It's Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Susan, of Between Naps on the Porch. Be sure to visit Susan's blog to see her lovely tablescape and to find links to others.
Today's tablescape is also my entry in Michelle's Easter Tablescaping and Spring Party Contest, hosted by Michelle at Maddycakes Muse. If you'd like to enter, you have until February 28th to submit one for a chance to win some fabulous prizes.
I'm also linking up with Lynette's Easter Party.
(Click on the photos to enlarge them.)This budget-friendly Easter tablescape was created for under $50.00 with items I found at the Christmas Tree Shops (excluding the goblets and silverware, which I already owned.)
I began by layering a light blue, cutwork tablecloth with yellow matelassé placemats, ivory dinner plates and pastel, polka-dotted salad plates.
Cutwork napkins in shades of pink and green were alternated at each place setting. Beaded napkin rings and Irish crystal goblets add a bit of sparkle and formality to this otherwise casual tablescape.
Pastel baskets in alternating colors were placed at each place setting as guest favors. Each basket was lined with Easter grass and then filled with gourmet jellybeans.
An inexpensive metal pitcher filled with silk forsythia branches serves as a centerpiece. Egg ornaments tied to the branches with pastel ribbon add a bit of whimsy.
Working on today's entry has really given me spring fever! I know it's right around the corner, as we'll be setting our clocks ahead on March 14.
Thanks for stopping by!

Jane, Very cute! I guess we are on the same page tonight! To answer your question: Yes, I did make the window valance and the table runner seen in my last tablescape post: http://marshasmpressions.blogspot.com/2010/02/cabin-fever-tulips-and-tablescape.html

Hi there! :) I stopped by via Blog Frog connections. Your table entry is beautiful! Best of luck to you.
This is a perfect Easter table, and I love your little Easter "tree." I so wish I had a Christmas Tree Shop nearby.
Hi Jane,
I love your table. Pastels just make me happy and your egg tree is darling. I can't believe all of the great buys that bloggers find...I need to get out more.
Thanks for visiting me and I hope you come back again and often.
Oops...I meant set the clocks ahead, not back. LOL...never write when you're tired.
