As I was setting this table, I was undecided as to some type of decoration for the center of the smallest plate. I was thinking about a possible bird nest, plant pot, etc. On a quick trip to the thrift store with mom, I happened upon these sweet little espresso cups. Perfect! A quick little nest in each one and the table was complete.
These charger plates are new this spring from my favorite Home Hardware store. Are you tired of seeing the white plates yet? I don't know what I would do without them.
Don't bird nests just say spring!
Pussy willow are out! Have you picked any this year? I got these ones last week. The white lanterns are also from Home Hardware.
TIP: Pussy willow branches will last for years. I filled a mason jar with bird seed and then poked a hand full of pussy willow branches down in the seeds. Tie a ribbon, or raffia around the jar and you have a lovely spring decoration!!
I made dozens of these eggs last year from the Dollar store colored plastic eggs. I love them. If you would like to make some, read these DIRECTIONS.
Out come my little chickens again. You saw them last year on my FIRST EVER tablescape. It was my Easter table.
Nicole and I waited several days for the buds to finally open on my Amaryllis. I told her once they opened she could shoot the table. Well...with her camera. ;) They sure were worth waiting for!
Wishing you a spring time full of fresh starts, and new life!

Your Amaryllis was well worth waiting for. Your table is beautiful, and the wire cloche is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. One of my favorites of your tablescapes.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a sweet table! Love the little mini cups with the eggs in them. Is the HH you mentioned one that has home furnishings? I don't think the one I go to has those chargers but they are really pretty! 2 Cor. 5:17 is my 'life' verse I chose when I was baptized by emersion in 1973! Hope eternal.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Tanya and beautiful photography Nicole! Blessings, Pam

Your tablescape is gorgeous and the little cups with nests are the perfect touch. I was given an amaryllis this year...stunning blooms like yours!!! I hope I can get it to bloom again!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful tablescape. Gorgeous amaryllis and pussy willows, two of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! The layers & patterns of plates... color combinations...wire bird perched cloche...pussy willow!!
ReplyDeleteYour table is beautiful. The espresso cups used as egg cups is a fantastic idea. I love that the slight texture in the tablecloth mimics the texture of the pussy willows...excellent choice! You are ready to celebrate the most important day of our year. Thanked for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay

Your expresso cups was a fantastic find and addition to your Easter Table. The green chargers are so lovely against the white and the green leaves on the plant. I love the wire cloche. Lovely table.

W-O-W!!!!! When I first looked at the 1st photo, I though the colors were navy and white with a pop of chartreuse. I thought that was super cool. Then I discovered that it was actually black and white, and was just as thrilled!! This is so well done, Tanya! SO well done! I love the little egg in its espresso cup "nest." Very creative!!! As for the white plates...I never tire of them! White is such an essential part of so many color schemes, and it is a wonder tool for toning down color. The photography on this post is really great, too! You did an exceptional job with this table, and I am glad to see your beautiful amaryllis in full bloom. Have a wonderful week!!!

ReplyDeleteWow! This table is just scrumptious, as is the photography!! And the little espresso cup is perfect as the final layer in the place setting. I use my two sets of white dishes for everything, just like you. I passed up the pussy willows in Meijer last week- hope they still have them, because I'm going back to the store tomorrow. :-) Sue
