Hop to the table and celebrate Spring with a whimsical bunny-themed table. Additionally, you’ll find Spring and Easter tablescape and centerpiece inspiration from 19 table stylists and bloggers.
Happy or more appropriately, ‘Hoppy’ Tuesday! 🐇
I’m hopping down the bunny trail for a Spring Tablescape Blog Hop.
You’ll find Spring and Easter table inspiration from 19 table stylists at the bottom of this post.
Spring’s arrival brings bunnies, bunnies and more bunnies!
The Potting Shed is home to lots of bunnies.
I feel a little like Mrs. McGregor trying to keep Peter Rabbit and friends
away from the tender emerging perennials . . .
it’s often a losing proposition!
Word spreads quickly through the rabbit grapevine
about the all-you-can-eat buffet. . .
And bunnies multiply as they tend to do. . .
I finally decided, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!
🐇 🐇 🐇
Welcome to Cottontail Farms. . .
Open Daily
Specializing in Bunnies 🐇 Carrots 🥕 Chocolate 🐇
More specifically, Lindt Chocolate Carrots!
Everybunny is welcome!
Bunnies have gathered in the Potting Shed for a little tabletop fun,
in celebration of spring’s arrival and with Easter on its way!
Did you know a group of group of wild rabbits is called a ‘fluffle’?
Let me introduce to some of my ‘fluffle’ and favorite bunny friends. . .
“Poppy”
“Petunia”
“Lily”
And “Violet”.
“Clover” is happy to be out of her bunny hutch and
gathered some flowers to celebrate Spring’s arrival!
“Pansy” is offering up tulips, her second favorite flower for spring . . .
And “Flora” is delivering some Lisianthus in the basket on her back.
Bunny Bouquet paper placemats by Hester & Cook hopped to the table. . .
And burlap and beaded bunny ear napkin rings pair with a jute runner,
providing some warm texture and
marrying a bunny napkin with a floral print.
Ball jar bouquets of white tulips, stock, hydrangeas and spikes of gooseneck loosestrife
provide some flower therapy to welcome Spring,
with cottontail ribbon adorning the jars.
And fluffy chrysanthemums are sprinkled on the tabletop
and Cottontails Farm sign, to mimic bunny “cottontails”.
Lindt Milk Chocolate Mini Gold Bunnies are nestled
in paper shred, tucked in a bunny egg cup. . .
And join playful pansy bunny salt and pepper shakers,
frolicking in celebration of Spring.

Mary, I am loving your potting shed tablescapes, and this one is no exception! It is just bursting with colour and so many adorable bunnies! Those place mats are perfect, and the little bunny ear napkin rings are adorable. The Lindt chocolate carrots are calling my name! Those rascally rabbits in your yard are adorable, but a bit of a nuisance too! We have them in our yard, and we also have golden retrievers. The bunnies are so bold, we have to go out and scoot them from the yard before we let the dogs out. They have no fear! Happy Spring :)
Thank you Maureen, Our rabbits become bolder too as the season progresses.🐇 So happy to hop with you again, Happy Spring! 🌸
Oh Mary…you are so innovative and I look forward every blog hop to see just what new and different ways you put it all together. I love the placemats and napkin rings. (I have the rings too) and I have wished for a potting shed but our “city” has so many rules and regs that it makes it almost an act of congress. It is always a pleasure to blog hop with you. Have a great day.
Thank you Kari, we had to jump through a few hoops with our county regulations to build it 10 years ago. 🏡
Happy to hop with you again, and Happy Spring! 🐇🌸
I am smiling, Mary! what a delight to enjoy all the bunnies and flowers and cute candy this morning. I did not know a group of wild rabbits are called a fluffle! You have a wonderful collection of cute bunnies. The Lindt chocolate carrot is an adorable accent.
You are the queen of charming detail. The bunny ribbon is so pretty on the bell jars and your selection of flowers couldn’t be better. There is so much to take in at Cottontail Farms. Thank you for sharing your talent today! I enjoyed myself viewing.
Thank you for your sweet comment Bonnie! 🐇 I hope your hydrangeas fared well with the late cold snap. Happy Spring 🌸
Incredible details…and wit, which was most welcome this morning with my coffee! I apologize, but those bunnies in your garden – inside the cages – just crack me up. I shouldn’t laugh, as I’ve had the same issues in the past (they used my teak slatted lounge chair as a pergola where they gathered beneath). The details on this tablescape are so great. I love it when you double your napkins, and the Hester & Cook paper goods are so wonderfully detailed….
Your flower arrangements are a presentation themselves, completely outside of the tablescaping! And all the extras – the egg cups, the s&p, the glassware – an all around feast for the eyes. It’s like going through an Easter basket, savoring all the goodies. Thank you, Mary, for participating to the max! Happy Spring!
Thank you Rita, those rascally rabbits with their voracious appetites are the bane of my existence…it’s a good thing they’re so cute! 🐇 Thank you so much for hosting and all your organizing efforts in these hops it’s much appreciated!!🐰 Happy Spring! 🌸
Mary, it is a welcome sight to visit your potting shed filled with bunnies and flowers! The Lindt chocolate bunny with carrot is adorable and I am sure delicious. I must find those for the grands. Unfortunately the fluffle of bunnies have been visiting my garden! Hester and Cook design the cutest placemats and they are perfect for your potting shed table as they rest on the jute runner. I have always admired your floral bunny plates with their cute names. You assembled some lovely blooms for your tabletop, I love lisianthus. Cottontail Farms delivers a perfect welcome to spring and the Easter season. I always enjoy your tables and being invited inside your perfect Potting Shed. Thank you for always inspiring, Mary!
Thank you so much Pam! Yes, those bunnies have quite the appetite for our perennials, I wished they like our neighbor’s clover as much. 🐰 I hope you’re warming up and enjoying some beautiful Spring weather this week.🌸☀️
Delightful, refreshing and totally Spring filled joy, thank you Mary.
Thanks so much for your visit and sweet comment Barbara! 🐇🌸
Seeing bunnies throughout your festive tablescape is lovely. But it’s a bit of a dichotomy because seeing them in my yard is never a good thing as they feast on the loveliest flowers/plants first. Thankfully, we have wildlife critters to keep our bunny population in check: bobcats, foxes and coyotes. (never poison!) Mary, it must be a little bit maddening to see bunnies in your beautiful garden. What do you do (or have in place) to keep your bunny population down?
Thank you for your visit and comment Karen! I’ve tried wire garden fencing, which doesn’t work the small bunnies and Repels-All. Repels-All is a safe and natural repellent, but it has to be reapplied after rain, which means frequently for us in the spring. People swear by it but I didn’t have a lot of success with it.🐇 Happy Spring! 🌸
Oh Mary, I so enjoyed my visit to Cottontail Farms and it’s fluffle of bunnies! I sure would love a chocolate carrot umbrella! So much bunny love and cuteness, there are bunnies everywhere! The cabbage plates and bounty of Spring flowers makes your table feel like I’m outside in the garden 🌷 The pansy bunny pitcher is adorable, and with so many cute bunny faces you can’t help but smile 😊 The H&C placemats don’t look like paper, so pretty! Bunny salt and peppers, there is bunny everything!! Happy Spring Mary 🥕🐇🥕
Thank you Jenna! 🐇 Hope you’re enjoying some beautiful Spring weather this week! 🌸🌞
Fluffed heaven Mary! You’ve inspired me to use my F&F bunny teapot and pitcher as vases for tulips. I adore those wonderful paper placemats, a fabulous find! Happy spring and Easter to you.
Thank you so much Debbee! We missed you in the hop, Happy Spring! 🐇🍽️🌸
So appropriate to name your bunnies after flowers. Although bunnies eat new plants it’s still fun to glimpse them in the garden. So many sweet bunnies to enjoy on your table. The placemats are great and don’t look at all like paper. I enjoyed seeing all your accessories and would love to try the chocolate umbrella. Happy Spring!
Thank Lynne, so happy to hop with you this week! 🐇🍽️🌸
Mary, The potting shed bunny fluffle is fabulous (the real ones are cute little trouble makers too)! The paper placemats immediately caught my eye. They are so colorful and I love the way you paired them with your other placemats. Your sign is so cute and the potting shed just beams with happiness! It’s so well adorned with so many adorable bunnies. The spring flowers and cute bunny names makes my heart smile. Great job! Clara❤️
Thank you so much for your visit and sweet comment Clara! I hope you’re warming up and enjoying some beautiful spring weather this week! 🐇🌸❤️
Mary, a feast for our eyes with your potting shed vignette. The beautiful florals with those cabbage plates and topped with super cute bunnies. Bunnies galore. Love the if you can’t beat them, join them. The bunny ear napkin rings look darling with your doubled bunny and floral napkins. The Lindt carrot chocolates are a sweet addition. Pansy and Flora are so cute. Love the Hester & Cook paper napkins. They make such pretty paper placemats. The bunny ear cupcakes are so adorable along with the Easter basket ones. No stone left unturned in your bunny festive tablescape. So sorry about the bunnies eating your garden. We have the very same issue with squirrels. I could not participate on this Easter tablescape blog hop, due to traveling to Kauai.|
Thank you Linda! We missed you this week…🐇🍽️🌸 I hope you’re enjoying a wonderful getaway. ❤️
Thank-you for sharing your “fluffles” with us, especially the real ones! Posts featuring your little potting shed bring me joy. I love how you’ve styled it with the bunnies, and you even have the most adorable bunny ear napkin rings! Your cute Cottontail Farms sign is so cute and appropriate. I also appreciate your reference to Peter Rabbit. I was recently gifted with a thick book entitled Beatrix Potter’s Gardening Life. Your post looks like it leaped from the pages of her book…the photos and artwork are incredible! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us, Mary. Happy Spring!
Thank you Ricki Jill, what a wonderful and informative book! The Novel Bakers did a post on Beatrix Potter’s Gardening Life several years ago, HERE. So happy to join you at the table again and hop with you again. Happy Spring! 🐇🍽️🌸
Mary, your table setting is simply darling. I love all the bunnies and your charming window display–pinned! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you so much Cecilia! So happy to hop with you this week, Happy Spring! 🐇🍽️🌸
Happy spring, Mary! You have such a talent for creating the most beautiful settings. Everything looks gorgeous in your potting shed all set for the spring season. I enjoyed meeting your fluffle of bunnies and seeing your pretty bouquets of flowers. My grandmother adored rabbits and collected many pretty “bunny” themed items. I now have several of these pretties. I do believe she passed down her love of rabbits to me. I seem to get mad at the deer for eating my plants but seem to never get irritated at the bunnies. They are just too cute! I hope that your spring is filled with lots of happiness and many blessings!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment Shannon! So happy to hop with you this week, Happy Spring! 🐇🍽️🌸
Thank you for your “hoppy” bunny display, Mary! Those placemats are so pretty and I’m particularly loving the aqua and pink embossed bunny plates. I’d go for a chocolate carrot anytime! Happy Spring! 🌷 🐰 🌷
Thank you Kitty, I hope you’re enjoying some beautiful spring weather this week! 🌷 🐰 🌞
So much cuteness here, always a treat to visit! Decorated the greenhouse for Easter in our constant rainy days, so yearn for sunny days to get out and play! With dogs I never see bunnies…
Thank you! I’m overdue a visit, I hope you’re not floating away! 🐇🌸🌧️
You would never know I live in ca, back into the 30s with rain rain rain, we should be sunny and in the 70s!!! I NEED SPRING!
I like all your bunnies – real and faux
Thank you Gail, Happy Spring!🌸
Oh, Mary, my bunny loving heart is singing loudly. Can you hear it? Of course you make thoughtful accomodations for the bunny residents. They are so cute! We don’t normally see bunnies here, but occasionally Sadie and I see one on our morning or evening walks. It’s always all alone, so I wonder where it lives. I think it needs a fluffle!
Poppy, Petunia, Lily, Violet, Clover, Pansy, Flora are each one adorable. They certainly live in the perfect home! I love when you stage your potting shed table. It’s such a fun playhouse!
All the flowers are gorgeous, and the cabbage ware is a favorite for me. I need to find more of my pink bunny pattern.
Thanks for the joy! Happy Spring!
Thank you so much Sarah! 🐇 I always enjoy my visits with you with your beautiful collections and dishware! Looking forward to sharing blooms with you soon! 🌸
I loved the tour of your Easter Table in the Potting Shed. I am in awe! It’s breathtaking! The bunnies and all their names are nothing but perfect! Thanks so much for the gorgeous photography today! I am going to scroll through again to see all the cuteness one more time. Maybe two more times. Happy Spring!
Thank you so much for your visit and sweet comment Nancy! I hope you’re enjoying some beautiful Spring weather. 🌸🌞
Oh my goodness Mary. Bunnies, bunnies everywhere and I love it all! I’m sorry the real bunnies are such a nuisance in your garden but your photos of them are adorable. Dare I say that the Cottontail Farms sign is perfect. The table display is so cute with your Pottery Barn bunny plates on the BP cabbage plates. The napkins and placemats are so pretty and you have an amazing fluffle collection, all of it beautiful. Your tables are always amazing! Wishing you a very happy Easter!
Thank you Kim! So happy to hop with you this week, Happy Spring! 🐇🌸
Mary, what a beautiful floral Easter tablescape. You always have some very unique finds in your work. I adore the paper bunny placemats. So charming and works in wonderfully with all of the bunnies from Violet to Pensy. Your bunny pitcher and salt and pepper shakers are so playful and portrays the playfulness of the real ones in your garden feasting on all of your healthy and vibrant plants. I am always in love with your floral centerpieces. There is something so vivid and striking with the use of real flowers. Stunning.
Thank you so much Marsha! So happy to hop with you this week and I hope Spring arrives in your neck of the wood soon! 🐇🌸
Mary, I just love the bunny invasion of the potting shed!! How fun, it is just a delight every way you look!! I love your sign- bunnies, carrots and chocolate!! The colorful flowers sure make this a celebration of spring. Your photographs are fabulous, I know it isn’t easy to shoot with so much light coming at you with the windows. What a wonderful post! It is always such a pleasure to see what you have put together! I hope you have a blessed Easter and a very happy spring!!🌷🌼🌱
Mary, your potting shed is a visual delight, with so many exuberant colors, textures, and shapes singing that spring is here and Easter is on its way! You’ve layered interesting pieces and spotlighted others to create charming bunny tales throughout your tablescape. I love all the playful bunnies, each one cuter than the last, although I admit to being partial to the bunny vase. And the abundance of flowers! Your potting shed must smell heavenly!
The bunnies outside the potting shed look so innocent, but I know better. What they haven’t gotten to in my garden has fallen to the deer.
I’ve enjoyed hopping into spring with you!
Mary, Mary, Mary – you’ve done it again!! Oh my dear, sweet, friend, I am completely enamored with your Easter table!!! The bunnies are each so precious and once again I’m introduced to a delightful new find – those Bunny placemats by Hester & Cook! That is a new brand to me that I’m thrilled to discover! Thank you for always blazing these wonderful trails and sharing your extraordinary style!!! I always want to just sit right down and take my time, soaking up every delightful detail!! I also love the big bunnies with baskets!! I’ve been on the lookout for some of those but haven’t found the right ones yet – the hunt continues!!! Thank you for allowing me a seat at your table today! What a joy!!! ~ Hugs ~ Jennifer
Mary, The potting shed is decked out beautifully for Easter! Of course, that is no surprise when visiting you here! Those bold bunnies, not even longing for the dear sweet green leaves emerging from the ground from outside of the fence, they just go right in and help themselves!! Although all of your plates are delightful, the pink and blue plates with the bunnies around the edges are my favorites. I always enjoy when you use them! The Cottontail Farm sign is just perfect for your gathering of bunnies in the potting shed. The bunny pitcher is particularly lovely! Happy Spring and Happy Easter!
Looks like an Easter toy store. I love all the bunnies,flowers and cute displays! So adorable! You are so very talented in all you do!
What a well informed post! Soooo much to read! I’m late reading today because been decorating for Easter! Thank you again for all the help getting us ready for Easter! 🌷🐇🥕💐❤️
Mary, I’m loving the abundance of bunnies and blooms in your potting shed. It’s truly a feast for the eyes! I had to chuckle seeing the real bunnies in your garden, too. How can these creatures be both so cute and so destructive? It’s always fun to “hop” with you! Happy Spring :)
I don’t think I have seen so many bunnies!! Each one is adorable, especially the real ones! Cute idea to hang the chocolate umbrellas on the glass! Happy Spring
