This Easter I wanted to concentrate more on Jesus and less on the Easter Bunny. I think I found a way to mix the two. On pinterest, I found this beautiful little handmade twig cross with a scripture verse. I loved the simplicity of it. I made some for each setting. See end for link.
I used my new everyday dishes from Horchow and some willow placemats from Nell Hill along with a burlap runner. The center piece is a simple bunny and some flowers from my garden.
I got to use my silver place holders from Layla Grace that I received from HH for Christmas.
I made little Easter baskets out of clay pots and added burlap bunnies. I will show you how to do these tomorrow - super easy.
The crosses have a huge impact on the plates. They are simple and fragile and speak directly to your heart.
I wrote the tags by hand because I bought pre cut tags, but you could easily run them through the printer and cut tags yourself. I had to pick out bits of verses to emphasize because my handwriting is messy and big.
The picture doesn't really relate how beautiful these crosses are.
This is the original pic I saw on pinterest that sent me combing the backyard for sticks. Head over to gratefulprayerthankfulheart.blogspot.com for directions.

Janie, good morning. I love those little crosses. They are perfect. Your table is lovely and decorated so nice. I love those white dishes and can't seem to get enough of white dishes. They are wonderful. We are going to a big family get together with all the relatives after Easter service. It should be lots of fun (loud) and lots of food. Looking forward to this. I"m going to borrow this idea...it really is wonderful!
Have a blessed Easter.

Janie this is one of my favorite tables I've seen you do. I love everything about it, especially the crosses. So delicate and special.
What a great idea on the twig cross, Janie. I love the verses too. Your tablescape is just perfect for Good Friday, so pretty too and so solemn!...Christine

Janie, your table is a beautiful reminder of why we celebrate Easter. The rustic crosses are perfect with those pretty dishes and the square chargers (that I am trying not to covet!) The serene color scheme is perfect, and I know your family will be delighted to find the cute pots of candy! Thank you for your kind words about my Easter table, and have a blessed Easter!
