Welcome to my warren. The weather's bright and sunny, perfect for an outing. Don't I look familiar?
The missus pulled out the cabbage plates, oh she knows how I love to chew on those leaves!
Paired them with some fancy china, nito chargers and placed all the finery on a Matelasse tablecloth.
A table fitting for the one who just barely escaped MacGregor's garden, wouldn't you say?
Don't you want to come join us, the missus and me? I harvested some of the fruits of MacGregor's labor just for you.
We are quite a happy bunch, Ms. Sel and Mr. Poivre and myself.
Surrounded by eggs of many colors on some shaved wood Easter "grass", I am pleased to head up this fine table.
The missus made these herself. Made out of something called variegated thread and styrofoam eggs. Doesn't she know that my cousins will around on Sunday? Instructions HERE.
The menu is still up in the air... what would you like?
I think it will be carrots for me. Makes my eyesight all the better, you know.
Some high falutin' snowdrops in a pot.. Quite faux you know. But will do in a pinch.
It actually wasn't a warren of rabbits that made that mess behind the table, it was something called plumbers, a jovial sort. MacGregor would have loved those guys.. he just thought I made a mess.
Double napkins in a nito ring. Doesn't the sweet chartreuse button flower make a dashing appearance?
Thanks for dropping by. I loved your company. I wish you a blessed Easter, with enough time to reflect on the real reason we celebrate this day.

Wonderful, Marlis! Your outdoor table looks very inviting -- love those cabbage plates paired with the pretty china bowls! Your bunny is quite the charmer!
What a lovely table. The Easter eggs are beautiful, all of them. It's a wonderful time of year to decorate. Deb
I've been toying with the cabbage leaf chargers, too...haven't finalized the table, yet. Your bunny is a really special piece. You've done a wonderful job of maximizing a small table setting. I often find that more of a challenge than doing a large table. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Happy Easter! Cherry Kay
Hi Marlis! I love your sweet table. All the sweet bunnies and lovely dishes.
I wish you a blessed Easter.
be a sweetie,

Beautiful Marlis! There is something special about an outdoor table setting. Spring is perfect for this, and I love how you set this up. Under the tree "the missus" did a lovely Easter/Spring table. I love those cabbage plates, hope they don't get little nibbles from the bunnies outside!
Happy Easter……..

Lots of happy bunnies will gather at your pretty warren table!

Beautiful table & setting Marlis! I love your carrot-snacking bunny as your centerpiece and your cabbage plates paired with your bowls! Wishing you a joyful Easter :)
This is just the table I need for Easter Sunday. I think Ramon and I will be going it alone on that day, and this would be perfect for that intimate celebration. Never would have known the snowdrops were faux! Our money has been super tight around here over the last year, so I have taken to using good fauxs whenever necessary. As long as they're undetectable like yours, I say, "Right on!"
What a beautiful outdoor setting. It is calling to me...
Happy Easter Marlis,
Oh My That is SUCH A HANDSOME big Bunny! We just can't have too many bunnies! I "LOVE" your table. It's so quaint and Spring like!
Have a wonderful holiday week,
Big Hugs,
Donna
Sweet table! Love all your bunnies! Happy Easter.
Hurry for bunnykin and your place setting is perfection.... The outdoor setting, too, makes for quite a romantic time for two.
I love your outdoorsy theme with the cute bunny and cabbage plates. Happy Easter!
Marlis, the Matelasse tablecloth is lovely and I see you found it at an estate sale. Your outdoor table is very inviting, and I love seeing cabbage plates on an Easter table. Happy Easter to you and your family.
This is my favorite Easter table, Marlis! I am just swooning over that bunny!
Happy Easter, dear friend!

What an adorable table...love the bunny.
Happy Easter, Marlis!
Well, Mr. Peter Rabbit, your missus is a talented lady! Those eggs are amazing. I don't think I would have the patience to make them so perfectly! Those dishes are beautiful too, so be sure to tell her. Happy Easter. Linda
Your outdoor tables are always amazing Marlis. This is beautiful!
What a beautiful table Marlis! Love the cabbage chargers, how perfect can they be for this table! The Easter eggs are so pretty, each one.
Great bunny. Everything lovely. Have a blessed Easter.

What a lovely table and such a cute post too! Your bunny is very sweet.
What a sweet bunny you have, Marlis! The whole table is. So nice to be able to set tables outside again too, isn't it?...Christine
Mr. Rabbit is just so magnificent and majestic! I love him casually munching on a carrot. It was so nice to be invited into his beautiful warren. The weather looks perfect for a rabbit party and I can just see them frolicking in the back yard. I haven't done an outside table yet but we are getting there. Have a wonderful Easter.
Mr. Rabbit, is so handsome! Love your elegant table for 2 basking in the sunlight! All the perfect touches!
Thanks so much for sharing this at Let's Dish! Happy Easter, Marlis, many blessings!
I love how creative all this is. Love the little flower tucked into the napkin, the colors, those cabbage plates...makes my heart swoon.
Beautiful job.
Have a blessed Easter.

Your table is beautiful...I love that you were able to do your tablescape outdoors! Your bunny is adorable and the eggs are gorgeous. Very pretty plates!
Happy Eater, Marlis!
XO,

What a lovely outdoor table setting, Marlis! The matelasse cloth is beautiful & all the added textures of the wicker chargers & napkin rings contrast nicely with it.
Gorgeous vintage napkins that you paired with the RL chartreuse ones. Wish I could find some vintage ones like that. Estate sales will start up around here as soon as the weather improves a bit more.
Your big & little bunnies are adorable & the cabbage plates so perfectly appropriate with them.
I'm sorry you had to deal with plumbers (read EXPENSIVE!) recently. So many more fun things to spend money on, huh?
Have a Blessed Holy Week & a Joyeous Easter!
Hugs,
Rett
What a lovely outdoor table! The greens and browns are perfect. Love the layers of texture from the embossed plate to the woven charger to the Matelasse tablecloth. Your bunny is precious. Gorgeous napkins, and the button flower tucked into the ring is the perfect touch. Have a blessed Easter.
In love with your Easter! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Beautiful table Marlis. The bunny centerpiece is fabulous, wish he was my bunny eating guy. Love the China too, thanks for sharing.
Also I am your newest follower.
Just love this table set under the trees. It feels so restful. Have a lovely Easter...

Hi, Marlis. What a fun and pretty table! I just love that big bunny, and your story--I'm glad you put the cabbage plates out for him! :) I'm glad I saw your post. Happy and blessed Easter, Marlis. ~Zuni
Like the height of the sweet bunny with his wares. Happy Easter.
You are truly creative, Marlis, and I love your posts! That is one fine looking rabbit you have there, and you have set a darling table!
Happy Easter to you!
Hello dear Marlis,
I am giggling while browsing with your post today.
I feel I am in my teeny days looking with all your pretty bunnies. Love the shakers.
They are the fave.
Happy Easter, sweety.

Love the cabbage leaf chargers. Your table is adorable! Happy Easter.
Peter Rabbit is so lucky to have you set the perfect table for him. Thank goodness he escaped from Mr.MacGregor. Don't tell Peter, but he's adorable. Cute, really pretty table setting. Love the table linens.
Marlis, You set such a pretty outdoor table with the matelasse cloth and those cabbage plates. Such a cute big bunny and story, too. Have a wonderful Easter celebration.

Marlis, your tables are a delight to me, and this one is no exception.
Your tablescape title really struck my fancy because as I was visiting tablescapes today I actually thought to myself, "What is it about a bunny that is just so sweet". Then I read your title!! Too funny. Great minds think alike, Marlis. Your table is beautiful. The eggs you made are so sweet. Great idea! Happy Easter to you and yours, my friend.
Just beautiful!!! Love the cabbage plates against the chargers. Happy Easter. Your eggs are so so pretty!
Precious outdoor table setting! The bunny is too cute and the telling of his story is wonderful! I love your place settings. The chargers are great for indoor or outdoot use. Thanks for sharing! Happy Easter! Pam
