(More) Bunnies, Fiesta(ware) and Carrots Table

Who can resist bunnies? I love them - so Easter is a great time to bring out our collection of sisal and other bunnies and set tables using some of them. (In all honesty, Pat has been known to set bunny tables at all times of the year.....)

The carrot pattern is one of four different plates from the "Vegetable Medley" luncheon plate collection by Franciscan China

Pat tried several Fiesta(ware) dinner plates and finally settled on "Sage"

The scrolls on the charger/placemat reminded Pat of the curves on the handles of the flatware

We found these cute bunnies on a sale rack after Easter at Pier 1 two years ago

Pat filled a glass cylinder with lots of carrots

Colorful Easter Fiestaware Table

Once again, Pat went on a "Fiesta(ware) Frenzy" with this week's table. She drew inspiration from the colorful centerpiece that we found on the extra, extra discount shelf at Pier 1 two years ago. (In fact, we both thought that the Bunny was rather - dare I say it? - ugly, but it was so cheap that Pat decided to get it anyway.) So putting that aside, here is what she came up with:

This table is definitely not for the faint- hearted - lots and lots of bold colors

Pat used Rose, Cinnabar, Lemongrass, Lapis, Daffodil, and Poppy Fiesta(ware). Even the flatware ("Calypso" by Towle) is a fun pattern.

The bright yellow water goblet ("Rio" by Dansk) is the perfect choice

Pat tried several different colored Bread/Butter plates, but she finally settled on "Poppy." The napkin matches the "Lemongrass" luncheon plate.

For additional color, Pat used "Heather" Fiesta(ware) salt and pepper shakers

You can see where the color inspiration came from for the table.......
