Sharing My Simple Spring/Easter Tablescape for 2009

This was the table scape for our family Easter dinner this year. Not so much of my usual vintage style decor, because I was looking for super EASY!! My dishwasher blew up a couple of months ago. So, we all decided to go the paper plate route. And because I really don't like doing dishes I agreed. I began with my creamy white tablecloth and my vintage yellow linen table runner. Then I used pretty pink large plates with a fun, cute green Easter print salad plate on top. Then I found some sweet pastel polka dot napkins. I thought it looked pretty festive! And yes, I still used the gold flatware! I'm not crazy about plastic forks, etc. Here's a closer look. You can also see the fun pastel buckets I put in a row down the middle of the table for the centerpiece. Each bucket has a decoupage' vintage style scene of a old fashion bunny or chick. So adorable!! Then they were each filled with lots and lots of candy!! Mostly chocolate! That's right chocolate. If you're going to do Easter candy it had better be chocolate in my house! Every one at the dinner took one home for a mini Easter basket treat. And last but not least.... what is Easter with out dyed eggs!! And let me tell you these eggs were DYED!! I know because I'm the one who dyed them and let me just say that, if you put the eggs in the dye and walk away for several hours, they really turn out quite BRIGHT!! I have never done that before, but if you'd like super bright eggs next year. I say GO FOR IT!! Anyway, I hope that your Easter holiday was wonderful and thanks for stopping by. Next year I'll try to do more shabby, more cottage and definitely more vintage! My best to all! Chris
