Easter Week

I made these little chicks over the weekend. 
They are small and cute. 
I found the pattern HERE.
Cute vintage card with bunny cookie cutter found at a garage sale. 
This is how my dining room table looks until I set it for Easter dinner.All pieces made by my Aunt Ruth.
Here is is ready for Sunday. I will point out everything I got and from where. You'll be amazed.
Table cloth-the only thing purchased from an antique store. I couldn't pass it up with that pretty applique and hand embroidery. It's layered over a white and pink cloth that was from a garage sale.
Pink plate found on Craigs list-she threw in 2 extras. Silverware-from my Mom.
These cottage plates-found at a garage sale. I had seen them the day before at an antique store with the tablecloth. Of course I had to go back for the tablecloth.
Napkins and duck napkin holders, thrift store. Small pink plates, Goodwill.
Salt and pepper, silver candy dish-thrift store. Candleholders-made by my Aunt Ruth.
Wine glasses-thrift store-I only had 3 for the longest time and finally found the 4th.
You can see I didn't spend much money to get a pretty Easter table. I love the hunt and waiting game to find the right stuff. We're having our usual ham, asparagus, potatoes au gratin, carrot salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It never changes. I love making and eating this meal.
Joining Tweak it Tuesday. I definitely tweaked that tablescape. Check out more ideas HERE. I hope you have a wonderful Easter week.

    Your tablescape is so pretty and festive. Love the mixing of your dishware and that table cloth is beautiful. Your menu sounds divine. Love your little felt chicks. So cute all lined up together. I wish Easter would linger a bit longer this year. Easter hugs!

    Your table and menu both sound PERFECT for Easter!! I really love your pretty pink depression glass plates and that gorgeous embroidered table linen. And I think strawberry shortcake would be wonderful for a large family gathering, and not take quite as much time to make as a cheesecake.... so maybe I need rethink my dessert plans.

    Your table is darling Leslie! How wonderful to have Easter things made by your Aunt and I adore your embroidered cloth, so very sweet. And your chicks are so adorable! (I hope to get my feather tree out.)

    Well, I made it through the gathering of paperwork and making all the worksheets for my CPA and ended up with back strain - I do believe the two are connected. Ouch! And I figured out the other mess - the company used my SSN instead of the Trust ID number I gave them on the W-9. So this unnecessary trouble is all of their making. GRRRR

    I hope your holiday crafting and lovely table mean you've made it to the other side too!

    Happy Easter to you and your family!

    Your chicks are so sweet and your table is set beautifully. I love old tablecloths like yours and those cottage plates are very pretty. Your Easter menu sounds delicious. Too bad we don't live close to each other, otherwise I might hint for an invite. LOL

    Hi Leslie!
    Well we're like the walking dead over here ... I was so smug, I thought we'd made it through the flu season without succumbing, nuh uh! A classroom of fourth graders sneezing and coughing was too much and the husband brought it home. Dang dang dang! Easter dinner is looking like a can of soup or take out Chinese hahahhha. And Easter candy.
    My good news is my CPA sent the tax returns in the mail and we get a REFUND! Don't know how in the hoohah that happened but I'm celebrating. Hope you're victorious too.
    Wishing you and your dear ones a very Happy Easter!
    Sally
