I love the colors of spring - outdoors and indoors. The table is set for our spring brunch - we spent easter in WV, visiting our grandson Donnie and his family, so when we got home we had another celebration with our grandsons and their families in Bellingham
The dishes are MacBeth Evans - the yellow silverware is new - and just the right color for a spring brunch
Napkin rings are tiny terra cotta flower pots that I painted last year. The napkins are ones I made for our oldest daughter's wedding in 2001. I made over 200 of them. The guests were able to take home napkins as souvenirs.
A new set of glasses - from the 1950s. They were marked Vintage in the thrift store - and they surely are - and wonderful. The soft colors are perfect for this table setting.
All ready for food. The menu was two kinds of french toast casserole - one stuffed with cream cheese and strawberry jam, one plain - both delicious. Also bacon, sausages, orange juice and fruit salad
Oh - and strawberry/rhubarb cobbler and strawberry/rhubarb pie - the rhubarb came from our garden. More MacBeth Evans bowls and also white MacBeth Evans dessert plates - the plates were a gift from my cousin several years ago in California.
A spring Bunny Tea Pot
And a spring tree decorated with tiny ornaments, sparkly eggs, ribbons and flowers
Spring indoors and out - these are pansies from the pots on our deck
A happy spring brunch!!

Such pretty colours for a springtime brunch. I love the painted plant pots as napkin rings!
So pretty! Those pastels are wonderful for Easter - I especially love those napkin rings. Happy Mother's Day, JoAnn!
I love how you were able to "go shopping" in your own closets for the elements in your tablescape! What a lovely combination of gifts, vintage finds, family pieces and your own pretty crafts! Everything looks great together!

JoAnn, This looks like a wonderful Spring and Easter brunch table. Sausage and bacon with french toast casserole - yum! The napkins and the flower pot napkin rings with the vintage glasses are so pretty. I am loving the yellow flatware. It is perfect for a lovely Spring table setting. And the MacBeth Evans plates look like pretty spring flowers with their sweet pastel colors. Very pretty!
What a wonderful table you set. You are so creative.
The Yellow-headed Blackbird seems to be all over the area of Eastern wa. we were in last week. They are bigger than the Red wing and noisy. MB
Hope your trip to WV was wild and wonderful! :)
I love this table setting!! The napkin rings are pure genius. Love them.
A beautiful table setting. The egg tree reminds me of one my mom used to have for Christmas. She took real eggs and blew out the raw insides. Then she hand painted the outsides with Christmas images. Red satin ribbon wrapped each egg with a bow and loop at the top to go over the limb of a small artificial gold tree. It was our traditional table decoration each year. I still have the eggs in storage. Amazingly after over 20 years only two have broken. - Margy
