EASTER PARADE~TBT

MARCH 2016

THROW BACK THURSDAY

My Granddaughters are now 16 years old in April and fourteen years old.

We are planning to have Easter dinner with our daughter, friend and granddaughters this Sunday and I wanted to share with you the wonderful time we had some years ago.

Hi everyone, 

How's your Easter plans going? My weekend is going to be pretty low key. Sweetheart and I are having our daughter and two granddaughters over for brunch on Easter Sunday.  
 My 11 year old granddaughter printed the letters on my new chalk board tray. I love the way she prints. 

Happy Easter! 

  The other day I found an old silver plate tray I wasn't using, and decided to  paint it with some amazing chalkboard paint.  I love to play with paint and this is such a cute idea. 

While shopping for our brunch I picked up a beautiful lily. I wrapped it in some burlap I had on hand and tied a bow with a pink gingham ribbon.

 I love the rustic look the burlap gives the tablescape with the pink...gingham ribbons. 

The baskets with candy are ready to be eaten, and the pink lemonade in my Italian bottles all ready to have a refreshing  drink and a light brunch.

And the jar of colored eggs are so festive and spring like.

Yum! Candy! I love Chocolate. Can you tell?

The everyday flatware is wrapped in linen napkins with more pink gingham ribbon.

I'm serving brunch on vintage snack serving sets. The wonderful sets have been with me since the early 60's.  I used the delightful sets for many bridal and baby showers, and I have such fond memories of those days gone by. 

*Life is good today*

Easter Tea

Hello everyone,

Easter Sunday is seven days away and I wanted to share with you my

Easter Tea, decorated Easter tree and a couple of 

new vintage tea cups and saucers.  

Last year after the Easter holiday, I found these bunny 

plates at Barnes and Noble on clearance. I have

been saving them to use this year for my Easter tea time.

The little Easter ornaments came from Tuesday Morning

last year also. The Easter tree with the cute butterfly

I bought at the thrift shop for $4.00 dollars. 

Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit 

accompany

Miss Bunny Radish

and 

Mr. Bunny Carrot

for some Easter tea.

I have been saving this tea pot to share with you also.

I call this tea pot 'No Name' because it has no name on

the bottom of the pot.

'Victoriana Rose'~Paragon

'Petit Point'~ Royal Albert 

'Country Lane' ~ Royal Standard  

'Windsor Rose' ~ Princess House 

Group photo...LOL

A mosaic to pin

Thank you for visiting me and leaving the beautiful comments.

I am so grateful that Spring has arrived. I have been outside

enjoying the fresh air and planting some new roses.

Joyously,

Betty

The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday

*Easter Parade*

Hello Everyone,

Brunch is served.  An unhurried and elegant spring brunch is one of the true pleasures of this time of year at 

My Cozy Corner. 

Although the occasion calls for fine china, the mood is light and informal. Playful icons of the season-bunnies, eggs and candy are among the place settings.  

A grass centerpiece captures the thrill of the egg hunt in miniature. 

The spring table is a cheerful mix of contrasts and embellishments. 

My new bunnies from TM have hopped from the living room to the dining room.  First on the Mantel for the Mantelscape party, then to the Coffee table and now to our Easter Table 

 My motto is

 "The value of a Dollar" 

and thrift is my game.

Lots of eggs to hunt. If it rains we can hunt for Easter eggs in the house. LOL!!!

This tablescape is a very Thrifty Tablescape.

I bought the pink flowered salad plates at our church yard sale last year.    

'Pink Perfection' camellia tree is still blooming, but the rain has discolored so many blooms I found just enough flowers to make the two bouquets for the table.

The clear plates are from a yard sale a few years ago. (.10 cents each x 12) what a deal.

White paper dollies from Michael's craft store and another DT clear plate underneath.

Cute clear tea cup and saucer called 'Fairmont' exclusively designed for Bella and produced by SOGA Japan.

I bought a box of six at TM for $2.49 and I have some fun ideas for these cups this summer under my new pergola.

This morning my sweetheart and went outside and to the end of our property and dug up the grass in the Easter basket. I didn't want to ruin my garden box, so I lined it with clear plastic wrap and one square shovel of grass fit into the box perfectly.

Candy is always welcome at Easter.  

Candy Eggs for the girls (granddaughters) this Sunday.

'Pink Debutante' camellia is very slow to bloom and the rain has discolored most of the blooms. But I found a few to add to the bouquets.

The handmade napkin ring is just a piece of extra ribbon I had and I bought the bunnies at Michael's craft store.  I love bunnies...

A brand new Goodwill Store opened last week and I found these vintage glasses for .49 cents each.

Wishing you a Glorious Easter. 

I will be joining some parties for the next few days 

and I have a dessert to share with you in my next post.
