Initially, I hadn’t planned an Easter table setting, but a
charming running hare weather vane caught my eye and sparked inspiration. I
decided to make it the centerpiece—an element I often find the most
challenging—and build an elegant tablescape around it. The plate stack is a curated blend of heritage and style: Italian porcelain
chargers with deep green rims, a cherished inheritance from my mother, layered
with black
and white polka-dotted porcelain plates,
matching soup bowls (perfect for my avocado cucumber soup), mugs, and vibrant
tangerine
Fiestaware plates. Each piece harmonizes within
the cohesive color scheme.
One of the highlights of this tablescape are the whimsical carrot-shaped salad
bowls, which never fail to spark conversation. They’re versatile—ideal for a
carrot salad, a warm
carrot soup, or even a creamy carrot
dip, as I’ve served in the past. Their playful
charm elevates the setting.
Bold orange
flatware delivers a striking accent, while checked
green napkins from Pottery Barn soften the look with subtle sophistication.
The
greenery encircling the soup bowls is from a local shop; this is complemented
by whimsical faux carrots. The green glassware, sourced from Villeroy and Boch,
adds a final touch of refinement.
This tablescape strikes a balance of simplicity and appeal, suitable for all tastes
and versatile enough for Easter, spring gatherings, or summer occasions. It’s a
testament to how minimal elements can create a memorable dining experience.
Many thanks to Rita of Panoply for

So beautiful; a feast in itself!
Pattie, What a fun, frolicking hare your weathervane makes as a centerpiece for your table! The black and white polka dots mixed with the green checks and pop of carrot orange in your flatware, plates and bowl play so well together. I spied that cute carrot bowls at HomeGoods once upon a time and regretted that I didn’t pick up a couple. I’m intrigued by carrot dip! So happy to have you join us in this hop. Happy April 🐇 🥕
I do love the dashing hare (:
Hi Pattie! Your hare IS dashing and I love the whimsical carrot accents--such a lovely table setting for the season! Pinned!
Welcome Patti....it is so good to have you join us. As you probably know, this group has been around a long, long time.
I love your hare weathervane for a centerpiece and the bow is a perfect edition to tie it all together. Your plate stack compliments each element of your table. The pops of orange in the carrots, flatware and carrot bowls add yet another co-ordinated theme. I, too have several specialty bowls which always compliment my tables but cause storage issues, which is also common among us.🥴 How fortunate you are to have pieces from your Mother. That makes them even more special. Have a great and Blessed day. Kari@Me and My Captain🐇🐥🐑💚🥰
Hello Patti, I am new to your blog. Your dashing hare is so fun and a perfect addition to your Easter table. I loved your carrot accents as well. Your guests will be delighted to sit at your Easter table.
Happy April!
Welcome Pattie, your table is so fun with the dashing rabbit weathervane. The carrot bowls are so cute. A lovely touch adding the greenery and carrots to your dishware. Love the flatware too. Such a fun and whimsical table. I am happy to hop along with you.
What a pretty table! It's perfect for spring, it has all those great Easter vibes, including a dashing hare and those sweet carrot bowls. What a fun hop!
Hi Pattie! I love green with orange - especially for spring - and the black and white accents make the color palette divine. Love those sweet little carrot bowls and I have dashing hare envy - what great finds! The Italian chargers from your mother must be very special. Welcome to this awesome group and wishing you a very happy spring and Easter!
Pattie, I say 3 cheers for this darling table. Love the dashing hare and all the pops of orange. Adorable carrot bowls! I'm at work on a new table myself, and carrots will be the star. Always fun to view your posts. Happy Spring! Happy Easter!
Love, love love the mixture of patterns and colors. A polka dot plate an cup and a bunny weather vane certainly captured my heart. And adding the bright and cheerful and playful color of orange in your flatware and adorable carrot bowls, it takes it over the whimsy top. I also love the touch of light green and white checks and the greenery on your plate stack. So cute and playful. Have a great holiday and enjoy your charming Easter/Spring tablescape.
Pattie, love the colors of your plate stackand accompanying elements in this tablescape, with the hare weather vane front and center! The KS polka dots and carrot dishes keep it whimsical, while those gorgeous green chargers ground the look and add classic appeal. Fiesta ware is made in my home state of WV, and continually proves its utilitarian and colorful place in any table setting. I really love the overall look created here. So happy to have you join in sharing your creative table talents among us. Thank you!
I'm going to come back and go through some of the links. Your tablescapes and history of where some of the items came from..etc...is so interesting and beautiful. YOu should have a magazine you post to for Tablescapes and food.
Pattie! What a fun table!! I love your polka dots and dashing hare! This makes for such a whimsical setting with the carrot dish, orange plate and flatware! So cute!! I hope you have a beautiful spring and Easter🐇🌱🥕
What a sweet table, all the spring colors are just perfect. The carrot and orange accents are very attractive.
Lovely to have you join us Pattie and I am a fan of your dashing hare. Loved the Italian chargers. they are the perfect start to your colorful table setting. The touches of orange add the exuberance of spring without overwhelming the table. A very whimsical look at Spring with a touch of Easter.

Pattie, I love this! It's so vibrant and bold with a touch of playfulness. The saturation levels of all the table elements are similar so everything enhances everything else. The plate stack is fun, the plate designs are complemented by the flatware and glassware, and the hare is a wonderful centerpiece! Bravo!
Sandra @ Dinner at Eight
What a cute dashing hare, Pattie! Isn’t it fun how seeing something inspiring can change your tablescape idea? Your place settings are so bright and cheerful, and Mmmmmmmm avocado cucumber soup!! The whole table is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your inspiration – I got a whole lot for my own future tables! Hope you have a lovely spring!
Pattie, I am swooning over that adorable rabbit weathervane. What a perfect centerpiece! The mix of polka dots and green checks accented by orange is the perfect spring color combination. The carrot bowls are adorable. It has been so fun joining you on this hop. I hope you have a happy spring! Shannon@Belle Bleu Interiors
I love this table Pattie! The orange and green is such a great combination for spring! Using the ivy around the bowls was a great idea! And, the little carrots are adorable! I'm a sucker for gingham, so the napkins are a favourite! But, the "dashing hare" centrepiece is a showstopper for sure! Wishing you a joyful spring!
Pattie, your Dashing Hare tablescape is such a fun celebration for Easter! I love the bold black and white elements—it’s such a fresh contrast to your greens and oranges. The greenery is a fun touch! You styled everything with such flair. So inspiring and unique! Happy Easter!
