Preppy Pink & Green Spring / Easter Tablescape

Happy spring, and welcome to Panoply! Today I'm sharing a Preppy Pink & Green Spring / Easter tablescape with you. Whether your region is still waiting for the weather to shows signs of the new season, or you're more than a month of enjoying it already, I hope you'll be inspired.

Today's tablescape is among a cadre of table stylists I've organized for a spring tablescape blog hop.

The complete list of those participating will be found later in this post of mine, and you'll be able to hop directly to each one with the links provided. 

My tablescape began with a set of dessert plates purchased last year, a creation of Paige Gemmel. Her collections have been sold through various retail venues, most notably Anthropologie and Caspari. This Staffordshire-esque design was sold two ways - as a set of four bunnies, or as one in set of bunnies, dogs, monkeys, and lions. 

 I was able to find a set of four of the bunny plates, and later found a set of the matching napkin rings (source list provided further in my post).

Believe it or not, I was planning to go with a blue & white base of textiles and chargers on this tablescape, picking up on the chinoiserie flower pots in the plate design. While the blue & white made for a nice look, the preppy pink and green ultimately won out this time. The main reason why is pictured below - that quilt as tablecloth!

I absolutely loved this quilt when it was among a huge stash of quilts my Panoply sisters and I acquired last summer and divided among ourselves. Look at the detail of the appliqued dogwood flowers (upper right frame), the scalloped edges (lower right frame), and the overall hand work of the quilting. I just love quilts that are hand worked, and they are becoming a thing of the past. 

The dinner plate used today is part of my vintage Dorothy Draper for The Greenbrier Hotel signature rhododendron pattern. The pink matched perfectly with the dessert plate, and a set of pierced patterned, white luncheon plates sits between the pinks.

The rest of the tablescape came together rather simply, using items from my seasonal rotation of decor. Vintage items from estate sales include a bunny tureen, a MacKenzie-Childs fluted compote, a Blenko glass basket and eggstra special glass eggs (which I made at Blenko!), and some hand-painted stone eggs.

I also dressed the rest of the dining room a bit more for spring. The buffet across from the table has a large Italian majolica platter I bought at an estate sale last summer.

The bookcase to the left of this buffet is dressed with the Veronica Beard party plates I used for my St. Patrick's Day table, along with a few other seasonal decor items.

In complete transparency, I must tell you what I did soon after I completed my tablescape and had taken my photos.

I had just sold two quilts in our antique mall booth, and because it's perfect timing for the dogwood motif, I stripped the tabletop and took the quilt into our booth space the week before this post went live. Nothing is safe in my house when I do so much vintage shopping. I foster some things longer than others, but most everything is game for resale. (the quilt above mine belongs to my sister, also from that same stash acquired, with same motif, just a different color base).

Although I will re-use table elements to style various tablescapes through the seasons, something as unique and seasonally appealing as this quilt for tablecloth is not something I thought I would re-use. Unless it was for an actual bed, but that's a story for another day.....

I did, however, reset the table. But as you can see from the before and after photo below, the quilt made for a much nicer tablescape!

True to my style, the following is my list of sources used for my tablescape. There's no other motive in providing this list than to let you know how I source things, and to give you ideas for doing the same or similar.
