ON THE BUNNY TRAIL TO EASTER
Every year I have a hard time putting away this setting...it's one of favorites! The 'Bunny Toile' dinnerware is by J. Wilfred and was purchased in a darling store--First Fruit Collection, in Collierville, Tennessee. The moss chargers also came from the same store. Check out Lisa's blog, Your Home Can Be Happy. It's full of great decorating ideas and gorgeous photos! In face, I think I'll go Tweet about her right now!
I totally LOVE this 'Bunny Toile' pattern!
The centerpiece...Monsieur Rabbit. It's Bunny Time y'all!!!
A little springtime embellishment for the table...
Domed butter dish...{this piece will be featured in my next blog post this week--"Bread and Butter Etiquette".
Sweet little Bunny Toile covered candy dish at each setting...full of jelly beans!
The Secretary is the perfect spot for my "April Friendship Gifts".
The sideboard is set for tea and carrot cake...
I had a custom floral piece hanging above the sideboard, but thought the moss-covered initial 'G' hung with a green toile ribbon looked a little more Springtime-ish.
I found this darling little bunny candy tray at HomeGoods...Thank you to the sweet people at HomeGoods for remembering me!!! I added the pink tulips, which are perfect for Springtime...in a pretty Waterford vase.
The carrot cake {from Honeybaked Ham and it's delish y'all} is the perfect dessert to top off the bunny-motif majolica cake plate...from HomeGoods.
This is another darling bunny tray I found at HomeGoods...
Well, that's the dining room y'all! I'll be back in a couple of days to talk about Bread & Butter Etiquette...Yes ma'am, there is proper etiquette to be followed when eating bread! Monday, April 6, 2009
Bunny Toile Tablescape

Let's take a look...The china is Bunny Toile, by J. Willfred and the teapot, sugar bowl and creamer is the Green Leaf pattern and also by J. Willfred. The green moss charger plates were purchased at one of my favorite stores in Collierville, Tennessee--The Fresh Fruit Collection.
Easter Sunday lunch tablescape...

Easter Sunday lunch place setting...

Bunny-fied centerpiece and menu...

Most Southerners celebrate Easter Sunday with an informal lunch, served family or plated-style at the dining room table. I will be serving my lunch at the dining room table, plated-style. (In family-style service, the dishes of food are placed on the table and passed around to each guest. In the plated-style service, the host/hostess places the food on the plates in the kitchen and serves each guest from the left-hand side, beginning with the guest of honor and continuing counterclockwise, serving him/herself last).
Honeybaked Ham
Macaroni and Cheese
Asparagus Casserole
Deviled Eggs*
Croissants
Sweet Southern Iced Tea
~
Coconut Cupcakes, Coffee, and Tea
*The deviled eggs are a Paula Deen recipe for Traditional Southern Eggs:
(Makes 12 eggs)
6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
Salt & pepper
Paprika
Sweet gherkin pickles, sliced
Pimientos
Halve eggs lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a small bowl. Mash yolks with a fork and stir in mayonnaise, pickled relish, and mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fill egg whites evenly with yolk mixture. Garnish with paprika, pickles, and pimientos. Store covered in refrigerator.
Paula Deen's "Traditional Southern Deviled Eggs", served on my Arthur Court deviled egg tray. All Southern ladies have a fancy deviled egg plate...we wouldn't be caught dead without one. We have the de rigueure to-go deviled egg plates, as well! We just have to.
Dessert and tea will be served from the sideboard..."Coconut Cupcakes, Tea, and Tulips...


The party favors for Easter Sunday double as place cards. These are Martha Stewart cute little pink boxes, filled with green Easter grass and jelly beans (the good kind--from The Fresh Market).
Coconut cupcakes are another take-home gift placed on green shred inside a pink take-out box, adorned with a pink polka dot ribbon.
I am also linking this post to the "Spring Fling Event" at The Decorating Voice. Please visit the lovely site for awesome decorating ideas!

Thank you so much for stopping by today...I hope y'all have a wonderful Easter and remember to Make it Southern...Make it Memorable.
