A Little More Easter Midnight Madness

16 years ago

After seeing Jeanne's pretty cake plate with dome, thought I'd try. OPPS! my dome didn't fit back on so for tonight I left it like this. I just kept gathering and before I knew it, had way to much stuff out.

The bunny plate and all the egg and chick candles were my DM. I'm sharing a couple of my past painting projects on here since they are bunnies too. I moved a few things around and then deleted the main picture so it must be nigh, night time.

I have had my crystal cake plate with dome for years and bought two others at Walmart to paint on and that hasn't happened. Since I have all of these I might end up with three.LOL Will see what tomorrow brings. Oh, it is tomorrow!!!

Punk

Couldn't resist throwing this little card in. Thought I might use them for name cards in my tablescape also.

So, wanna come Party?


The large eggs with openings were some we had made years ago and have used them to decorate at the office. Do they look ok in here or should they have Easter grass instead of garland with them?


DD sent the box of green, white, pink and purple Holland Mints by Marich down. They are creamy peppermints in rich dark chocolate and a delicate minty shell. Will open and use on our Easter table. The speckled eggs on the cake plate are from TJ Maxx.


Had to put my lazy susan in to cover the plug in.


Received the hand quilted wall hanging from a friend. It has Easter colors so removed the rod and used it like a runner on the counter. The Camellia flower was a gift from another dear friend. It is bone china made in England.


Hope you can all make it to the party!

    Your ceramic bunny has the sweetest face. Unless you really want to adjust it, I'd say leave your cake plate arrangement alone and do another one for under the dome. The one you have now is just too cute to mess with.

    That bunny plate is great and your painted bunnies are terrific.

    Was it difficult to make those eggs with the little Easter accents inside? They remind me of the old fashioned sugar eggs.

    Nice job all around.

    So so cute!
    I agree with OA, unless you just want to rearrange it - I'd leave the cake plate alone. It's so cute just as it is.
    Such a cheerful looking little bunny on top , I looove the painted bunny and the plate pulls it all together very well.
    Job well done!

    Everything looks so cheerful! I love that bunny plate. Beautiful! You did a great job with your cake plate! Such a sweet bunny.

    Well, you know the painted bunnies are the thing I focused in on first--then had to go back to take in all the rest. The little bunny is a Donna Spiegel design right? I've done so many of her designs and just love them--sure wish she was still designing. (Big sigh)

    I agree with the others, use the dome elsewhere and leave this arrangement as is. I always love the pretty pastel colors and sweet little bunnies, thanks for sharing.

    Oh, punk, I am so happy you shared your midnight "gatherings!" I love your 'laughing bunny'in the first pic ...so cute! You are a good painter!! And your cake pedestal plate looks so cute with all the pastels & that bunny! Fun to see things displayed that were your DM's also. TFS! Jeanne S.

    Don't change a thing. I really like how you made a "stack" on the cake plate. Very cool idea!

    hugs, Karen

  • 16 years ago

    OA, thanks and the eggs were very easy to make.

    MM, thanks and it's nice to hear from others what catches their attention.

    Cindy, glad you like DM bunny plate and the cake plate. The bunny plate looks crooked in the picture but went and looked and it isn't.LOL

    Luvs, you are so right with the bunny's ID. I have other cake plates so will probably change out to one without a dome.

    Jeanne, thanks for the comments on my paintings. I gave the Some Bunny Loves You one to my DF today and they love it and it's already hanging when you walk into their home.
    I do love to use DM things. I have her white gloves ready and hope to display with my Easter table.

    Karen, thanks, the only thing I will have to change is the little pot under the bunny, it's for my Easter table. You'll see what I'm talking about later.

    You are all so fun and so sweet with your comments. Thanks again for all the fun on here.

    Phonegirl,
    Def leave those open faced eggs with your decorations in your vignette. They are very nice and detailed. The bunny plate is very cute. Everything looks wonderful - very fresh.

    I am living vicariously this year with respect to seasonal decorations so I really appreciate all the lovely pics I get to see.

    Mo, I'm glad you are enjoying all the photos the gals and Jim share. But I am hoping you are ok since you're not decorating this year. Sending good thoughts your way.

    hugs, Karen

    Punk, my apologies for being late to your party! I'm kinda "running on fumes" this week.

    I love your bunny and eggs plate and wouldn't worry about not having the dome on it. One of those 'if you don't tell no one knows' things. I really like the eggs on that plate, almost look real. What are they made from? The bunny plate is adorable and, of course, I love your paintings. The camellia is lovely and so useful for many vignettes and tablescapes. It's always nice to use things that have personal meaning. TFS

    J, Mo, Karen and LG, thanks for all the comments. The eggs were purchased at TJ Maxx and are very light weight. Not sure of the material they are made from. As you can see in the photo they have a hanger attached. I moved the bunny onto another cake plate. I will try to go back and redo so it looks like the before photos.

    While I was waiting for DH to shower I decided to redo the table with the bunny as a center. I bought the daisy napkin rings for my spring table but they didn't look right so I used a set of DM. But after spending alot on them had to add them to the picture.LOL

    The placemats are on the flip side from my Thanksgiving table and were DM. I bought a new pastel checkered tablecloth for this spring but didn't think about it till I got all these pictures downloaded. Another reason to play with table later. Don't have time to redo again but will share what it looks like now. Need to run and find DGS a birthday gift and get it in the mail.

    Punk,
    Are the pink plates Fiestaware? I'm looking for some small solid pink plates.

  • 16 years ago

    What a sweet face your bunny has! Very cute all nestled among the flowers and eggs. ;o) Love the pink and green together, very pretty combination. Your placemats and the pink plates look similar to some that I have as well. Mine will probably be making an appearance soon. Luvs

  • 16 years ago

    OA, my plates are Winsome China but they look like Fiestaware.

    Luvs, thanks, I'll be looking forward to your tablescape.

    Punk,
    Can you share the name of the pattern? You would think solid pink plates might be easy to find, especially this time of year, but NOPE!

  • 16 years ago

    OA, I can't find these dishes on the net so I took a couple of pictures for you. Hope this helps and you can tell me more about them. I ask DD where she bought them and she doesn't remember. Punk



  • 16 years ago

    Oh, I'm so glad I checked this thread again! Love the pink and green together, I've been thinking of doing that combo but not really sure yet what I have that will go together. Your placemats are beautiful and I love the pink plates. Thanks for the inspiration, Punk! I'm going shopping in my house.

  • 16 years ago

    Oh, that is so pretty, punk! Love the pink plate also...but your flowers look so pretty with ms. bunny! I love the lace tablecloth but am lookin' forward to seeing your pastel checkered..that will be so cute, too! Placemats & napkins are great for this t'scape...pink & green combo works so good! TFS! Jeanne s.

    Oh boy, I snagged me another Inspiration photo for our Easter album! Thanks, Punk. ;o)

    hugs, Karen

  • 16 years ago

    Punk,
    Thanks for going to all that trouble. I haven't had any luck yet. But I'm not giving up. Solid pink dishes (I'm looking for salad plates.) will show up eventually.
    I sure like your setting.
    Again, thanks for the photo.

  • 16 years ago

    It all looks good, that is a really cute bunny centerpiece and the pink plates are very much my style. I have some of those same eggs that I decorated when I took a class years ago. Putting them in the jar is a great idea, it looks really neat.

    Thanks ladies for all the sweet comments. I can hardly wait to do some more spring tables and an Easter one.

    Punk

  • 16 years ago

    Pretty table, Punk! Those placemats really caught my eye. I like them and the simplicity of your centerpiece, too! Great idea and that bunny on top is darling!
