When the girls from Uncommon Designs asked me to join their Easter Tablescape series, honestly I was a little surprised. I’m not exactly the trusted expert on setting the table (as we called it back in the day.) Don’t get me wrong…I have set plenty of tables in my life. As the only daughter in a family of 6, that was my daily job. 
This is just a bit different and loads more fun! My starting point was a set of white linen napkins that were given to me when we closed my Father-In-Law’s house. 
I am totally in love with them. There is a matching tablecloth that I opted not to use but it’s equally as beautiful. These are hand embroidered with scalloped edges that make my heart flutter. 
Next came blue Ball jars. I had to settle for a bunch of flowers from the grocery store which I wasn’t thrilled with but they ended up being OK. Anything looks better in a blue Ball jar. 
I wanted to use these torchons I ordered from an Etsy shop called Sunday Brocantes. The torchons, or tea towels, were too big to be place mats so I sewed two together to make a small table runner. Running them width-wise worked great since my table is set for four. 
The plate layers just happened. I had the wicker napkin rings and found the matching chargers at Pier 1. White plates from Walmart are topped with blue dessert plates from Target. It’s all topped off with petite Easter baskets filled with eggs. I added the same etched glasses I used at Thanksgiving. Nothing is expensive but it all looks fresh and somehow works. 
I threw in a little bling with my silver candlesticks and hurricanes. 
A round loaf of bread on a vintage bread board lends a little authenticity and I just thought it looked nice. 
I’m going to leave my table set for a while with the hope that we will be able to have a family Easter dinner. No one is sure what’s going on yet so time will tell. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Forgot to say that I just had to come back to see it again!!
I pinned your table scape to my board and then had to stop to tell you how I loved it. I just bought those ceramic baskets from my local Vons a few weeks ago and seeing them on your table has gotten me so excited to set them up with my plates and my ball jars too..and I think your flowers look perfect!
Those napkins are lovely! And your tablescape is perfect….to me, it looks realistic. As in, you left room to put some food there ! :)
The linens are just gorgeous, and the silver/ball jar combination is just a great idea.
Ann, your table is just beautiful! I love the soft blue, paired with the white. The napkins are such lovely heirlooms. Very pretty!
Everything looks fresh and spring time..I adore your table setting..and love your chair fabric..very nice..
Ann, This is really pretty! I LOVE your napkins and the shade of blue you chose for the plates, jars, etc. It’s perfect!
It’s so lovely Ann, my favorite part is the blue jars, did you happen to make them? The simple stems are so attractive in the line of jars! Everything looks so springy fresh and inviting!

Ann, you know I love your style, and your table setting is perfection. The crisp whites and soft blues are so pretty.
I am loving those white baskets. Did you find them at Kroger recently?
Gorgeous table! I love the eggs and the flowers in the jars look so great! From a purely third party perspective, I thought the combo of the purple, white and green against the blue jars couldn’t have been done better! That bread is calling my name too.. :D
I love this Ann! The colors are perfect, I think I might need to borrow some of your plates!
So very lovely Ann!! Sweet simplicity!
P.S. It’s been pinned!
Hi Ann, It’s just beautiful! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I sure enjoy playing with table settings from time to time on a rainy afternoon. I just love the colors you’ve used.
Your Easter table is so pretty, Ann. Love the pretty linens, and I appreciate your creativity.
Oh…so very pretty!!
Sooo pretty! You did a fantastic job. So simple but beautiful.

Ann,
Your Easter tablescape is absolutely perfect!
It is so festive and cheerful and springy and cottage-y – adore it, every element.
WELL DONE!!
Oh how I love the colors you’ve used in this tablescape, and the sweet embroidered napkins. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Patti@OldThingsNew
Ann,
You have set a beautiful Easter table. I am coveting your gorgeous vintage napkins! I have been gathering some items for my Easter table, but I do not quite have it together. I love how you’ve used the white and blue dishes together, and those little baskets are just adorable. I hope everyone in your family is able to come for your Easter dinner!
This looks beautiful! I’m with you on the Ball jars. Everything does look better in them! They look great with your plates too!
It is lovely! I think it’s so funny, that we did used to call it setting the table. ;)
You did a wonderful job “setting the table.” I love the little white baskets…too cute!
So pretty, fresh, and springy. Makes it harder to look out the window at the snow flurries.
This table is beautiful. I love the little baskets.
Cynthia
Love your table, Ann, especially its freshness and simplicity. I have been meaning to purchase those chargers for so long. Going on my weekend list. :)
XOXO’s
How fun Ann! It’s beautiful. I keep thinking I should do a tablescape to share on my blog. If we get some sunshine soon I may just spend a few hours doing that!
Gorgeous & simple, in my favorite colors. Nicely done, Ann!
Just began thinking about my Easter dinner menu. I’m doing a buffet this year. I adore your napkins for your Easter tablescape. I am also using my one and only blue canning jar filled with flowers for my table. Thank you for this idea.
Ann, It is so very, very pretty. I love the whole setting and especially those darling napkins. Your choices of color and layering are wonderful. Love it- xo Diana
Beautiful Ann! I love the aqua and white touches with the natural rattan woven chargers and napkin rings. The napkins are sweet. The little baskets of eggs are adorable! Very nicely done!
It’s absolutely beautiful, Ann! Love those baskets with the eggs…too sweet!
Beautiful table setting! Love the vintage napkins. I also agree with you that “anything looks better in a blue Ball jar.”
Absolutely stunningly beautiful! I adore everything on this table. Where did you get your dishes?? Want them!!
Amazingly simple and beautiful all at the same time! You have such an artist’s touch! Your attention to detail really stands out because you kept it so clean and simple. What a sweet touch to use aqua jars as vases.
As everything you do… just lovely!
I love it, the wicker chargers with the white and blue look amazing and i’m snitching the blue green bell jar idea, I have one just perfect for this!
Ann, Your table couldn’t look any more beautiful than it is!! LOVE the colors you chose. The napkins, your inspiration point, are just exquisite. Everything is perfect for an Easter dinner with the family.

I love your Easter table. The colors are amazing!
Hi Ann. This is my first time at your blog (so nice) and I only have one question for you. What time is Easter dinner? Beautiful table!
So beautiful Ann! I adore the blue, white and brown color combination and I am coveting those placemats! Our Easter Tablescape week has definitely started with a high bar! :)

I love the soft blue color mixed with white on your table. The blue jars filled with flowers is my favorite part on your table.
Beautiful table Ann. Love all the blue, so Springy too!
Ann, your tablescape is simply beautiful. I love the blue ball jars with the blue dessert plates and the beautiful napkins. It looks effortless, spring-y, and so lovely. I think I may have to use your idea of the blue ball jars on the table for our Easter dinner!
Oh Ann, I love how simple your table is. It is truly beautiful. The color of those blue plates from Target is perfect!!! So beautiful! I hope you get to host a family Easter. It’ll be here before we know it won’t it? Have a good day, Ann.
Ann, it is all so beautiful. The baskets filled with eggs are perfect atop the dinner plates, and you can never go wrong with a blue canning jar filled with fresh flowers:) Love the whole look!
I have a question Anne . When having your dinner with your setting do you remove the chargers? We went to a fancy restaurant and when we sat down they removed chargers and dishes !!!
So pretty and natural : )
Ann, this is the most beautiful Spring tablescape I have ever seen! Every detail is just gorgeous! Great inspiration!
Ann, this is so pretty. Love those napkins and great idea sewing the others from Cat together. I can’t wait to meet her in France.
Ann… it is just beautiful! Thank you so much for being a part of this series. You are such a sweetheart and your talent is just limitless!
Take care,
Trish
Love your Easter table! Beautiful :)
