Easter Table

For those of you who religiously (see what I did there) follow the liturgical calendar Holy Week starts this coming Sunday with Palm Sunday. (I’m a preacher’s kid… its hard to get away from the church calendar!) Easter is one of my favorite times a year… spring is in full swing, its time to spend more time outside, flowers are blooming… and don’t forget Easter candy. And although I know Easter is definitely about more than bunnies and candy, it is the one time a year I decorate with any sort of pastels (I’m a bold kind of person), and I kinda like the change for a short while.

So this weekend I decided to decorate my dining table to get me in the Easter spirit.

Most years my mom gives us a little Easter basket. Most of the things she gave us growing up are part of her Easter decorations now (which by the way is genius… give kids gifts you actually want to use as decor… BRILLIANT) but I have a few that she has given me as an adult that fit right into my table theme. The runner and plates were part of a line from Williams Sonoma a few years ago but they’ve switched their lineup this year.

I took this picture before I’d picked up the rest of my Easter Candy… so those other two silver bowls are now filled with pastel M&Ms. You can use your imagination right? (and lets be honest… M&Ms don’t last long in my house so its not like they’ll be full for long!)

My family usually dyes and hunts Easter eggs and then has a big Easter Sunday Lunch, so a nicely decorated table definitely gets me thinking about delicious food and fun family time!

I love the blue tint of the water glasses. That is actually a set my older brother bought his wife because she liked them so much at a restaurant. My mom liked my sister in law’s so much that my brother bought her some too. Now my twin brother and I both have sets and we bought a close friend a set of her own because she liked them so much!!
