Spring Thyme | Recipes & Style Blog Hop

March 21, 2017

Spring is one of my favorite seasons. The weather is getting warmer, flowers are blooming and it’s almost time for picnics in the park and long evening walks. The coming of spring is such a mood booster for me and I’m just giddy that it is staying light outside until almost 9:00 o’clock.

Now that spring is here, I’m starting to see lots of spring blog tours popping up on the web. I don’t do much in the way of decorating for spring but I do love creating pretty seasonal tablescapes. And it just so happens that my friend Tamyra with Positively Southern is hosting a fun ‘Spring Thyme Recipe & Style’ blog hop and invited me join the fun.

There are a total of 9 bloggers on this tour and today is just part one of the blog hop. We’ll all be back next Tuesday (3/28) to share more spring style and recipe inspiration so mark your calendars.

If you’re coming over from Clutter Cafe, welcome. Lisa is one talented (and sweet) lady and a hard act to follow.

Whenever I plan a seasonal tablescape, I look for something to inspire the theme. Can you guess what my inspiration was for my spring Easter table? Rabbits of course! I spotted the rabbit beverage pitcher at HomeGoods and immediately knew I wanted to use it as a flower vase. #unexpecteddecor

Once I had the pitcher home, my color palette of green, pink and white fell into place and I went on the hunt for a green and white table runner. #fail.

After searching a few stores without any luck, I decided to make my own using inexpensive cotton fabric. The fabric is a soft green color with an all-over white lattice pattern. It’s exactly the design I wanted for my tablescape. Once I cut the fabric to size I used iron-on hem tape to finish the edges and had my runner done in about 10 minutes. And it cost me less than $10 to make the runner and 6 napkins. #score

Flowers are always part of any tablescape I create so I surrounded the bunny pitcher with a mix of floral styles and colors. I combined hot pink orchids, white anemone, green hydrangea and pink peonies. The flowers are cascaded down the center of the table and add so much dimension to the centerpiece. Once I had the flowers in place, I tucked a few ceramic bunnies amongst the flowers to bring my Easter theme to life.

I opted not to use traditional placards on my table and instead did some hand-lettering on ombre tags I picked up at Michaels.

Did you notice the floral placemats under each place setting? Well it’s actually scrapbook paper I had in my craft stash. Scrapbook paper is the perfect size for a placemat and the floral pattern and colors worked great with my table decor.

Whenever you build a tablescape you should create layers with your decor. I used the mini cake stands to add height and placed a small dip bowl on top filled with chocolate eggs for added color.

The white dinner plates are my mom and dad’s wedding china and I love the pretty etched floral design around the edge. It coordinates perfectly with my paper placemats. The black and white place plates are from C. Wonder which is no longer in business. #imissthatstore

And if you hadn’t already guessed it, all the flowers except the tulips are silk.

Now that I’ve created my Easter table, I’m pretty sure the Easter bunny will be dropping off an Easter basket at my front door.

I hope my Spring Thyme tablescape has inspired you to add a little spring happy around your house. For more spring cheer, hop (no pun intended) over to Totally Tailgates and check out Heather’s spring inspiration.

This Is How I Do Easter Baskets

March 25, 2015

Growing up my mom would make Easter baskets for me and my brother. She went to great lengths to create those baskets and would always make them more than a basket full of candy. It wasn’t unusual for me to find slippers or crafting supplies in my basket and my brother to find socks or drum sticks. Every year the baskets felt special and unique, and they always brought smiles to our faces.

Eclectic Spring Tablescape

April 19, 2014

Happy Saturday!

It’s kind of a lazy day around my parts. I’m still getting caught up on laundry from my trip and working on setting up new items in my Etsy shop. Yesterday I was going to share a simple and eclectic tablescape I pulled together to celebrate spring and Easter but the day was gloomy and getting a decent picture was not in the cards. The sky today is still dreary but I was able to capture a few shots of the table.

I love to style tabletops and during the spring and summer eclectic and colorful is my style of choice.

For this spring centerpiece I used a collection of vintage and new pieces I had around the house.

The tulips and round greenery sphere are placed in a vintage trophy urns and a two large mercury glass balls are displayed under a glass cloche I picked up at a sample sale.

For the place setting I used black and white striped placemats from Ikea and a mix of plates from Target and HomeGoods. I made the polka dot napkins.

To add a pop of color, I filled a twig birds nest with colorful felt balls. The brass bird-cage adds to the eclectic mix.

We’re not doing anything major for Easter brunch but I will be adding a special Easter touch to the table tomorrow. I’ll pop in tomorrow and share it with you.

Easy and Stylish Last Minute Easter Decor Ideas

April 17, 2014

Hello there! I’m back from my trip to DC and getting back in the swing of work and blogging. My trip was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to share the photos with you. While I’m sorting through photos and doing laundry, I thought I’d bring you a few quick and easy Easter décor ideas since the big day is this Sunday.

I don’t do much decorating for Easter but I do like to have a touch of the holiday on my dining table. Ideas like these are super easy and quick to pull together and will definitely welcome Easter morning in style.

Paint, stickers or a little decoupage work and you can create a fun assortment of designer Easter eggs. I love the idea of creating a mix that matches your décor and not a traditional mix of pastels.

Blue and White Eggs

If you’re hosting Easter breakfast or dinner, this is an easy way to decorate the table. Use your paper shredder to create a bundle of paper that can be formed into the shape of a nest and then add a letter sticker to the outside of a plastic Easter egg. Cute and simple.

Monogram Egg

Looking for an Easter centerpiece idea? How about combining glass candlesticks, paper flowers and plastic eggs to create these cute Easter egg flowers.

Tip: If you don’t already own clear glass candlesticks, head to Dollar General where you’ll find different styles and sizes.

Easter Egg Flowers

I started collecting mis-matched egg cups and thing this would be a really great way to put them to use. Use decorative craft scissors to scallop the edge of cupcake liners to get the look of flower petals.

Candy Filled Egg Cups

Flowers are a must for Easter and the simple addition of plastic eggs to line the vase or container will turn your stems into a pretty Easter arrangement. What’s also great about this is that come Monday all you have to do is remove the eggs and enjoy the flowers for the rest of the week.
