“Saucy” Bunny Tablescape

I hesitate to call this my Easter tablescape, as its allure feels expansive enough to carry through the entire spring season. What captivates me about Easter table settings—and what I’ve intentionally infused here—are the exquisite pastel shades that echo the season’s renewal. Nothing delights me more than the sight of trees softening with fuzzy green buds or the vibrant push of spring bulbs emerging from the earth, and this design reflects that tender beauty.
  I’ve named this arrangement “Saucy Bunny,” a tribute to the Fitz and Floyd rabbit sauce bowl that reigns at its center.
 This cherished piece once belonged to my mother, who hosted unforgettable Easter brunches each year. Her signature blintzes, paired with a bing cherry sauce served from this very bowl, remain etched in my memory. It’s a keepsake I can’t bear to part with—too endearing to store away, it graces my home year-round. I briefly considered adorning it with flowers, but its simple, nostalgic charm convinced me to leave it as is. 
The table begins with a burlap light tan tablecloth, understated yet elegant, layered with a sage-green gauzy runner that adds a subtle hint of color and texture. Dotting the surface are my newest treasures: a set of green candleholders I acquired this year. Their timeless versatility promises they’ll shine through every season, not just spring.The place settings are a harmonious blend of style and sentiment. It starts with Pier 1’s iconic chippy white wooden chargers, a rustic foundation, followed by violet plates from Tabletop Gallery. Atop these rest Bordallo Pinheiro Majolica Green Geranium Leaf salad plates, crowned by Andrew Tanner’s Royal Stafford Clematis Floral Lilac Purple soup bowls. 
A ruffled lavender linen napkin from Solino Home peeks out beneath the salad plate, adding a touch of softness, while matching Bordallo Pinheiro geranium leaf salad bowls sit gracefully off to the side. Pfaltzgraff’s “Naturewood” cups bring an earthy warmth, complemented by Everest Global’s striking purple goblets that lend a regal flourish.
This tablescape is a celebration of subtlety and sophistication—its gentle hues and inviting design create a space where anyone would feel welcomed to linger.

I love this colorway. The purple goblets are so pretty, by the way. Love the candlesticks, too.

The purples and greens are glorious together. What a sweet story about your bunny bowl. I am really fond of your glassware and the green candleholders, and Naturewood has always been a favorite of mine. Like you, I look forward to the "fuzzy green buds" of spring as well as the spring flowers. It just doesn't last long enough!

Another beautiful tablescape. Do they have a county fair where you are - and do they have a section for tablescapes. I know I mentioned years ago here, I think it was that long ago...that our county fair does this every year and it's one stop I make sure to do..love looking at them.

There isn’t a county fair that I know of, Sandy, but perhaps there is one. I don’t think it would be in my immediate area, however. Seeing a tablescape display at a county fair would certainly be something that would interest me.
