The tablescape began on my dining table, sans tablecloth, with a white and blue scrolled runner placed in the center of the table. I opted not to use placemats, choosing to set fleur-de-lis plates in a soft shade of blue as a foundation.
The coordinating salad plate
is followed by a simple white saucer
and whimsical little grey plates with bunny motifs.
Crystal is placed at each setting to capture light.
It isn't traditional, but I really want to showcase the prettiness of the plates, so the flatware is placed to the right of the setting on top of sweet little crocheted-edge tea towels, and held together with pewter napkin holders.
Concrete grey bunnies who have been visiting us in the kitchen
become the centerpiece of the table,
along with low-height arrangements of soft-petalled flowers.
The delicate ruffled edges of the flowers almost look like cabbages, don't they?

Closeup of the centerpiece. Hello there, Mr. Cottontail! The addition of these little guys brings just the right amount of whimsy to a very traditional table.

Have a lovely weekend!
