Carrot Top Tablescape


These fun Lindt Truffles keep popping up around
Purple Chocolat Home (and disappearing too!)

They were perfect for a carrot themed tablescape this week.


This week's table was inspired by these whimsical
creations by
Heather Goldminc.

When I saw these at Home Goods/TJMaxx a 
couple of years ago, I just couldn't resist.  I adore
the treehouse made out of carrots.


The details are so cute, from the carrot flanked doors
with the Easter eggs on the side, the hanging
bunny and even the chimney and the window
sills are carrots.

Each can hold a little candle.



So with the colors of the Heather Goldminc houses,
a coordinating table was created.


Orange and green and white look so fun and festive
together on this table.


Of course, a bunny would want to start with a cabbage 
leaf plate, also from Home Goods.


This wonderful carrot colored plate has perfect
ruffled edges.


The sun shines so prettily through the green
bubble goblets.


Pretty green napkins and placemats also come from Home
Goods.  A pretty butterfly napkin ring is perfect.





The little Lindt carrot has to be photographed
quickly or it might be stolen by little rabbits
running through the house today.
(We do have some cupcakes with carrots missing!)


One sparkling egg nestles under a small cloche.



A cream iron pedestal holds another cache
of sparkling eggs.  

I hope you enjoyed our whimsical table today.

I will be posting with

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  9. I love this tablescape! The cabbage plates are adorable....I see them from time to time and I'm always tempted to buy them....and then I think of a dozen reasons not to....until I see a table set with them and then I want them again!!!
    Very cute napkin rings too! I also had the Lindt carrots on my Easter table this week!

  10. Jacqueline, this is a darling table. I love the mix of the cabbage plates with the ruffled orange plates. I need to remember that combination, though I don't have any orange ruffled plates. ;-) I have a few pieces by Heather Goldminc. She is very clever with her designs.

  13. Everything looks so pretty ~ as usual! Wish I had one of those cupcakes right now...but I would give you the truffle. I know I'm weird but I don't care for candy and never even think about eating it. Wish I were the same way re: pies, cookies, cake, etc. :-)

  14. I would steal those carrots too. I love the ruffled plates.. how great those are. Love the white chargers! I have them too and I have to resist using them every single week. The bunny house is perfect for this table.. and so is the purple topper in the center of the table. Oh where did those precious napkin rings come from!! Great table!

  20. Darling carrot-themed table! I never would have thought that orange plates would appeal to me, but your carrot-colored ruffled edge plates are sweet and they look perfect in your setting. I'll now keep my eyes open for some of them. Simply adorable!

  29. I love your vibrant table...orange is so under-used, it is good to see it other than during autumn.
    Happy Easter, Jacqueline

  30. I have been trying for over a year to devise a table that would use orange and green with style.

    I keep flunking.

    YOURS is wonderful! I love the whimsy in the carrots and cabbage, etc. I'm going to scroll back through now so I can really see details.

    Wonderful and such a happy table for the Easter season, too.
