Happy Easter Everyone!!
It’s hard to believe that the Easter season is upon us!! But, I am definitely ready…especially for Spring to arrive!! We’ve had a pretty cold and dreary winter. I had been planning on sharing my Easter tea table setting for a while, but once again, have just not found the time. So, today(the day before Easter Sunday), I decided to have a little tea and some desserts that I purchased at a local bakery
Because (to me) Easter is, first and foremost, about Christ's death on the cross and His ressurection from the grave, I wanted to emphasize this in my theme.
With a little moss covered styrofoam, some rocks and sticks, I made this simple centerpiece. (I first got the idea off of Pinterest, but made some changes to make it quick and simple to put together-about an hour to complete)
Here is my pastel tablesetting.
Each place setting has a different teacup and matching plates.
Of course, I always have to share the lake view through my dining room window.
Today, I am serving three different desserts with my tea. In front- lemon tea cakes; to the left-mini cranberry scones; to the right-peanut butter no-bake cookies.
Tea is being served in a new white "Tl Mulino" teapot, I purchased a T.J. Maxx. I love that it is a large capacity (8 cups) teapot.
I also have my ceramic Easter bunnies and bird (not shown) back, as well as my egg cups. This year, instead of Easter eggs, I added some small flowers in the egg cups.
May you have a joyous Easter
and a happy Spring!!!
Blessings, Ann

I love that moss arrangement with the crosses. I was thinking what a great project that would be even for children. You sure have terrific window views!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bernideen. It would be a great children's craft project...very simple.The original ideas suggested growing grass seed, but that would require some time for it to grow. I didn't have time, as i made it right before Easter. Our view is our favorite thing about our home!! Thanks for stopping by and for hosting the "Friends Sharing Tea" link-up.
DeleteLove this!!!! Pinned for next year! God bless
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! Happy pinning!
DeleteHappy Easter! I love your Easter place settings -- so cute! Blessings! Joan
ReplyDeleteSame to you, my friend! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteYour table setting is lovely, Ann, and I especially love the centerpiece! That really is a wonderful way to get the message across and I immediately thought that it would be a super project for little ones to do with you. So glad you shared with us and joined me for tea. Have a lovely day.

Thanks, Sandi! I thought it was a wonderful display of the meaning of Easter. I have actually left as the centerpiece, as I love how it looks, even if Easter is officially over. :)
DeleteWonderful idea using the crosses in the moss. And I also like the idea of using egg cups as vases. Not everything always needs to be used for original purpose. I can be fun to change it up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Beth. I actually got that idea off of Pinterest, as well. What did we do before Pinterest? LOL!
DeleteI love your Easter centerpiece. It touches my heart! Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martha. Thanks for hosting your link-up party, as well. You have a blessed week, too!
DeleteWhat a lovely Easter table setting and the lakefront view is fantastic! I also love your white 8-cup teapot which is perfect for tea parties!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! Great Easter table. Your handmade centerpiece is wonderful, especially with the gorgeous view of the lake in the window. I really liked seeing your different patterns too--the paisley one is really different and pretty! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :)
