Easter morning at StoneGable begins with Church, Easter baskets and breakfast. Not just any breakfast, but one that has been a time honored tradition for years!
That being said, without a working kitchen during the StoneGable Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover our Easter Breakfast will be different this year. Delicious, but different and a whole lot simpler.
Sweet little egg shaped plates and matching egg bowls are the inspiration for this table. Spring green and adorned with little white daisies, they are eggs-actly right for an Easter breakfast tablescape.
The first course, a creamy milk chocolate hen sits in a natural nest of straw on an accumulation of complimentary dishes.
My beloved leaf and berry plate (HomeGoods), a square amber plate (Wegman's), a pretty white ruffled plate (HomeGoods) and the springy green egg plate (HomeGoods) stack to create a fresh crisp table setting!
Bight green and white flower inspired placemats pop on the snow white tablecloth.
A little egg shaped bowl at each place holds jelly belly jellybeans! Don't you love a meal that starts with candy? YUM!
The flatware is very plain in keeping with this crisp simple theme. Purchased at a local antique shop, they remind me of ones my grandmother owned. They have a gorgeous variegated and worn handle.
To continue the daisy theme, individual white creamers are called into service as vases. They are filled with daisies, yellow fluff and greens and placed above the fork at each setting. I just love all things individual. It's that little extra effort and pizazz that shows you care!
Daisies are so sweet!
Spring green basetweave napkin rings hold green linen-look napkins overlaid with starched white cotton napins. The cutout work in the napkins are a nice detail!
Green bubble goblets just HAD to appear on this table...
Salt and pepper... oh, cute bunnies (Pottery Barn) !
The centerpiece is very simple and uncomplicated. Lots of dasies and other grocery store flowers gathered in pretty green glazed pots.
A white bunny sits between he pots of flowers. Are you Mr. Cottontail?
Simple, crisp and so very sweet... literally!

I love any meal that starts and ends with candy! What a lovely table. Yet another work of art! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow on earth could create such a serene tablescape while your entire kitchen is torn apart? You continue to amaze & inspire me, Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteYou always go that extra step, above & beyond to make everything so fresh & special looking.
I hope you are surrounded by tons of loving family members this Holy Weekend.
Easter Blessings to you & yours!
fondly,

Another lovely tablescape! I have looking for chocolate hens for three years. Where did you find the hen?
ReplyDeleteI think you have one of the most gorgeous blogs in blogland. Each and every post never disappoints, but only gets better. I have no idea how you do it! Happy Easter. Lori L
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to come to a breakfast where someone gave me a chocolate Bunny for a starter!! Yvonne, you set the very best tables, I have not even started to think of what I will do...Wishing you a good week~ A stop by if you can to see pics of Rome's farmers market.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful table, Yvonne! Those chocolate hens are so unique. I don't think I've ever seen one before, but since it's chocolate, I probably wouldn't keep it long if I had one. *wink*
ReplyDeleteI love your placemats and they look so great with the daisy decorated egg dish in your stack. Those plates are too sweet!
I am going to have to make a run to HomeGoods to keep my eye out for those white berry-edged dishes. Do they ever still carry them? I covet them every time you use them.
I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter!
Tammy
The table looks so sweet and spring like. It's great that you get to fix an easy breakfast on such a busy day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
This is an incredible tablescape. This is my first visit to your blog, and it is beautiful. I'm now a follower.
ReplyDeleteYour table is so fresh and lovely Yvonne! I love your place mats and how that shade of green looks with white and brown chocolate bunnies! Hope you have a wonderful Easter! ~Delores
ReplyDeleteYour table looks lovely. So clean and fresh looking! Very pretty. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I am sorry but I just couldn't help it! I had to take a bite out of the chicken's tail -- they are so cute. Your stack is so pretty and I am glad the green bubble glasses showed up as well as the beautiful green placemats. I hope you have a beautiful Easter. Joni
ReplyDeleteWonderful setting. I love the placemats! they are gorgeous. Love the little vases at each place. Another lovely table. Happy Easter and many blessings. Come visit, I've got another giveaway going on.

ReplyDeleteWow, Yvonne. I'm with Cherry Kay: I want those placemats! They are gorgeous and so versatile. Perfect for this Easter breakfast table. Your gorgeous layers of dishes and the sweet flower-filled pitchers are making me smile tonight. Happy Easter to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty... very springy
ReplyDeletecielo
I just love those little chocolate roosters on the plates and the place mats are to die for! The entire table setting is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Stone Gable is such a lovely place to visit. Will surely be visiting more in the future. I love your tablescape- so sweet and fresh. Very inspiring! See you again!
Just beautiful, Yvonne! The placemats are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better.
A very blessed Easter to you and yours!
So attractive! I love those placemats! Your floral display is pretty and I love the chocolate bunnies! The green and white is so fresh and I love the stemware! Have a beautiful Easter!
ReplyDeleteOoops! Chocolate roosters (not bunnies)!
ReplyDeleteChocolate hens and jelly beans for breakfast...sounds like a kid's dream come true!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table, Yvonne. I love the bubble glassware.
Fresh and fabulous and fun. You always give us such great eye candy, yet I can really see loved ones sitting at your tables. Thanks for your sweet comments. I am so flattered to get compliments from YOU, oh Great One!
ReplyDeleteLinda @ A Toile Tale
Hi Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteYou have created quite a fun and sweet Easter tablescape for your family. I love the extra touches, chocolate rooster {where did you get those? awesome!} the fabulous placements, love them so pretty with the white and green dishes... I also love all the Easter decorations... down to the jelly beans!
Yvonne, your kitchen... I love the layout. My husband and I are planning a new kitchen... It's "on hold" right now while he's in Texas helping Jason get settled. Are you keeping your kitchen white? I love the light, white kitchens. They are so airy and bright. My cousin has cherry cabinets which are so lovely... but my area is small to average and white/cream would look so much brighter. What kind of cabinets do you have? I truly value your opinion!
Have a wonderful day tomorrow. Holy Thursday ♥ So grateful for the sacrifice that sets us free!
Bless you,
*Maria
I'm definitely on a sugar high after scrolling down through this post! Yvonne, each springy detail is making my heart sing. You always have such a special way of sharing a tablescape. The daisy flowers, the stack of plates with their wonderful textures and pops of color, and those gorgeous placemats pull this table together with oodles of personality.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! ~ Sarah
Oh, Yvonne...what an incredibly beautiful concept. I could just eat those placemats with a spoon! They are g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!!! The flowers are beautiful, and everything just looks fantastic! This is a beautiful, beautiful table. I hope you and your family are blessed with a peaceful and joyous Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteAs if your gorgeous tablescape wasn't enough, you even start your meal with my favourite food, CHOCOLATE! Love all your touches especially the individual little daisy arrangements. The bubble green stemware goes perfectly with the egg shaped dishes. The white bunny looks great up against the colours of your floral centerpieces.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Blessed Easter!

As usual Yvonne your table is just superb!!! You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful tablescapes. You are my inspriation...

Beautiful table setting - just right for Easter!

What a beautiful table for breakfast! I love your fresh green & white table & I adore those placemats! Your creamers with your daisies are the perfect touch! Fresh & inviting... no wonder the chickens are roosting there :-) Happy Easter~
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful table Yvonne, and I can't believe with your kitchen in such a mess that you have the time to pull everything together. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteYour Easter table settings are so lovely. I love your white plates. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yvonne! My daughter, Amanda and I will be "window shopping" cabinet styles again after our baking day at my sister's.
ReplyDeleteI too, LOVE, a light, bright kitchen. Although we love wood and grain, my husband keeps saying that buying woodgrain cabinets is like shopping for furniture... he just wants a kitchen that works.
Our oak builder's grade cabinets look fine from a distance... and the uppers are okay...but the bottom cabinets took a beating while raising a family. They didn't hold up very well. You were so fortunate to find a craftsman that created such a beautiful workspace. Your cabinets truly are lovely. {and the space is a great work area... perfect!}
I will look forward to seeing the soapstone sink and the rest of the project!
Have a very HAPPY EASTER, Yvonne!
Enjoy the love of family, friends and most importantly the eternal love of Our Father ~ who gave us the most incredible gift of His Son.
♥ Maria
Cute, cute, cute as always in a sophisticated way! :) I especially love those placemats and your stemware and the napkin rings. It all makes for such a festive table.
ReplyDeleteOh! I have some of those ity grapevine wreaths on their way to my house. I hope they arrive in time to use them on my Easter table. thanks for the source.
Happy Easter to you Dear Yvonne!

Yvonne:
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great table for an Easter breakfast - crisp. But how you accomplished this between a kitchen reno and back surgery is beyond me. It is splendid!

Sucn a gorgeous table pretty girl. i love ALL your plates, the charger is great and the scalloped ones are so pretty! I love the bright light kitchen, me too. We remodeled our totally kitchen with wood cabinets too. Love your placemats, napkin rings and flatware, it means, everything!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Easter!

The composition is a knockout as always. PLEASE tell me where you found the placements -- I am in love with them.

Yvonne, your table is Easter and Spring perfection. I love your placemats.
ReplyDeleteI am taking off of work tomorrow, and I will be working on our Easter breakfast and Easter dinner tables.
Your table is so fresh and springy! Those placemats are just lovely. I love the idea of putting the little flower arrangements at each place setting. Thank you for sharing another beautiful table with us! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I feel for you, having taken the kitchen down to the studs! I love the redo of the island, that is wonderful adding the bun feet.
ReplyDeleteTwo cute easter tables. I missed the last one as we were out of town. I would love a bite of that chocolate hen sitting there so innocently. Have a wonderful Easter.
FABULOUS table setting! Those chocolate chickens are the perfect addition.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Easter table! I too love the placemats. The green/white combination is one of my favorites anywhere and I love it in this tablescape. You just can't beat chocolate for breakfast!!
ReplyDeleteYou make me crave that chocolate hen. The table looks so pretty. I still haven't found Easter china that I like well enough to buy. I only wish I had a HomeGoods that I got to go to often. I only go when we travel. Yours are darling! Menu sounds good...I think we have decided on steaks on the grill!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, let me just say I LOVE your first course of chocolate hens! Where did you find those?? They are darling. I also really adore those placemats. Maybe we'll see those again in future tablescapes? I'm impressed you're doing Easter breakfast with an in-progress kitchen reno!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteAs always, another spectacular setting. Thank you so much for continuing to inspire us with your wonderful talent. Have a great Easter holiday.
What a lovely table in every way. I adore the Spring green and your colorful jelly beans with the charming chocolate rabbit. You have such talent and I enjoy my visits here. Happy, happy, Easter Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteHi friends!
ReplyDeleteSo many have commmented on the place mats in this Easter post. They were purchased at HomeGoods last spring.
The chocolate hens were purchased from a local Chocolate shop. Evan's Chocolates makes beautiful chocolates using antique molds. They use Wilbur chocolate. It is the creanmiest swiss style chocolate. Web site: http://www.evanscandy.com/. It is so yummy! Two of the hens did not make it off of the table. YUMMY!
Thanks for asking!
xo Yvonne
Now that is a first course my children would eat without a bit of cluck or fuss. :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Easter breakfast table - and what a way to start!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a lovely Eater weekend,
Mimi
