Tablescape Thursday

It's time again for my favorite linky party, Tablescape Thursday, by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.  Although I'm currently on vacation, I just couldn't miss this linky.  There hasn't been a Thursday I haven't visited links at Susan's party, since I found her a year ago.  You'll see BEAUTIFUL tables, formal and casual, with lovely tableware.  Today is especially wonderful since mostly everyone will be showing off their Easter tables.

For my Easter table, I decided to use a set my husband purchased for me at an estate sale.  Although sometimes he gives me a hard time because I have over a dozen sets of dishes and, yes, I keep buying more! he's such a sweetheart to purchase this set for me.  The design is a white picket fence with spring flowers, perfect for Easter.

    


here's a closer look:








I love these cute little birds, salt and pepper shakers, I found at Marshall's

Happy Easter everyone, if you don't celebrate Easter, Happy Spring to all.  Don't forget to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.

  3. Oh, what a beautiful table, Maria! LOVE your dishes. I was just saying to someone that if you can't have a white picket fence in real life, then at least you can just surround yourself with white picket fences in other ways.. your crafts, your decorations, etc... And here you did it! Wishing you a very Happy Easter! ~tina

  5. I love this tablescape - the tablecloth, the colors, and especially the beautiful dishes. I just purchased my 14th set of dishes so I understand the need. Really, I'm going to try and make it my last set. We'll see!
