I am like the rest of you in that I love to create. I
like to try and create something different from what I have done
in previous decor, or decorations for special holidays like Easter.
I thought I would review what I have done in
the past five years in order to make sure I do something a wee bit
different for this years Easter table.
This
was the centerpiece. Fresh spring green grass, real gerbera daisies and
white roses. One more special little element that any good spring
arrangement needs, sweet little porcelain birds.
The next year I chose to do a whimsical
forest scene. I wanted the bunny to look like a huge chocolate bunny. I
chose little chicks, mushrooms and clay pots full of chocolate
eggs…………..
Bright pink, bright yellow and white were my color scheme for this year.
I chose to use things from my garden by using rocks, moss and real flowers from the garden.
The next year's table started with an inspiration from Anthropologie…….
I started with this darling ceramic robin egg blue egg holder, which I can use in my refrigerator after Easter to hold my eggs.
I already had the striped quilt that I used
as a table cloth and I had the bright yellow plates from the year
before. So it was settled, bright yellow and blue it will be.
Next I needed to decide what elements would
work with this color scheme. First came the obvious, eggs, some kind of
yellow and white flowers, and for greenery some wheat grass.
Yes, that will work just fine. Here is the table setting I did ..........
Daffodils, Daisies and Moss!!
I have used an all white, a bright yellow and
bright pink color scheme. Then I used bright yellow and robin’s egg
blue as my color scheme for Easter.
This years table was very bright sunflower yellow and green. I chose to use galvanized metal containers to hold moss and little yellow button flowers and white daisies.
Last year I went for a much softer look. I chose an ice blue table cloth and all white tulips and dishes.
This years Easter table will be different from all of the above. I am going to use ice pink and white.
I love this time of year and I always get exctied when I start seeing the fresh Spring green grass and all of the pink and white blossoms on the trees.
Have fun finding your own inspiration for your Easter table.

I love Easter too, Kathysue! Have certainly enjoyed this post. You just create some of the pretties tables.
Have a wonderful weekend.

You are so talented...you have created so many beautiful things. This year you will have your living room all done to...Easter is going to be beautiful at your house...
Kathy Sue, what fun to look back and see how different each one of your Easter tables were set. Each one is gorgeous. I adore white tulips, so I think the last one is my favorite. White tulips, white roses, and white hydrangeas are what I have in our home for Easter. Thanks for reaching back into your files to share these images with us. Happy Spring! ~ Sarah
Do you never stop thinking creatively? I just don't think its possible. How you keep coming up with such beautiful tablescapes year after year is beyond me. But I love the pictorial history and thanks so much for sharing. Can't wait to see this years.
Hey there, Kathysue! Or should it be Martha? :) You certainly get the award for most creative and fabulous Easter centerpieces. I hope it's okay for me to pick a favorite. Gotta be the whimsical forest scene! Brilliant!! What a treat to be a guest at your Easter brunch / dinner :)

Kathysue,
I am so glad you stopped by my blog! Your tables are really gorgeous. I think my favorite though is the one with the white tulips. You have given me inspiration to get off my butt and get it together this Easter!
Happy Spring!!

Wow that's incredible. You go to so much trouble. We don't really make so much effort here in Oz like you do in the US, shame really because I'd love to make up an Easter lunch table as gorgeous as yours. I love the first one, with the grass and all the bunnies.

All your tables are beautiful Kathysue, love them all. I fell in love with that same yellow chevron fabric and made a runner for my kitchen island [posting tomorrow] and a slipcover [posting Thursday] !! I bought it in green too and made pillows for the den. I love color, so I loved all the bright elements in your tables! Happy Easter!

They are all so beautiful and so unique. I absolutely adore that garden one. It is so creative and makes me feel like you created a mini garden down the middle of the table. I"m looking forward to seeing your new one.
