Dining With Birds AND Bunnies!

Good morning! I hope Spring has sprung where you are. We are having a roller coaster of temps; 87 on Easter Sunday and by next Sunday it might not get out of the 50's!!! So, I enjoy every single Spring day we have. Joe and I have been working in the yard and soon it will be all mulched and ready for flowers!!! I am antsy to plant but it is a little too soon. As I am putting my bunnies away for another season, I decided to set a new table using birds AND bunnies. The inspiration was this runner that features birds and some script. So, since I have 2 bunnies with script on them they hopped right over to the table! Lots of organics are incorporated onto this table.  Rattan handled placemats, burlap chargers, silver, pearly handled flatware and rattan covered glasses. At first I set the table with just the bird napkin ring then remembered I could use my mini wreaths as rings as you will see further down. The napkins look like burlap too.


 2 bird votive holders are at each place setting.

and the script.
 These bunnies fit in very nicely with their burlap script outfits.. Bunnies don't have to JUST be for Easter!
 This little bird on a rock is perched right here.
 I am reusing my SPRING box and have placed in it a birdhouse, a ceramic bird, a large nest and a shovel with a pot and egg.


 This little watering can features 2 tiny birds.

 Mrs. Bunny looks so cute in her straw hat!
 The plate stack is a variety of black and white dishes. The bird appetizer plate,
 the scrolled salad plate
and the dinner plate with branches and flowers.


 The rattan covered glasses are perfect for our beverages.

 I am using the rattan covered S and P as well.


 The mini wreaths add a lot of punch and look great with the placemats.

 This is a fun table that will stay for awhile.
 As you can see, I don't have the bunnies all put away yet but will soon! It is hard to keep up with working outside and inside:)

 Happy Spring to you all!!!
 Thanks so much for your visit.
XO, Pinky

  1. I love your tables, and this one doesn't disappoint.
    I'll be leaving my bunnies out and about until June.
    This is our first spring in this new place, and I want
    to get all the 'good' out it I can, lol.

    I will change out my Easter table this Saturday (I do that
    every week regardless), but will just move the bunny stuff
    elsewhere. I'm sure I can find room somewhere!

    Happy Spring!

  7. I've been gone for quite a while, and it's been such a long time since I've found you. I was pleased to see your post. So many elements to love, but I was pretty much taken when I encountered the bronze bird candle holder...such a special piece. Thanks for inviting us for a peek. Cherry Kay

  11. Your elements from nature are so pleasing and effectively put together on your table. The rattan placemats and glass cozies are unique. I love the bunny, and the mini-wreath napkin rings are the perfect accompaniment to the placemats.
