Each year when I begin to decorate my home for Easter,
memories come flooding back of my childhood and the many songs that my parents would sing.
One in particular is a song that my mom loved,
“The Easter Parade” by the songwriter Irving Berlin.
“In your Easter Bonnet, with all the thrills upon it,
you’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.”
My mom loved it when Judy Garland sang it. I think I know every Judy Garland song there is!
Call me a sentimental sap!
So today, in honor of the Easter Parade song, I present you with
The Easter Bunny Parade Tablescape and a Giveaway!
See details for the Giveaway below.
Today I am joining some of my bHome friends to share All Things Easter.
I began creating my tablescape by gathering some of my collection of Bunnies.
The playful moss bunnies were the first bunnies I reached for to become the stars
of the table. Along with last year’s Pottery Barn bunny accent plates.
The “bunnies in flight” seem like they are running away from the
famous farmer, Mr. McGregor, as they were caught in his garden having lunch
without an invitation!
This year I used some cheerful Spring plates as chargers that I have had for several years.
I turned the square plates on the diagonal for a different look.
The sugar and creamer match the square plates/chargers
that sit on top of older Pottery Barn bunny dessert plates.
I use them in so many different ways. They are so versatile.
And what’s an Easter table without Jelly Beans!
Must have another touch of Spring with the bird’s nest in the ironstone bowl
with vintage seed packets tucked into the nest with those pretty blue speckled eggs.
There is only two things on the table that are are “new”.
The tablecloth by Tommy Hilfiger found at HomeGoods
and this cute ceramic bunny bucket that goes so well
with the tablecloth.
Using wet floral foam, I arranged the Alstroemerias and a few Calla Lillies in the bucket.
And what’s a chair at the head of the table without a cute bunny pillow?
Pillow by Pottery Barn last year.
The table is set and ready for Easter festivities.
I guess you could say that the table could also double as one set for Spring.
It is always fun creating a fun table for Easter using such cheerful colors
and whimsical bunnies that make you smile!

Love the all frolicking bunnies hopping along your table Shirley! I can see your new tablecloth as colorful foundation for many spring and summer tables.

Love everything April Cornell and have been a fan for years. The luxurious linen jacquard napkins caught my eye today.
I love the Felicity’s Flowers Tablecloth.
Lovely table setting, Shirley! I don’t have any moss bunnies but want to get some…so sweet. I always love seeing photos of your beautiful home…so inspiring. I can tell from your writings that you are a truly sentimental soul, and it’s one of the many things that makes you and your blog so very special. Hugs!
I love your table! Happy Easter!
Your table is truly spring-like on this cold winter’s day! My favorite things on the April Cornell website is the wide variety of napkin patterns! I’m partial to Felicity’s flowers myself! 😉
Homespun Matelasse Tablecloth, love the tablescape!
I just love the beautiful bunny plates and also the gorgeous flowered plates/chargers! I could use them all Spring and Summer! The tablecloth goes perfectly. I, too, bought alstromeria for a new centerpiece at the breakfast room table. I love them as they last SO long! A florists staple!
Pinky’s recent post…Bunnies on the Mantle and Hearth!
Love the bunny table! So cute!
My favorite April Cornell site. I’ve never heard of it before. My favorites are the Provence Seersucker and Lotus tablecloths. I love yellow and blue together!
That parade is so BUNTIFUL…..Love my bunnies! Even the real ones that eat my flowers! LOL
Shirley I remember fondly that song Easter parade too! I adore your plates and pretty paisley tablecloth. Such a beautiful setting all the way around!
Your Easter table is beautiful and I’m sure it’s garnering a lot of traffic for you as well as all of the others! I definitely enjoyed seeing this post and I shared it with all of my FB friends. Heirloom Rose Linen Tablecloth is my favorite design.
Shirley, what a delightful and beautiful Easter table. I love the moss bunnies, the mix of patterns, and textures. It is so colorful, and you know how much I appreciate that! I would love to dine at your gorgeous table!!
Pam Richardson’s recent post…Tablescape Tuesday: It Never Occurred To Me
Your Easter Bunny Parade table is an absolute delight Shirley! I love how the bright colours of those floral plates set the cheerful mood for this playful tablescape. Lots of gorgeous spring elements to be enjoyed and a perfect setting for Easter celebrations. Love it!!!
Loved the peony market tote for $32.
Loved all of your Easter table setting pics, especially the sugar and creamer on the bunny plate stands, loved that!
I love her Willa Rose Round Cloth. Love your Easter ideas — do you have a source for antique seed packets?
I love the Felicity Flowers throw!
I really like the Garden Patchwork Throw.
You really knocked it out of the park with your beautiful Easter Bunny Parade. I love Easter and you certainly have a stunning table. I need to get cracking and decorate for Easter or it will be here and gone.
I be your little Sweetie really likes the tablescape. Do you put her Easter basket outside the front door? We did that with Kelly and left carrots for the Easter Bunny. She would go to the door and open it and get so excited that the bunny left her basket there. Now she’s to old for that.
I bet your mom got you and your sister all dressed up in your Easter finery. I love to get a new outfit for church. On those good memories and the Easter Egg Hunts.
Please enter me into your drawing – love anything roses.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Mary

Shirley, that is such a sweet story. You brought back a memory for me. Both my mom and my grandfather would always sing that song when I was a little girl. She and my grandfather loved to play the piano and sing. Your table is beautiful with those pretty bunny plates and cute moss bunnies. I love your idea for placing the square plates on the diagonal, and your tablecloth is gorgeous. I came so close to buying the same one yesterday! I may still have to go back and get one if it’s still there. I hope you have a beautiful day!!!
