Ready for Easter Brunch

It's been a busy couple of days getting ready for Easter brunch!  I have been busy as a bee tablescaping, polishing and chopping.   Everything is pretty well set, including the table.
 
 
I found this cute as a button table runner at Kohl's.  I bought two of them with the Kohl's bucks I earned shopping for clothes to take on vacation, so they didn't cost me a thing!  What I really like about them is that each section buttons together, so you can unbutton them to use as placemats.

 

The pot of daffodils and the table runner added plenty of color, so  I kept the rest of the table linens neutral.  I love this pink polka-dot pot I found at the Christmas Tree Shop for $2.99; it repeats the print on the table runner.


 

I found these ceramic Easter baskets at the Christmas Tree shop.  They're perfect for holding  jelly beans.


The egg placecard holders were also a Christmas Tree Shop find at $1.99 for four. 

I was out of card stock to use for the placecards and didn't feel like running out to the store.  However, I found  some yellow poster board left over from a homeschooling project and some name tag labels leftover from a church women's conference.  I printed the labels on the computer and attached them to squares of posterboard, then finished the edges with some scrapbooking scissors.   I am pleased with the result, but best of all, they didn't cost me a cent!


I mixed and matched neutral dishes with polka-dot luncheon plates from the Christmas Tree Shop. 


I also bought these colorful Easter candle rings at Kohl's with my Kohl's bucks.
 
 

For brunch tomorrow, I am serving tropical fruit salad with yogurt dressing, oven-baked blueberry French toast, apricot-glazed baked ham, oven roasted potatoes, roasted asparagus,  assorted muffins and breads, mimosa punch, coffee, and assorted desserts.

Ah...done...it feels great to finally be able to put my feet up!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter Jane Sweetie...
What a glorious share this evening. Your table is SO gorgeous. It looks fit for royalty.

That runner is SO precious. I will have to pop over by Kohls and see if they still have any left. I would love one for the summer, as it is so cute, and I love the button effect. How creative is that.

Your name cards you made are so delightful. I would say everyone will be thrilled to be sitting at this gorgeous table.

That little polka dotted pot is simply gorgeous, and perfect for the occasion.

Have a glorious Easter Sunday sweet friend. Thank you for sharing with me. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

The runner is precious and sets the perfect tone for your Easter table. I love polka dots! I wonder if we could do something similar with other place mats...such a great idea. Thank you for sharing your darling design. Cherry Kay
