Hello Dear Readers!
I hope you had a most wonderful weekend.
We had beautiful blue skies, a nice departure from rain.
I’m here again with my wonderful flower loving friends of
Monday Morning Blooms, Lidy, Mary and Pam.
Our common theme today is Easter.
So sit back and enjoy our Easter flower inspiration presentation today!!
I am presenting, Peepin’ into Easter ~ A Fun Easter Tablescape
The links to my Monday Morning Blooms friends’ posts
are at the bottom of this post under their beautifully
inspired Easter flower arrangement images.
I recently traveled to Scottsdale, Arizona with my hubby
as he had a conference there. A colleague’s wife also
attended. Darby introduced me to my new expanded world of
Nora Fleming products and how you can think out of the box
in how you utilize these wonderful pieces.
Previously, I did not have any use for the Nora Fleming Utensil Crock;
however, when I saw it on-line used as a vase ….
I knew I had to purchase it!! The Peep mini was the
perfect mini for today’s Easter post…it set the theme
for today’s tablescape.
Plate stack:
🐇Square plate by Maxcera, Group Floral (HomeGoods)
🐇Blue salad plate and bowl by Artistic Accents (HomeGoods)
🐇Blue round braided wool placemat (HomeGoods)
The adorable Easter cookies are from Target.
I am so happy that I found them as the bakeries
near me have yet to make Easter cookies.
They are individually wrapped and sold in
a container of 8 cookies (2 of each design)
The perfect “parting gift” for my guests.
Have you noticed my ever so cute place cards?
They are by Hester and Cook.
I purchased them in Scottsdale at a most wonderful
gift shop with the largest selection of MacKenzie-Childs
items I have ever seen in a private retailer. Couldn’t resist
getting a small MKC piece to pack in my suitcase!
Jelly beans in the spoon in typical Mary (Home Is Where The Boat Is)
surprise fashion.
Adorable Peeps and rabbits 🐇 have taken over the table.
A Peep placed on top of a cupcake that is placed on
my Pottery Barn bunny mini cake stands.
If you are like me….I tend to eat dessert first! 🍰
Too cute, right?!!
Cupcakes from my local grocery store bakery
along with this cake!
This mini cake is too cute and I just added Peeps.
Peep tip….
You know when you separate the Peeps,
the white marshmallow is shown on the
sides of the Peep where it was separated.
This always made me nuts when trying to use the Peep
as a single decoration.
So what do you do? …. You rub the exposed
marshmallow areas on the back side of a Peep
where there is more accumulation of the colored
sugar coating….the sugar rubs off on the marshmallow wonderfully!
Now, I am going to write to the Peep Company and tell them
they need to include a small packet of sugar just for this issue!
On the other side of the table are the creamer and sugar
that are a part of the Maxcera Group Floral Collection.
Tablecloth by Tommy Hilfiger (HomeGoods)
Bunny in the Carrot Mobile are actually salt and pepper shakers.
I have another new addition to the table.
My pretty amber iridescent goblets that I found at
my favorite consignment shop, Always Home, Durham, NC.
They actually caught my eye as I was leaving the shop!
Good thing….I think they were shouting at me…take me home!
A view looking into the foyer.
The flowers I selected for today’s flower arrangement are:
🌸 Orange Gerbera Daisies
🌸 Cream and Pink Gerbera Daisies
🌸 Golden Yellow Ranunculus
🌸 Fuchsia Ranunculus
🌸Deep Pink/Fushia Calla Lilies
🌸Pussy Willow Stems
Hope you enjoyed my Easter table of Peeps.
You know, they say nothing is perfect.
Well, my table today has a “tablescape faux pas”
Did you notice? When I did, it was too late to fix!
However, I know Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter 🐇🐇🐇🐇
were the culprits…they mischievously changed the position
of my knife and spoon! Yep they did it and it was not
a “Senior Moment” and I’m sticking to that story!
Hope you got a smile out of this!
Now it is time to visit my ever so talented
Monday Morning Bloom friends for great Easter floral inspiration!
The links to their posts are below their images.
Enjoy!!

Shirley, I’m grinning from ear to ear and didn’t even notice a tablescape faux pas… I was too busy ‘peeping’ at all the colorful and pretty details of your table! I adore the plate stack and colorful tablecloth. Your flowers are a prefect match… those cream and pink Gerbera daisies take my breath away! Such an adorable cake and sweet cookies too and those Hester & Cook place cards are darling. I’ve long admired Nora Fleming products with the holiday and seasonal minis, using the utensil crock for a vase was genius! The bare marshmallow sides of the Peeps when separated drive me nuts too, I love your suggestion for Just Born to include extra sugar! As always, it’s a treat to share blooms with you. Thank you for the smiles and flower therapy this morning. ♥
Thank you Mary! Hopefully the Just Born (Peeps) company will answer my email!
Great joining you for flower therapy today!!! Have a wonderful week!
Shirley, your table pulls at my heart strings. You have incorporated the most beautiful explosion of color, whimsy, and fun! I love every detail…from the tablecloth, plate stack, flower arrangement, and most importantly the darling sweets! My girls would be fascinated with all the peeps. I love the Hester & Cook place cards, they are adorable. The Gerbera daisies are stunning and give off that wonderful pop of color. The Nora Fleming utensil crock made the perfect vase. Now to the naughty bunnies, be aware that they can cause problems! It is always a treat to share Monday Morning Blooms with you. Your table brought smiles this morning!
Thank you Pam…I love using Hester and Cook products…they certainly put a smile on your face!…I think I will be gaining an obsession of collecting more Nora Fleming…Have a most fabulous week and enjoy your gardens (Woodlands)!! Always so happy to join you for our Monday Morning Blooms!
Adorable and cheery Easter tablescape.. Love all the color and the sweet Peeps. Happy Easter, happy spring, happy everything!
Thank you Linda!! Happy everything to you too!!
Oh Shirley, how totally adorable! Nothing says Easter time like peeps! I know what you mean about the white edges showing when you separate the peeps, how clever of you to find a solution! I adore Nora Fleming products and have the very same crock…I also have the flatware holder and I keep them both on my beach house kitchen island where we have our buffets and it’s so much fun to change out the minis for the season or the occasion! Your table is total happy fun, love the bright colors and all the whimsy. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Easter! 🐇🌷💕
Thank you Jenna! Why did I know that you would have some of the Nora Fleming pieces for your beach house as you so love to entertain! My hubby agrees that it is one of the most colorful tables I have done…going for happy and fun!
I wish you and your family a most wonderful and blessed Easter!
I have used Nora Fleming minis for lots of occasions so I enjoy your use of the crock pot for a vase. Definitely will be trying this. Can you tell me where you got the white bunnies with the gold eggs.
Thank you Sydney….I purchased those bunnies years ago from HomeGoods…
Wow Shirley this is so cute! Love how you incorporated the peeps throughout the table. Love the tablecloth, dish stack and the pretty goblets. Good find on them! Love the placecards and the jellybeans on the spoon! Beautiful table!
Thank you Liz! It was so much fun creating this table!….Happy April and Happy Easter!
What a charming Easter table. I love every single thing about it.
Thanks so much Penny! Have a wonderful day!!
Your tablescape is delightful with all the bunnies and peeps and pretty colors! I love your amber stemware. It was one of the first things I noticed. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Thanks so much Susan Glad the amber stemware caught my eye as I was leaving the shop!
Have a great day!
What a great color wheel explosion, Shirley! From the tablecloth to the floral arrangement, and everything in between, it’s all beautiful coordinated. Love the Nora Fleming vase. You’ll have fun collecting all the seasonal topper change outs. NF also did a collaboration with Fiesta for a platter. Very nice. Love your latest consignment stems and those Target cookies are too cute. It’s ALL very cute.
Thank you Rita….yes, I just saw the NF Fiestaware at my local shop that carries NF….I think I may combine it with my vintage Fiestaware!….Have a most wonderful week Rita!
Oh Shirley it is just beautiful. I love all the colors and the sweetness everywhere. So full of whimsy and fun. Love your sweet white bunnies with their golden eggs. It is all so wonderful. xoxo Kris
Thanks so very much Kris! Thinking of you!!!
Thanks for sharing your tablescape. It makes my heart sing!!
Thank you so much Ellen!!! Happy Easter!
Another awesome table setting! Love everything about it, so many special touches! Would make one want to sit at your table! Enjoy your posts!
Thank you so much Peggy!!! It was so much fun creating this table…my inspiration was the NF crock with the Peep!!
Shirley, what a beautiful, fun and cheerful table! The colors are so happy, and it looks like spring in the most glorious way. Your peep filled table is sure to delight everyone sharing Easter with you this year. And I applaud you for the peep tip, it’s the one thing I don’t like about them. Other than the fact that I have to hide them from myself. : ) It is always such a joy to share our special Monday Morning Blooms together. Your table brought me joy this morning! xo Lidy
Shirley, I’ve had so much fun “peeping” at all these wonderful photos of your darling “peppin” tablescape. Don’t know where to start, though the “florabunda” tablecloth and dishes really set the stage! The cake, too cute! I want one! Square and lined with carrots! What could be more charming? Cookies are so pretty! I adore the way you used the peeps throughout the setting: the cute H&C placecards, the cupcake toppers, and the peeps peeping out of the flowers. I have to confess that I have bought multiple boxes of peeps this year in anticipation of using them on my own Easter setting. Only thing is, I’ve been snacking! Never knew I liked Peeps till I broke into a package. Thanks for the tip on how to sugar the sides where the Peeps were connected. Great idea! Happy Easter!
Thanks so very much Sarah!! Happy April and Happy Easter!
