A Thrifted Easter Tablescape

I have to admit, we don't sit at the dining table nightly for dinner. We are empty nesters and often sit wherever to eat--the counter, the couch, the table, the library. But, I do love setting a pretty table for a holiday meal, when family and friends will join us. I decided to give my Easter tablescape a trial run, complete with some staged food.

I decided I wanted a bright, cheery tablescape for Easter this year, rather than the softer pinks and greens I set the table with last year. So, I went thrifting for a brighter tablecloth, napkins, and supplementary dishes. I plan on using my vintage rose and floral print Easter dishes that I thrifted a few years ago, but want to add a few, brighter pieces.

I found these bright green salad plates and decide they would add a nice pop. An orange planter and brightly colored napkins were perfect. The napkins have parrots on them which is not Easter-like, but they will work. I will keep looking up until Easter for something else and keep these for summer dining. The striped tablecloth, that I think is brand new, has all of the colors I wanted--pink and green and yellow and orange. I wash all thrifted linens in hot water and use Lysol laundry sanitizer on them.

I also found these pink candleholders at the same time as the other items.

I melted some wax in them to get the candles to stand up. The white, ceramic bunny was thrifted last year. The vintage books add to the cheery color scheme and they help to create different heights which is more visually appealing.

Vintage thrifted Fiestaware and Le Creuset dishes bring more color to the table setting.

The orange planter will get REAL tulips for Easter brunch. The bunny spreader is perfect for butter and the green Le Creuset olive jar holds strawberry jam.

The stemless wine glasses that hold the yellow napkins are plastic  cups that we use for sipping wine in the hot tub. They are the perfect colors--lilac, orange, green, and aqua blue. The pink water goblets were a gift from my sister.

The mix and match dishes are all from the thrift store. The spring colors are just right for Easter.

Other than the glasses and the silverware, this entire tablescape is from a thrift store. I can't wait to serve Easter Brunch here next week. Do you like setting a pretty table?
