Easy Easter Table Decoration Ideas

Looking for some last-minute Easter table setting ideas? Here's a few of my favorites from around the web. Gather your silver, crystal and a pretty napkin along with some wheat grass from the grocery or nursery for this idea. The pale pink-beige color of those eggs is so pretty.

If you'd like to add a touch of whimsy to your table, try this simple bunny shaped napkin folding idea. Plain white or pastel napkins would work well.

If you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can entertain outdoors, here's some gorgeous inspiration. I could actually see some of these ideas used for other occasions as well. Birthday parties, baby showers could make use of the color palettes here. A few yards of fabric ripped in strips and tied to the chairs make this table a standout. I bet they're even prettier blowing in a mild breeze!

Silver Tray Centerpiece for Spring {At Last}

I went to the flea market last weekend with a list. Actually, this list is one I continue to refer to in antique and thrift stores as well. One of the things on the list was a large rectangular silver plate platter with handles and feet. The handles and feet part were important to me, I like the detail they offer. 

 

I have seen big trays before but either the form wasn't what I was looking for, they were missing the details I was looking for or they were priced too high. The luck of the flea market was with me as I did find a tray at a great price.

As I was deciding where to use it I brought out all my other trays and set them aside. I kind of liked that stacked and layered look! The trays used together were much more interesting for a centerpiece than the single tray alone. Not to mention that it's nice to free up the cabinet I was storing them in!

I added some blue eggs I had found at Home Goods last year and some dried moss from Michaels. I had some green moss too, but I liked the way that the gray moss lets the eggs be the star; acting as a neutral backdrop between the bright eggs and shiny silver trays.

 

Best of all, the stacked trays can work with lots of seasonal elements, candy or trinkets to change it up throughout the year.

The newest addition to my silver collection has found its spring home--front and center on the dining table all dressed up for spring.

Now I can concentrate on the other items on my "to find" list. Crystal chandeliers, champagne coolers benches and armoires are some of the items that always catch my eye. And vintage luggage. Can you ever have too many pieces of vintage luggage? 

When I initially began shopping at flea markets and antique shops I was always buying smaller things. Now I find myself confident enough in my style to look for the larger pieces. I also have the knowledge to know a good price when I see it and concentrate on quality as well. 

I'm so glad the weather is warming up--all the better for flea market season! What items are on your list? Do share!

Pottery Barn {My Spring Wish List}

Pottery Barn is one of my favorite shops to visit for decorating inspiration. Their products have a bit of a vintage vibe, but would also be at home mixed with many other decorating styles as well. Here's my spring wishlist...

Why not start out with something big... it's only a wishlist after all. This mirror is one of those pieces that would look perfect in many different rooms. It would be perfect in my living room. 

This pretty cut-glass apothecary jar would be pretty enough empty or filled with standard fare. I love it's unique cut but also the inspiration here. Filling any of these pretty jars you may already own with a bit of water and a real or silk bloom is a beautiful spring accessory. I love finding new ways to use the things I have.

 

Mercury glass is always a favorite, and now PB has merged the vintage bulb shape with Easter pastel mercury glass. Wouldn't these look gorgeous hanging from a bare-branched tree? 

I'm a huge fan of vintage mirrors. Though these mirrors are modern, they have all the beautiful elements of a fabulous vintage find. The beautiful bevel cut and the variety of shapes is perfect. Let's just call this next photo "instant collection!"

This list could of course go on and on... there is so many fabulous products at this store. It's definitely worth a seasonal visit, if only for the inspiration it provides for your own creations!

I'm the Luckiest Girl at the Vintage Easter Tag Swap & Share the Love Link Party #11!

Easter blessings were definitely sent my way by Patti, my partner for an Easter tag swap I participated in! The swap was hosted by Sandy at 521 Lake Street.

Wrapped in two vintage embroidered tea towels were these fabulous little cards...

Sweet vintage Easter illustrations cut out delicately and layered upon a pretty combination of scrapbook papers...

...layered with ribbon and trims, and touches of glitter {love glitter}. I can tell that each little detail was chosen with care, enhancing the beauty of the original illustration.

 She used punches to craft some of her accents, I recognize the little bird covered in glitter and flowers as punched shapes.

Each one is truly a work of art and I will treasure them always. I was thinking of how I could clip them to the vintage window frame that's on my mantel, or perhaps make a garland banner out of them.

Right now they're displayed like pretty candies in a tiered serving dish. I showed them off at Easter and have picked them up each day to admire their beauty and Patti's artistry.

She also included this beautiful card that is hanging on my bulletin board in my office...

I must be the luckiest girl at the swap! Don't you agree? Stop by Patti's blog at http://paintinpatti.typepad.com/ and see all of her beautiful creations!

Thanks so much to everyone who linked up last week. I'm going to highlight last week's link later in the week since this post is sooooo long! Okay, let's get this week's party started! A few reminders...

Easter Decor on Clearance! {Couldn't Resist}

Check out these Easter goodies on sale at JoAnn Fabrics for 70% off! A pretty pastel door wreath...

A sweet chick and egg sprinkled with glitter {love glitter} that ended up being $1.49 on clearance! I'm wondering what other pieces they may have had earlier in the season that went with this collection.

This last find has nothing to do with Easter, but they were a great price and on my way to the checkout line I passed their dollar section featuring some great colors of glitter glue--I really like the turquoise.

I like to find holiday decorations on clearance at the end of a season. Besides the great prices, I have just had all my other Easter decorations {you can see them by clicking here} out and know what I might like for the next year and what I don't need.

Vintage Lamb for Easter & Every Day

I found this lamb at an antique mall in southern Wisconsin. I wasn't looking for anything special, but when I saw his cute little face, I picked him up.

 

It's a little bank, complete with stopper. It looks like a souvenir of sorts from the Shepherds Ministries in Union Grove, Wisconsin. It's a little cracked & crazed in the finish.

I think he's perfect for Easter and cute enough to have out every day.

Vintage Bunnies & Ducks {Images}

Although this group of vintage cards isn't specifically themed Easter, they each feature familiar spring characters; a bunny and a cute duck.

I'll post the original of each, but I've also removed the wording on them in case you want to add your own text for crafting.

Enjoy!
