Beautiful table. Love the china and centerpiece.

Hi, Anita! Wow...very, very, very pretty! I love the combination of elements. That always makes for such a great table because there are so many unexpected pieces that complement one another. You did a magnificent job of that here! I have a long wooden box that I have been reluctant to use as a centerpiece, but seeing yours makes me want to at least give it a try. Filling it with burlap to soften it and add another dimension of texture was a wonderful idea! I love those birch logs...somebody's birch tree is in grave danger around here! :-) Have a wonderful Easter weekend, and best wishes to you as you work on your new line of aprons and other home accessories!

Good morning Anita, I love your idea for the rustic and elegant. It turned out wonderful. And how can you go wrong with glass jars, flowers, wood...it is lovely. I'm your newest follower, on Pinterest too. I see that you like Melmac, I love it too and have collected a lot of pink...would like more pieces too. Lovely blog.
Have a blessed Easter.

Simply beautiful, Anita. I enjoyed some lilacs on my table this spring too. Their frangrance is so yummy. Thanks for sharing!

Simple and elegant! That box is perfect for your table vignettes.

Anita,
What a lovely table! That China is stunning, I've never seen a pattern like it. the green in the china goes so well with the lilac green and purple! Just beautiful!

Beautiful job, Anita, love how the light is shining on your centerpiece of lilacs. I have been waiting for my lilacs to bloom so I can use them in a centerpiece. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous table, I love vintage Noritake. I am collecting pieces of a certain pattern and hope to post about it very soon. I LOVE lilacs, my bushes here haven't bloomed yet. I remember you have gorgeous lilac dishes, too! I cannot wait to see your line of accessories. I am sure they are going to sell out quickly. Have a happy and blessed weekend with your family. xo

i can smell them right through the screen! the scent always takes me back to childhood and fills me with cheer.

hope you'll visit my blog and giveaway http://hellolovelyinc.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-giveaway.html

Your table is so lovely and how nice to have the fragrance of lilacs, and the rustic visual look of your birch bark candles and the burlap. So pretty. Happy Easter.

Very pretty Anita! I love this mix too. Happy Easter to you and your family!

Oh Anita, that centerpiece... I love it! That box is the best thing! My favorite part of this display is the birch candle holders. Glorious!!!! I am so behind with all this crazy moving business, but I wanted to wish you a very Happy Easter!

What a fantastic centerpiece- so natural and beautiful!

Gorgeous, Anita! The combination of china and more rustic elements is very appealing. I especially love that overhead shot of the table! Have a blessed Easter!

I would say: beautiful, "kind of rustic" and elegant. I love your centerpiece box, it's fabulous! Totally lovely Anita, with pretty dishes too. Have a very blessed EASTER SUNDAY.

As always you are amazing. Love your tablescape! I want me a wood box now! Happy Easter. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Isn't is amazing that we had lilacs in time for Easter? I picked a bouquet for the living room and I smile each time I catch the scent. I imagine that your guests for Easter dinner were doing a lot of the same thing: smiling! Simply stunning, once again!

Gorgeous Lilacs!
Anita, I luvvvvv lilacs. One of my favorites and we had a super year for them to enjoy. They bloomed about a month early and took me by surprise. Your table setting is lovely and the table runner so very pretty. Dishes and all, beautiful. Hope you had a blessed easter.
We serve the risen Saviour. Hallelujah!

I've just found your blog and I LOVE what I see! I'll be back again and again to read all of your posts. Your home is wonderful - so warm and inviting - and I love the way you put the rustic and elegant together. My nineteen-sixties vintage ranch-style home has much the same layout as your living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway but it is not open. I've dreamed of remodeling and opening up the kitchen - now I know that's REALLY what I want. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love your table setting. Burlap is great and so are lilac's.I would have trouble finding birch wood, these day around here. I am seeing less and less of these gorgeous trees. My favorite picture is from a distance where it's easy to see just how large it is. You did a fabulous job !!! beautiful table!
