Easter Candy Shoppe Brunch & Giveaway

Check out my giveaway at the end of this post.


Layers of pastels and florals start this wonderful 
Easter Candy Shoppe table.


Polka dots and strips, solids and florals
all mix together to create a soft and
pretty setting.


My good friend Annette owns these
fun Easter dishes.  We combined her
dishes with my glassware, flatware and chargers
to create a gorgeous  Easter table.


We started with a lavender charger and started layering
with these wonderful floral plates in a pale green.


A smaller matching floral plate tops the adorable polka dot
plate.  Every placesetting finishes with a striped or polka
dot egg shaped dish.





Cute little baskets with salt and pepper sets accent each
place setting.





Aren't these ceramic bunnies adorable for napkin 
holders.  The striped linens really pull everything
together.


Striped or polka dotted mugs go well with the purple
bubble goblets.


Easter candy and chocolate fill the center of 
the table to tempt you.


A stacking tray in the center features chocolate eggs
from See's.  I used the green floral plates again
on the stacking tray.


I can't believe there isn't a bite out of one of these eggs
while I am taking photos.


Annette has both cute little chicks and bunnies that hold
candies or eggs.






I placed the little floral plate under the mugs
too.  Aren't the polka dots so sweet?
I can't decide which I like better, the stripes or polka dots.




Now that is a king sized bunny surrounded
by other easter goodies giving the table the
candy shoppe feel.


We have included a chocolate cake in
the center of the table, something for everyone.


Little Lindt chocolate carrot umbrellas 
are hung on the goblets.







Thanks Annette for letting me play with your fun dishes!
I don't know if I can give them back!


 

Hope you get your fill of chocolate from your Candy Shoppe.

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.

  1. Gorgeous, but of course that's the norm for your creations.

    I'd love to enter your giveaway, but my family and friends are a boys-only domain, so I'll pass in hopes someone with a little girl can win one of those lovely headbands.

  2. What a fun table -- the grand bunny is so fun as well as all the rest of the candy and dishes. The little Lindt carrot umbrellas how unique and charming. I am sure that your grands love this table and can't keep their little hands off of it. Love the lavendar chargers too. I agree with you -- don't give back the dishes!! Joni

  5. Hi Jacqueline,
    I discovered your photo - you are a very charming lady! But I don't believe you, that this cute child is a granddaughter to you!
    I love your table with the soft colors. They are so perfect matching. The flowers plates are stunning and all of the other things are nice, too. I am sure I had not taken a photo of this beautiful chocolate egg without the thought of eating it.
    Best greetings, Johanna

  10. It looks like you attract readers that love candy. I wonder if they would be interested in making money with a candy fundraiser? There are lots of high profit candy fundraising ideas and most candy fundraisers have very low minimum orders.

  11. I think this is one of the prettiest Easter tables ever! I love the colors and all the little touches that make it so special. Wonderful candy and the cake! The headband is so cute but since I'm having a GrandSon I will hope someone with a little girl will win! hugs, Linda

  16. Jacqueline, what an absolutely adorable table. And a great idea to combine your things with your friends. One of my neighbors has offered to let me come play with her dishes for a tablescape. I think I will!
    All the polka dots, stripes, and pastels are perfect for a springtime table set for Easter. I actually like that Easter falls late this year. ;-)

And that little cutie at the end with the pretty headband is the most beautiful part of a beautiful post! Linda

  59. Hi, Jacqueline! I am SO late getting around to seeing all the beautiful tables this week. My husband and I were out of town on Thursday and Friday, so I'm just getting a moment to sit down, catch my breath, and do something enjoyable. So glad your table was first on the list today because it is a beauty! I practically LIVE in Z Gallerie, but I don't recall ever seeing those gorgeous lavender rhinestone-studded chargers. They're perfect!!! I love the purple bubble goblets, too. Like you, I LOVE all shades of purple. I just don't have the occasion to use it as much as I'd like. That's one reason why I like visiting your blog so much! This is a gorgeous Easter table!!!
