It's Easter in the Junction!

Well the forsythia has finally bloomed, and there are buds on the trees. I guess all that rain and snow was a good thing. Can Easter be far behind? Not here in The Junction!
My plan for this Easter family celebration began in December when my Dear Patient Hubby gave me 8 of the most beautiful dishes as a Christmas gift. As soon as I saw them, I knew I would use them for our Easter table. They did not have bunnies, nor were they really pastel, but for some reason, I knew I was going to use them as a jumping of point for my Easter tablescape.
I had also been inspired by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to use a moss 'tablecloth' and the Easter 'naturescape' idea took on a life of it's own.

I started with a moss runner.

I found this at Michaels

Not very attractive here, but I was hopeful.

Once rolled out on top of a light blue tablecloth,

it was a little messy. I would recommend having

a Dustbuster on hand!

I also picked up two packages of the

12x12 sheet moss

to cover and fill in

 I chose this as my centerpiece because

it has an antique finish that

appeals to me.

The 12x12 sheet moss was used to cover the

bottoms of the candleholders

And I even filled the candle holder tops with it

to add a cushion for the candles

The little birds on the candleholders

 also look as if they have

some age to them

These little placemats remind me

of Easter Bonnets!

Finally -  here is the pattern of the

Christmas gift dishes

Here is a full view of the placesetting

These soup bowls are not part of the set my

Husband gave me but I thought they

were a perfect compliment to them

The interior pattern of the soup bowl

The pewter napkin rings

also have a spring bird resting on a branch

To the right of the placesetting, is an egg in cup

placecard holder and blue egg shaped

salt and pepper shakers to the left are from

The Christmas Tree Shop

centerpiece

Not to be left out, the buffet is also

set for the celebration

I thought Mr.and Mrs. Rabbit

deserved a closeup

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today.

I wish you a blessed holiday.
