WELCOME TO MONDAY MORNING BLOOMS!
I'm always so honored to join this group of oh! so talented friends, this time we have my dear friend Kelly of My Soulful Home as our special guest. Kelly has a gorgeous blog, and a podcast that you won't want to miss!
For this year's table-setting for Easter, I’m keeping it simple and elegant and full of spring inspired charm.
Can I just wax lyrical for a moment about the centerpiece? This is a combination of the most beautiful hydrangeas my son-in-law picked up for me, along with a birthday bouquet the same s-i-l and daughter sent me from Urban Stems. {Those light pink ballerina roses that fully opened on the top of the bouquet? Yes, they kill me with their beauty.}
Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.

Easter is such a special time of hope and renewal!
I always confess on these special Monday Morning Blooms that I don't actually DO anything to the flowers, they come beautiful. Just cut at a slant, pop in a vase, and they look amazing!!
I used a vintage Madeira tablecloth as the base, this one is covered with the prettiest flowers all over. It's a soft blue grey color, and the perfect background for the Chintz dishes.
This Chintz pattern is called Apple Blossom, isn't it so enchanting covered with all the flowers in pink, blue, yellow and white? It was made by Charles Kent, in England. Nothing brings on Spring more than flowers.
I added antique white Limoges plates with a gold rim in between the larger and smaller plate. The gilt edging echoes the gilt trim on the Apple Blossom, and also the beautiful gold glass Vetro goblets.
Our Hares make an appearance with their jaunty checked ribbon bows. The colors in the ribbons are almost an exact match to the colors in the flowers. This table scape has a simple but elegant look that I love.
Classic styling, maybe a little bit more fancy than I normally do, but then it IS Easter! Little boxes of jelly beans in sweet colors and an Easter cookie are a little treat at each place setting.
I added a chintz saucer underneath the floral centerpiece for an extra pop of color.
My table is ready for Easter! I hope you are inspired and take away some ideas to use on your own Easter table this year. Maybe you will Set an Easter Table Filled with Blooms too!
Thank you so much for your visit, and for being the sweetest readers out there! I cherish your comments, and look forward to hearing what you will do for Easter this year.
It's still early, so you have some time to maybe fuss a little bit with some of your own pretty linens and dishes to create a lovely table-setting to celebrate Easter!

Thank you, Lidy and friends, for such a lovely treat for our eyes and wonderful ideas for our own Easter table settings!!
Greetings! As usual your blog is beautiful! Just wanted to stop by and let you know I am back to the blog! I have thought of you often! I am keeping both blogs and will post a devotional tomorrow on my Samaritan Women and then hope to post on the Life at my House blog sometime over the weekend. I have so missed my friends! Hope to take time and read some of your beautiful posts. Hope this finds you well!
Bonjour, Lidy,

Thank you for always sharing all your pretties~~~~~~~~~~~~~Happy Spring soon~~~~Jean~~~~~~~~~~~P.S. Always makes me so happy after I see your beautiful things~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy Birthday!! Gorgeous flowers from your loves!! I so love beautiful Chintz pattern China for an Easter or Spring table. Exquisite, exquisite setting from the Madeira tablecloth to the elegant stemware. I wish you and your family a most joyous Easter! Looking forward to joining my MMB friends soon!
The flower arrangement is nothing short of beautiful. If I close my eyes I think I can smell the roses. And the Apple Blossom Chintz pattern so fits the flowers. Many years ago when Chintz was the things I bought the Apple Blossom tea pot which I still have and have used it to serve tea. I look forward to each and every one of your post to educate and to bring a little happiness to my heart.
