Spring Easter Tablescapes Vintage Linens

Easter Tablescape 2013

Easter TablescapeWhen 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. Easter Tablescape from On Sutton PlaceThis 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. Easter Tablescape from On Sutton PlaceI 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.

Anything looks better in a blue Ball jar. Easter Tablescape from On Sutton PlaceI 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. https://www.etsy.com/shop/SundayBrocantesThe 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. Spring Tablescape from On Sutton PlaceI threw in a little bling with my silver candlesticks and hurricanes.

Spring Tablescape from On Sutton PlaceI’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. Spring Tablescape from On Sutton Place

Thoughts from my friends...

  3. 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!

  9. 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!

  11. 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?

  12. 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

  15. 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.

  22. Your table is beautiful, fresh and inviting. I love the centerpieces in the bottles, soo pretty! Your linen from your Fil is lovely, as is your dinner ware. Happy St. Pat’s week.

  26. 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!

  35. 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.

  37. 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!

  41. 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!

  43. 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.

  49. 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!

  50. 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.

  51. 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!

  52. 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 !!!
