I decided to set up an Easter table for fun last week! We are organizing Easter, so I am looking forward to it. Sometimes I set the table early so I can think about what we want to use. Do you ever do that? It helps me prepare so I know what to wash, what linens and centerpieces I can use, or what I need to add to the mix. Other times I improvise it at the last minute! That works too.
It’s fun to mix and match dishes, patterns and colors. That’s one of the reasons I made sure we had glass display cases and shelves and even little nooks in our renovation. We don’t have a big house or storage areas to store a lot of things, but I love seeing and using the pretty things I’ve collected!
This time I think we can fit three more around this table, so I’ll have to adjust my place settings! For future vacations I will have a second table that we can set up when we have more family here. This is another reason we wanted the banquette, to have more space to add an extra table!
Last year we set up an Easter table with these same dishes in our construction zone, so I was hoping to have a real dining room this year. You just make the best of what you have, right? It was fun but of course I was dreaming about the finished space when I set the table on the sawdust. 🙂
We now have our little dining area to gather around and it will be very special to make new vacation memories in this house!
Will you organize Holy Week this year?

This book pot It’s so loved I couldn’t let it go. It also has a drainage hole if you want to plant in it. I thought it was a fun “non-traditional” springy addition to the table.
