We're having friends over Friday night so I decided to set a Spring tablescape in honor of Easter coming up. Thanks to Susan's "Tablescape Thursday" at betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ for the opportunity to share. I've set the table with the china I received as wedding gifts when I married 36 years ago called Agincourt by Wedgewood. I still love it just like I did at 21!
The centerpiece is simply forsythia stems, cut from a bush in my front yard, in a vase placed on a silver tray covered in green moss. Pastel taper candles are secured in little glass bunnies from Williams Sonoma.
Shown in the photo above, I placed votive candle holders on top of crystal candle posts with glue dots, filled them with jelly beans that look like bird eggs and put a votive candle in the center.
For placecards, I printed my guests names on white paper and glued to mint green cardstock, leaned them against Easter eggs that I've filled with chocolate for my guests to take home.
There - Now all I have to do is cook the food! :)

What a beautiful tablescape. Your china is gorgeous. Now I love the idea of the eggs filled with chocolate and the little jelly beans as tiny easter eggs. Very clever. Hugs, Marty
