Easter Tables & Projects

You guys are amazing…thank you so much for all the kind words for my Otomi Table. It’s true, I have taken her on as a sister wife. And I can’t wait to add more of the fabulous pattern around the house. But today I have projects-fails on the brain. Specifically, this centerpiece that wasn’t meant to be. I’d envisioned the bowl full of dark green grass, with colorful eggs nestled in with other Easter paraphernalia. But after two full weeks, not a single blade of grass has emerged. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is hosting the family this year, so I don’t need a Plan B, but if I did, I’d likely recreate something from our past Easter Tablescapes.

This bowl of bright flowers and Peeps was my favorite centerpiece. I wish they sold Peeps individually though, so you didn’t have to rip the little chicks apart.

Here’s another option with Peeps. Clearly Peeps and Easter go hand-in-hand for me.

Placecards are always my favorite part of creating Tablescapes, and these were easy to put together using treat boxes from the Dollar Store.

A little glitter on a plastic egg was all I used for these.

Our backyard Magnolia tree has been the source for many projects around here (starting with this wreath), and these DIY Fresh Chargers were a big hit, too.

Babygirl’s birthday is this weekend, so we’re in party planning mode now. But here is a bit more Easter inspiration for you.

  14. I love Peeps! I get a couple of packages as soon as they are available, open them and let them get stale. They are chewier and soooo good. I have two packages on the fireplace mantel getting ready for me to enjoy right now. Have to admit, that I ate a couple of individual ones right away……
