...a whimsically white easter table

 

...hello my dears

 

~ happiest spring! ~

 

are you all ready for you Easter tides?!

 

 i've been delightfully busy

creating a few pretties for my easter table!

this year,

  i wanted a whimsical fairytale like feel...

 

 

 

 

the food will be the beautiful color

while everything else is as a blank palette to showcase it!

some of you may remember my lamb from this post

~ lovely lamby  ~

i simply adore him,

 and anticipate seeing him on my easter table every year!

 

 

 

 

as soon as i "eye spied"

 this sheer embroidered cross fabric at Joann Fabrics

i was inspired!

 

 

 

 

a small handful of pretties,

can become lovely napkin rings.

 simply thread silk lilac blooms

and pearls onto white wire,

the length of your napkin ring

plus a little extra for twisting off

 

 

 

 

 

add a pretty band of organdy petal trim under each one,

fasten to your napkin rings

and voila!

a delicate napkin ring holder!

 

 

 

 

i wanted pretty "sugared eggs" for each place setting

and looked all over for them

ahhh

yah right!

all the stores have done cutbacks ~

ie. back to basic juicy colors

ie. not too many fairytale like pretties to be found!

 

but, not to worry...

all you need is a few wooden eggs

(i like the weight of them better than paper mache ones)

paint them white and once dry,

paint them again with elmers glue and sprinkle with sugar

er ~

i mean sparkly white glitter!!

lol!!

 

 

 

 

for my name place markers

i used silk petals that i removed from a few magnolia flower stems that i liked,

 a feather rose for my "sugared egg" to nestle in,

a rhinestone cross charm,

(all of which were found at Joann Fabrics)

and pearl napkin ring holders that i already had.

put them all together and...

 

 

 

 

ooohhhh

sooo puuuuurty!!

wouldn't you agree??

 

 

 

 

i wanted three candles on my table around lovely lamby

to signify, three days...

i used the tall holy candles

and tied them

ballerina style with tulle,

then added a pretty lace and pearl bracelet

around each of them at the bottom.

~ easy peasy loveliness!! 

 

 

 

 

here is my set table...

i like to set it a few days before

as to not feel rushed

that,

and i enjoy creating a pretty table :)

 

 

 

 

see the buffet?

it used to be a spiced pear color...

 

NOT NOW!!!

 

nope

now, it has been Annie Sloaned!!

French Linen and then white washed...

 

LOVE IT!!

 

 

 

 

i know it's hard to see,

but i made mini chandeliers for the inside!!!

 

 

 

 

and painted my candle cabinet to match!

yes,

i said candle cabinet...

i have a thing for beautiful soy candles...

 

 

 

 

i pulled out my white bubble glass dishes for this table...

 

 

 

 

i adore their swirly glass that has an opalescent finish  

just like bubbles...

 

 

 

 

~ sigh ~

 

 

 

 

now i can focus on the pretty easter food delights!!

 

 

 

 

i wish each and every one of you dear readers,

a most joyous Easter time with your "peeps"

 

HA!

see what i did there?!?!

i will be sharing this plaster rose sculpture with you!

so tune in next time...
