The inspiration for this week's tablescape arrived in the mail around the first week in March. My Vermont friend of 50 years, sent me a beautiful set of embroidered placemats and matching napkins, in my favorite color. I immediately knew they would be used for my Easter table. Thank you, again, Randee!

Very petty Easter table! Love the plates and linens! Everything looks wonderful.
Another winning table. I love the green handles on the flatwear. The bunnies are so darn cute, and what a clever idea to place an egg on all the plates with a toothpick. Shows such creativity. Keep up the great work!!
Love that green!

I kept finding new favorites as I scrolled through this one. First, I fell in love with the linens that your friend sent you. Then, I was all about that salad plate. I loved that. Then the flatware popped up.
Just all the way around, I thought this was a beautiful table. The shot of the rims? Stunning.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter and enjoy the beauty of this table!
Very lovely table setting, as usual!! Love the plates and how they are layered. Happy Easter. Diane
Marigene:
This is such a beautiful table! How wonderful of your friend to send you those fine linens. I don't think I've ever seen anything like them in a color, and not just white or cream. They are extraordinary.
I love how you've layered your beautiful collection of whites and greens. Each layer is so interesting unto itself and when they are together - Just gorgeous!
Have a blessed Easter.

I love embroidered table linens. I used to make these like crazy when I was in high school. Lovely table.
BEAUTIFUL table! What a wonderful gift from your friend! I love the placemats and napkins. Your dishes are ALL beautiful, I love the EDGES, they add SO much interest! Happy Easter to you and yours! XO, Pinky
What a beautiful setting. I love the layers you've used in your dishes...the colors are so subtle yet striking...beautiful linens. What a sweet gift!
Oh, Marigene, your beloved GREEN is so lovely in this table! What exquisite linens! I loved the close-up shots of the embroidery. And tulips are always an elegant choice. Love it all!
Love those linens! Your table is beautiful. I have those same green dishes from TJ, but mine have a name Home Essentials, on the back from China. Probably copies of your's! You mentioned that we might have the same drop leaf table; mine was my husband's grandmother's table. Both of my tables were from my husband's grandmother's on each side of the family. I have 4 leaves for the drop leaf so I can set a REALLY large table if I need to! thanks for you comments. Dianne
Lovely table and the new linens are so pretty. The various green colors just make it a Spring and Easter feast for the eyes. The layers of plates is so pleasing!
What a table setting!! Very nice,such pretty colors. I am following your blog,you are welcome to follow mine as well.Blessings jane
Dear Marigene,

Lots of love
Happy Easter

Very pretty table setting what a wonderful friend to send such a beautiful gift.
Those glass eggs on each place are just wonderful.
What pretty greens! I adore all of the textures and patterns and those lovely linens to set the mood. Did she hand embroider them? They are exquisite. Don't you just love TJ Maxx. I just went to an out of town store today (much better than ours!) I did contain myself to one set of bowls! Now where to put them!
Have a joyous Easter, and such a pretty table to eat it on.
Oh Ms. Marigene,
Your table setting is so beautiful....those placemats are to die for! Did your friend make those, I wonder and the glass eggs look so delicate.....just beautiful!
Have a wonderful Easter
Have a wonderful Easter, Marigene.
Just beautiful! I love the green handles on the flatwear but all of your plates and decorations are just beautiful. Happy Easter!
I love the green and white. Your fresh tulips really set it off. Love the green handled flatware.
Love this tablescape...the green is a soothing shade..easy on the eyes. I could see relaxing and enjoying a meal at this elegant table. Beautiful!
Hi there! What a gorgeous setting! I esp. love the dessert plates. I'm hoping if you remember, please tell me if you know the name of the flatware? Is it Cambridge by chance? Thanks for any help! I'm glad my search led me to your pretty blog!
