Pink and Green Easter Table Two Ways

Are you like me and just love setting the

table for a party?  It definitely is one of my

happy places.  

This table was set for my craft group.  We get

together once a month and craft together.

I feel so lucky to have been invited into

this group.  We were talking about it and it

all started a few years ago at Christmas time

when my friend Laura called and said that

some of them were doing a Christmas home

tour that night, and did I want to come. 

Of course I did!!

But was I also willing to let them come visit

my home.  Well, I had spent the whole day baking

for a church dinner and the counter was a mess,

and the ward dinner started in half an hour, but

hubby pulled through and helped me spiff up

the kitchen and I was able to do both the

ward dinner and the home tour.  That was the

start of our craft group.

Since Easter is this week and we were working

on an Easter craft, I decided to set an Easter table.

Normally I would do fresh flowers to bring

in spring, but I had just purchased these beautiful

silk peonies, so they became the centerpiece, sitting

on a grass runner.

These adorable pink and green dotted bunny plates

were purchased several years ago from Home Goods.

Since I was in junior high, pink and green have been

one of my favorite color combinations for spring.

I sat them on my favorite white wood chargers

from Pier 1.

We were having a fondue dinner so I had

two color coded fondue forks for each person

and a brass basket for scooping out things that

don't skewer that well.

The little white rabbits were a favor for

everyone.  I added the moss green wire

and some flowers.  

A little bunny tag was

used for place cards and two kinds of

flowers and a little hot glue and I

had pretty matching napkin rings.  

I only had four of each napkin and there

are eight of us, so I alternated them.

 These pretty pink goblets were purhased

from Pier 1 a couple of years ago.

The final touch for the table was using

my chiavari chairs and covering them with

curly willow chair covers in blush.  I used these

for our Christmas table and they add such a beautiful

touch.  They are from CV Linens and very

reasonable.

I had used the same plates and goblets

for a table in my dining room with a bunny fur

runner.

I used sterling silver flatware for this fancier

table, and the bunnies were nestled in the fur runner.

This glittering bunny was from Pier 1 last year

and was featured atop a gold embellished marble

cake pedestal.  The table featured three of these.

Our fondue dinner consisted of three courses.

The appetizer course was a Southwest Cheese

and an Italian Pizza Cheese.  The main course

was chicken, steak, shrimp and potstickers cooked

in oil.  The final course was chocolate and caramel

fondue with fruit, brownies and cookies for dipping.

It all finished with creating our Grandin Road

copycat Easter Eggs.  Brenda spent hours figuring

out how to create the harlequin pattern and trace

it on for us.

These were mine.  I painted my butterfly egg

pink and added glittered dots.

Brenda had prepped the eggs by painting them

white, then drawing on the pattern.  The eggs

were from Hobby Lobby.

Karen decided to leave her eggs the original color

from Hobby Lobby and she painted on Mod Podge

and glittered them with Martha Stewart Glitter

It was a fabulous evening filled with fun, food,

crafting and lots of fun conversation.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter.
