I was motivated by these gorgeous plates that I l-o-ve for so many reasons...chiefly...their price tag of $1 each!!
They are gorgeous standing alone, but I've never had quite the right base for these fabulous vintage salad plates that I picked up years ago at an auction for $10 for the set of 6... 
Let the Games Begin!
I had extra plates, so I wanted to use those as elevated serving dishes...I flipped some plain bowls upside down and made a little wreath to go around the base with a pink and white berry garland. 
Then I shopped the house for these little bowls that I thought I was going to collect after I picked up the vintage plates...
The carrots are for some-bunny who might drop by this weekend…
The tablecloth is double sided and I picked it up at Goodwill. I can't really remember where I got the quilted piece in the middle, but I liked the tie of frilly and vintage it provided on the scene.
Under each glass is a vintage crochet coaster (and I'm actually selling this set of 8 in my etsy store).
In each glass is a little stir stick...each one is different so it helps keep glasses straight when mingling...
The napkins are vintage linen with a bit of fancy work cut out on each.
I often don't set the end of our long table to keep the setting more intimate and to allow space for taller decor that would otherwise block conversation across the table...
I kind of like the way this little bird is peeking out to drop off a hyacinth and remind us of spring's arrival!!!
Well…any-bunny want to come over for dinner????

You have set a beautiful vintage table. Everything is so pretty.
I'd love to be a guest at your table! It all looks so scrumptious together. I love the table runner in the center against the other tablecloth.
What a beautiful table! The dishes are perfect!
Happy Easter,

ooooh, I love the dishes- the white ones are my fave! Your table looks so festive, I love how you've mixed and matched all your odds and ends that you've collected over the years. Nicely done!
Beautifully presented tablescape to celebrate spring.
What a lovely table setting it screams easter and spring.
What a lovely table. I like the glasses, they match perfect to the plates. All looks very nice.
Wish you a happy Easter.

Thank you for the inspiring post. I bought a set of new white "good dishes" with the plan to add another colour on top but I got discouraged looking for just the right set.
You've inspired to try out my local flea markets!

Thanks for your kind comments everyone!!
I have to admit Linda...a little bit of the lazies late at night stopped me from telling more about what I have and from where...
The white plates I picked up at TJMaxx...they are simply stamped with a B inside a fleur de lis...
The transfer plates are stamped Taylor, Smith, Taylor and numbered on the back...does anyone know about these?
I'm behind...but this is gorgeous! Beats the white plates and dollar tree bunny napkins my family got this year!
