BUNNY LOVE ON EASTER SUNDAY

Do you find yourself preparing the same menu for certain occasions? On Easter Sunday, my family wants the same stuff year after year! That's okay 'cuz I like my traditional menu also:)

Today I'm joining the fabulous hostess Miss Marty over at AStrollThruLife for Tabletop Tuesday. My 'Bunny Trail to Easter' is coming to the end:(. Here's my Easter tablescape...the same as last year and the year before. I just love this china pattern 'cuz it goes so well with my 'Pastoral Sage'-covered dining chairs from Ethan Allen.

Bon Appetit! Here's my Easter Sunday menu, containing a lot of my family favs...

Monsieur Rabbit says, "It's Time Y'all!"

A little springtime embellishment to the table...

Little Majolica lovebirds...

These green moss charger plates are from a fabulous store in Collierville, Tennessee--The First Fruit Collection. Actually, I believe the 'Bunny Toile' plates, by J. Wilfred are also from the same store. Love these. Just love them!

This pattern could not be any cuter and is just perfect for Miss Janice!

Pink napkins with a springtime ribbon as napkin rings...placed in the proper position for an Informal Lunch...
Coordinating 'Bunny Toile' covered candy dishes with Jelly Belly beans...

Thank you for visiting with me today. Don't forget to hop over to Marty's for more Tabletop Pretties!

Have a blessed Easter:)

BUNNY LOVE ON THE DINING ROOM SIDEBOARD

I'm joining on the fun with Miss Marty over at AStrollThruLife . She is hosting her fabulous TabletopTuesday and since I'm on the 'Bunny Trail to Easter Sunday', I'm featuring a sideboard in my dining room.

Iced cold pink lemonade or hot tea with jelly beans and macaroons??? Absolutely!
Pink lemonade just says "Springtime is here!"

Hot tea, is being served from this darling majolica teapot with a cute little bunny-motif. I found this precious teapot at HomeGoods.

Pink lemonade and hot tea...Mama gave me the green goblets and the majolica mugs are from one of my all-time favorite stores--First Fruit Collection, on the square in Collierville, Tennessee.

This cute ceramic bunny is from HomeGoods and is sitting on top of a majolica bunny platter, also from Homegoods...Macaroons and Peeps being served y'all!

This little bunny's carrot tail is holding jelly beans...he's also from HomeGoods.

Love the majolica bunny and carrot motif dessert plates...from HomeGoods, of course!

Y'all know I had to use some green gingham napkins!

Embellishing the buffet lamps with these awesome sage green harlequin tassels...

So thank you for visiting with me today and don't forget to check out all the other tabletops over at Marty's Tabletop Party!

BUNNY LOVE ON THE KITCHEN SIDEBOARD

When I started planning an Easter-scape for my kitchen sideboard, I knew I didn't want to use the traditional pastel Easter colors. I wanted to to use black! Are you gasping??? I pulled some of my black bunnies from other spots and went from there...

There are so many symbols of Easter and Springtime that we use today. Rabbits, eggs, and chicks are the symbols I chose. The rabbit is a symbol of Spring and fertility; the egg is said to be a symbol of new life and fertility and also a symbol of Jesus emerging from the rock-covered tomb; and the chick...represents new life or rebirth. Okay, so then there's the 'Coconut Cupcake'! Well, if there are coconut cupcakes at my house, it must be Easter!!!
I went to my extravagant baking center at "The Roost" {with my cute little rolling pin and Paula Deen measuring spoons} and tried to come up with a fancy Easter dessert...

Tradition is such a big part of my life...especially when I entertain! So, the house-fav Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Cupcake won out once again!

Here's a bunny rabbit surrounded by my fav cupcake, embellished with Martha Stewart's Easter picks...oh so cute!

Eggs, baby chicks, and daffodils...all symbols of the Easter season.

Good Lord, this bunny looks scary! He might be one of my Halloween bunnies....Lord Have Mercy, I promise y'all he looks cuter in person:)

Baby chicks...they just melt my heart!

The coconut cupcakes are wonderful...they are filled with coconut and topped with scrumpcious coconut icing!

Tuplips...one of my very favorite flowers!

This little rabbit is caged...po 'ole thing!

Thank you so much for visiting with me today.

Don't forget to hop over and visit Marty, the fabulous hostess for Tabletop Tuesday. Her site will be full of gorgeous tabletops from blogland! Thank you for hosting this fun event Miss Marty:)

Waverly La Petite Ferme Spice--I LOVE YOU!

Hey y'all! I'm joing Marty over at AStrollThruLife for Tabletop Tuesday! Actually, it's my first time at this party, and I'm afraid my tabletop is a bit lame. I promise to better next time:)

This is our breakfast table...on a normal day. I guess these pictures are more about the fabric I'm using in the kitchen now. I was using a black fabric with gold fleur de lis from Ballard Designs, but I switched it all up for 'La Petite Ferme Spice', by Waverly.

Here's the breakfast table with the placemats and coordinating gingham napkins...not to forget the rooster plate rack and napkin rings, of course!

May I say how much I adore this fabric? Roosters and toile and gingham...I simply cannot stand the cuteness!

The valance has gingham tabs and the door shade has burgundy grosgrain ribbon to tie it up!

I probably have posted a photo of the oven mitts before, aren't they the cutest? {Probably more appropriate for Oven Top Tuesday}
And, the coordinating gingham runner on my island...

Thank you for visiting with me today, now hop over to Marty's site for Table Top Tuesday!

SAINTSATION!

Who Dat? I've definitely got the Saint Fever! Yes y'all, we are Saints fans! Looking forward to the game...hoping the Saints win! Of course, I'll be watching the cheerleaders...the Saintsations. Oooooh, I'd just love to be one of those young girls today. {Love their uniforms--with the fleur de lis}

Served "husband" a Super Bowl warm-up lunch...Sliders, wings, and fries--with beer, of course!
{A little etiquette tip to remember at your Super Bowl gathering...Use the three- finger rule when picking up food with the fingers. Use your thumb, index finger, and middle finger}


For dessert, I stuck with one of our favs, red velvet cupcakes--embellished with a football!


So now we're off to enjoy the game with friends...GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
