The Easter Table
Oops there is so little time – but you want your Easter table to be special for company – or maybe you’re like me and it will just be for the family. Either way – there are some easy – quick and LAST MINUTE ways to make set a beautiful table – whether it’s for 20 or 2.
If I were back in Georgia – I would run to the store and find some hydrangeas (they really aren’t in bloom yet) – cut them off and put them together with the blue willow china of my mother’s – and that would be my setting.

Or I would borrow a couple of the many place setting of pink willow china that my mother-in-law owns and this would be a fabulous setting

But since I am far away in Phoenix and the sun is already starting to set us up for really warm weather – why not just go for it and celebrate the warmth with a fabulous orange setting (I love orange).

But honestly – since it’s only 2 days away – I’ll just grab what is in my own china cabinet – pull out one of my favorite French tablecloths and keep it simple. Although I am tempted to make a quick run to Crate and Barrel for these fabulous purple plates – wouldn’t they just make it!! And the other color are fabulous too – maybe they will be on Sale if any are left after Easter.
Crate & Barrel
If I have time on Saturday afternoon – I’ll run into town and purchase one of these fabulous cakes from Tammy Coe Bakery – how perfect -
TammyCoe cakes, Phoenix, AZ
Or better yet – I’ll make these very simple but elegant cupcakes from Food Network – Strawberry-Lime Cupcakes.
For my centerpiece I’m going to use brown eggs and hopefully purple flowers – inspired by this fabulous egg arrangement – just a little more “country” to go with my arrangement.

A quick trip to the store for flowers and I will finish up my simple table to a very quick Easter breakfast with my family. Hope it turns out like this fabulous one from Women's Day.
