Garden Inspired Easter Brunch ~
Garden starts, in an assortment of upcycled
tins make pretty little place markers at our
Easter table! Gave them a little
g~l~a~m treatment with
a touch of gold sequins! Plus, the tin & start combo doubles
as a nice takeaway! Ya want to see
more? Okay, picked up these smallish…
inexpensive burlap bags at my local feed store and
turned them into nubby & earthy
placemats!! Next, I added another touch of
gold with stripes of shiny
golden ribbon. L O V E.
For the menu card, I picked up some
seed packets , printed up the menu and simply
attached them with a gold seal, another easy
takeaway idea. For the centerpiece, I
went with earthy &
edible…colorful
Crudités in glass containers, arranged in
an old berry crate. A little of that cool mint, pea and
yogurt dressing I shared…for dipping.
Liking the orange marmalade &
carrot container! But what I really love about this
Easter table…is that
I’ve recycled and upcycled what I
already have… From those galvanized pails
I painted with chalkboard paint to
the place card tins…
…to my Grandmother’s soup
dishes! So soulful!
Plus, It’s an edible tablescape…right down
to the sweet,
sweet peas!
Off to the side, I pulled together a quick
Easter bar on our china hutch.
Why not right?
Prosecco &
thyme anyone?
There you have it, an earthy garden
inspred take, on the
whole Easter brunch thing.
Is your table set?
This is the best place setting I am so glad I found your blog. The spoon in the cool mint pea dip…I adore! Where did you find it?
I love the freshness of it all. Feels like spring!
Monica – I’m a friend of Monica of La Famiglia Design. The rabbit spoon was a gift from me last Easter and I believe I found it at Sur La Table. They probably still have them. I tied a strand of twine on the end for an extra touch.

Just found your blog via Loi of Tone on Tone.
What a delightful Easter table. You are so darn creative. I love the idea of the seed packets as a backdrop for the menu. I’m serving raw veggies as well on Easter and had forgotten the idea of standing them up in cylindrical vases. Thanks for the reminder.
Have a wonderful Easter and by the way, love your blog!
@Monica Thank you! You are so sweet! Yes, I received the rabbit spoon from Miss Janice!! As she said, it is from Sur la Table! Have a wonderful Easter! Monica
