Time to get hopping and pull out the bunnies and eggs in preparation!

A bunny floral cutwork embroidered table runner hopped in my cart while shopping

at HomeGoods a couple of weeks ago. It’s layered over a pastel egg tablecloth

for an Easter bunny-themed table.

Assorted white bunny dishes sit atop Mikasa Endearment plates,

with pastel sprays of flowers of mini blooms at the table.

Fortessa Debutante Glass Goblets

offer additional blooms with an embossed floral design

in the pressed glassware.

Oneida Community Evening Star (1950-1961) provides more blooms

at the table and was a favorite antique mall find several years ago. . .

The 95 piece set of vintage flatware was a bargain price at what

the 14 knives alone would have cost at Replacements. . .

The floral equivalent of paying for a single rose

and receiving 2 dozen long-stemmed ones instead. :)

I cut some Daffodils that are blooming to join tulips from the grocery store and

to fill a favorite pair of bunny cabbage vases for a

celebration of spring bulbs and blooms!

Tip: Daffodils secrete a sap that can shorten the vase life of other flowers.

To use Daffodils in a vase with other flowers, cut them and put them in a vase by themselves

for several hours or up to overnight.

I typically change the water a few times and when I see the water is no longer cloudy,

I know the stems have secreted their sap

 and they’re ready to add to other flowers in a mixed bouquet.

Just be sure not to recut the stems again.

Napkins are folded to mimic a bunny. . .

a festive and easy way to elevate your table for spring or Easter!

And a bunny tail is provided by a mini carnation,

tucked in the back in the fold!

If you’re not familiar with this napkin fold, here is a graphic with the easy steps.

This napkin fold that works best if you press your folds with an iron along the way.

Here are the steps:

1. Start with a square napkin, right side facing up and pressing with an iron to remove any wrinkles.

2. Fold your napkin in half with the fold at the bottom and opening at the top

3. Fold up from the bottom again until you have a narrow rectangle. Press your folds with an iron so your rectangle of fabric is crisp.

4. Fold one edge of your napkin over to the other edge to find the middle for reference, then fold the right corner of your napkin up at a right angle.

5. Repeat with the left side of your napkin up to meet in the center; adjust sides if needed so you have a point at the bottom and your top edges line up together;  press with your iron.

6. Fold the right corner down to the center.

7. Fold the left corner down to meet in the center; your napkin should resemble a square; press your folds.

8. Take the right corner and fold it toward the center line to begin creating the bunny ears.

9. Repeat with the left napkin corner; press folds with your iron.

10. Flip your napkin over.

11. Fold the bottom triangle of the napkin up to meet the center fold; press with your iron.

13. Turn the napkin over again and tuck the right bottom corner into the small triangular pocket on the left side. Tuck in a mini carnation or pom pom in the back for a bunny tail if desired.

 A Cookies ‘n Creme Chocolate Bunny from Dollar Tree

provides a sweet treat at each placesetting.

 I used a triple star piping tip to pipe tinted frosting “grass”.

A stripe of frosting on the anchors the bunny so it stands upright.

More sweet treats and an assortment of candy eggs are hiding in the grass by the bunny on the plate.
