and waiting to be put on the shelves.  As I walked up to the cart there was a lady picking up a Lladro figurine of a boy and a girl on a teeter totter in pristine condition,  it was marked $8.00.  This lady and I chattered for a good ten minutes about our Goodwill finds before she checked out right before me (she was so excited about her find) and we continued to chatter about the figurine while the cashier rang up her purchases.  When I came home I looked the Lladro figurine up on Ebay.  The ones listed there for sale there were priced from the $160.00  dollar range to upwards of $300.00......  Just sayin,  thrift on........
