Whimsical Easter Table

I have no idea how Easter and bunnies got together - or how baskets of candy and hard boiled eggs fit in.  But I love Easter and can't wait to bring out my collection of "rabbits." Pat set this week's table using a very old ceramic bunny that I made over 40 years ago....

Flatware is "Silver Tear" by Gourmet Settings

Love this face

Pat made this delicate porcelain egg while I made the big, goofy ceramic bunny - you would never guess we were sisters....

222 Fifth Adelaide Table

Pat decided to set a simple, fun table this week. Since one of her favorite dinnerware makers is 222 Fifth (PTS), it was an easy decision to pick the dishes when she saw "Adelaide Turquoise" in the cupboard.

Pat used no-frills "Everyday" flatware by Reed & Barton

I couldn't believe it when Pat found this napkin in our "supply" - it is a perfect match

I always love it when we get a chance to use these porcelain birds - they were our Mother's
