Spring Table Decor

One of my favorite things to do it to create beautiful and whimsical tablescapes. 

My kids have the bug too. I usually let them have at our holiday tables.

At the very least, if I chose to remain in control, I do let them add touches.

I did manage to put together this Spring Tablescape by myself.

And I love it...it is perfect for our Easter brunch...

pretty, elegant, but with some fun and whimsical touches

my kids and m y guests will appreciate.

I had a big dilemma here...

I really wanted to go bold and funky -

really put a bright spot in my day -

but while my brain was saying that...

my accessories were saying slightly shabby chic with

a hint of vintage, and a muted {but not boring} color palette...

so I went with it.

{Bold to come next week}

For the underlay I used a simple ivory tablecloth.

It was over sized and draped on the ground {which I LOVE}.

At the thrift store, I discovered this great striped silk shantung fabric.

I cut it down and used it as an overlay.

I draped the sides and added a single flower.

At the same thrift store, just as I was on my way out...

this hand painted tray caught my eye.

I just fell in L-O-V-E over the color combination.

I also thought the beautiful turquoise blue
added a fantastic punch of color.

I just had to use this tray as part of my centerpiece.

Some moss, a gold scroll egg with a little birdie inside,

a handful of blown and coffee-dyed eggs {I made them},

and another vintage ad touting a "Spring Opening,"

made the vignette complete.

 

Have I told you how much I love beans when I decorate?

{Yes, I know I have!}.
I thought the little white beans looked adorable...

but you could also fill the nests with Jelly Belly's!

For each place setting, I printed out a
vintage Spring image from *The Graphics Fairy*,

then added some glass glitter to the edges.
The addition of a little nest brought a touch
of whimsy to the place setting.

  

A bouquet of Spring flowers watched

over my little tray of goodies.

A larger version of the vintage Spring image,

nestled amongst the decor.

The glitter frame went quite nicely with the other details

and my other FAB find..these adorable pink glass candle holders.

LOVE THEM!

A little birdie perched atop the bouquet!

 

I fashioned a rosette out of some extra fabric

{and the frayed edges do not bother me!} 

  

I love my coffee-dyed eggs

{of course I used coffee...I am fueled by caffeine}

A view of the "complete" centerpiece.

So, that is what the birdie left on my table. 

It definitely left me in a good mood...

anxiously awaiting more blooms, sunny days,

and perhaps a cocktail on the deck.

What are you waiting for Spring to bring you?
