Am I having company for Easter? No. In fact, I’m still trying to decide what kind of dinner I’m going to have. Part of me feels as though I should be traditional and order a small ham and make an effort. Another part of me really wants some of that delicious fried chicken from the deli. Yet another part of me thinks that, because I’ll probably be watching baseball, why not just have hotdogs? I’m still deciding, and I am easily swayed, so feel free to weigh in with your suggestions.
Despite the fact that I’m not having company, I could hardly fail to set an Easter table when I have such adorable Easter dishes. The reality of my situation is that I currently have my trusty remodeler, Joe, here converting my lanai into a conservatory. So this is what the place really looks like. But if we can suspend reality for a moment, this is the table I would have were a serving brunch, and not in the process of remodeling.
The chargers, Bordallo Pinheiro geranium plates, were a gift from a blogger friend. I use these more often than I ever imagined that I would.
The bunny plates I purchased a number of years ago from Williams-Sonoma. That
is a purchase I will never regret, I absolutely love them.
The glassware were among my first purchases when I got out of college decades
ago (I will not tell you exactly how many decades.) I spotted these at a gift
shop at Lake of the Ozarks, and knew that they would pair perfectly with my set
of Fitz & Floyd “Coquille” pattern dishes. I was 21 at the time, and already
enamored with tableware. Trust me, it’s a sickness!
The little egg place card holders belonged to my mother. Every year she would
host a Palm Sunday brunch and press these in the service. I had to use them.
I don’t care how old you get, there is still something magical about an Easter
basket, so I had to include this little wooden one. I’ve had it for so long
that I honestly can’t remember where I got it. 
The Easter bunny sugar and creamer, also from Fitz & Floyd, are a part of a
tea set from my mother. Aren’t they charming? 
The flatware is Napoleon Bee from Wallace, and one of my favorites; the napkins a purchase Pier
One, back when they had their brick and mortar stores, and boy, do I miss those
stores.
Whatever you plan to do for Easter, make it happy, make it fun, and make an
effort.
