IT'S A CUPCAKE EASTER

I am continuing my quest to actually complete my Easter table scapes and use all of my Easter decor in some fashion...This is my 3rd scape and I have more to come...This one is a sweet cupcake setting....

I love this little cupcake Easter lunch...and to think it was all inspired by these tiny cupcake forks...four of them and they are so sweet...I found them at TJ Maxx a few months ago...

Well the little forks and the chickie cupcake cups....Isn't this a sweet one with the three little strawberries on top...

The centerpiece is the flowers from Michaels with a wreath thrown over the top...actually that is exactly what I did...I just needed a little yellow in with the pink and blue....

The pale yellow plates and glasses are depression glass...a gift from my friend Mary...

The acyclic flatware is from Ross and the braided place mate are from a local gift shop..Don't they look like small rugs.....I like the way the placemats show through...

This is the second fork...love the sweet little green plate and the pile of whip cream...

Mr. Rabbit is watching over this whole table...

.Do you always bring out all your decorations for each Holiday or do you pick and choose...I usually pick and choose, except this year...everybody get to come out for awhile...

This chickie looks like he is singin a song.......to all the bloggers


Don't ask me why but this rabbit riding a chick is one of my favorites...who knows why...do rabbits ride chicks??..nooooo

and he is carrying a chicken head on a stick...what does that even mean...who knows..I like it anyway...love those berries

Looks like the chickie is in the chicken coop....


Ohh this cupcake has a whole strawberry and a swirley red and white cupcake holder...

These little cupcake holders can be filled with candies or nuts or mints...their fun and came from a wholesale company in another town...

Giddy uppppp...


The Orange ade is perfect for this warm day...I just know there is more rain coming before a beautiful summer...

This is the little sweet blueberry cupcake....


Well Mr. Rabbit is riding off into the sunset.....bye bye

Thank you for joining me on this quest to give all the Easter decorations a chance in the sunshine...please leave a message..I love hearing from you and I read them all...love it when you spend time around the house...

EASTER EASTER EASTER


This is a combination of a few tablescapes combined...if you are a follower of mine, some of the pieces should look familiar to you...I always try to use what I have and make it look a little different....It seems as though I am always looking for an inspiration piece of some kind...
Oh pink pink pink...
I usually try to find something new to add to each tablescape, this year I think the inspiration was the Easter bunny with the cart of eggs and the Easter painters.....
.You gu

Oh here come the rabbits....
These little artist, egg painting bunnie are the sweetiest ever, I think I picked them up at the GW last year for 3.00...how could you leave them behind...I don't think I have used them before....I love the little chick at mama bunny's fe


The bunny plates are from Marshals a couple of years ago...I have not seen them again....I think the inspiration for this tablescape came from the bunny napkin rings from Pottery barn...I purchased them last year...love the basket weave
Ahhhhhh........

the painter of the eggs...

and the teacher ...

Sometimes this metal rocking horse rabbit looks kinda mean....

This guy looks tooo sweet............The dinner plates are from the GW last year and I love the springy summer look....I'm sure you will be seeing them again in a garden setting.....

Ahhh, fix my bow...



Here comes Peter Cottontail....




The Easter egg napkins are from TJ Maxx...the eggs are so beautifully embroidered with the softest colors in each egg made them just irresistible, the checkered napkins are from pier 1 a few years ago...I think they coordinate well...The large plates are Capriware hand painted in China...they have glasses that match the pattern I will use in a tablescape this summer...would you believe they came from the GW and with 4 plates and 4 glasses it was 10.00, can hardly believe the price...



The flowers are from Michaels and they were 40% off...they are soft soft pink...toooo sweet..The Easter cookies are from Big Lots....


Love those soft sweet eggs...with the Pansies....


Ahhhhh....
I love the checkered napkins, the softness kind of goes with the crosses on the plate, it is all so springy..The rabbit plates are from Marshals and were very inexpensive....

Looking through the garden gate...lol
Peek a Boo I see you....

You can see the sweet bunny napkin ring much better in this shot....

Hi Mr. Bunny...
These napkin rings are a favorite and are from Pottery Barn, I like the way the bunny is up high...


Here comes our egg shipment..
.Love those panseys..........sweet sweet

The centerpieces which are the bunny pushing the cart and the painters are all from the GW, I believe originally they were from Costco.....love the sparkly

Sparkley eggs always taste better...lol...everyone knows that...
One little chickie in a sparkly egg bed....


What a beautiful day for egg gathering....

A LITTLE TASTE OF EASTER

Who could resist white bunnies and toasted coconut cake coconut cake.....


I made this beautiful cake last year...I was so proud of it...ssssssssssssssssooooooo beautiful....ssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooooo DRY...but pretty...so if your wondering where the recipe is....be happy I am not putting you through that....We can however focus on the tulips...

This is a coconut cake I made last year for Easter....and trust me I would have been more then happy to share the recipe, except for the fact that the cake although beautiful, was kind of dry and I would not use the recipe again..it did make for a pretty picture....Those are yummy chocolate eggs under the glass container.




I loved the way the cute little Easter eggs look on the cake so darn cute...love the white bunnys with the little Michael Kors ribbons on their necks...so chic...lol

The rabbits with the beige (Michael Kors ribbon) were from the GW and were very inexpensive....the larger rabbit was from Tuesday Morning and believe it or not it was way after Easter and on the sale rack and was 1.99...




You have seen the white bunny casserole dish before ...it seems he is around a lot...The little candy Easter eggs are the perfect touch for this nesting cake...

The Easter eggs were a decoration I thought added to the cake...tweaking...(it's a curse)...lol...you all know what I am talking about.



I know it is early for Easter..but never too early for cake....

The beautiful tulips certainly add to the cheery table..



This cake plate is one of my favorites...not sure where it is from...just seems to fit every occasion with it's little skirt....


The cake plate is a favorite of mine...the little eyelet skirt around it always makes the cakes look so special....I am not sure where it was purchased many years ago...
