Well dear friends, Easter day is on it’s way, and spring has truly arrived here in Kentucky! Over the past three weeks we have had the most beautiful show of daffodils and I have been savoring every minute of their beauty.
When I was coming up with ideas for the Easter Tablescapes Blog Hop hosted by sweet Chloe of Celebrate and Decorate, I was hoping to use lots of fresh daffodils in my design. This week the daffodils peaked, so the timing of the daffodils in full bloom and the tablescape hop could not have been more perfect!
If you are a regular blog reader then you will know that I love daffodils (and all spring flowers!) Today I am so excited to share my Vintage Dishes and Daffodils Easter Table For Two and to be joining joining 21 blogging friends for this inspirational blog hop! You will find a complete list of hop participants at the end of this post. If you are coming over from Our Crafty Mom or if you just happened to be visiting today, I am so happy you are here. Now let’s take a look at my little Easter table for two!
This tablescape was inspired by all the daffodils and some pretty vintage dishes I scored for a few dollars at a thrift shop back in late winter. I only found two plates, two soup bowls, two salad bowls, a sugar bowl and and creamer, so I didn’t have enough pieces to do a full tablescape on our large farm table in the dining room. Just for fun I moved our small drop leaf breakfast nook table to the center of the music room and set up a pretty little vintage Easter tablescape.
(Note: For a few photos I did have to move one glass to the wrong side of the place setting just so you could see more of the centerpiece.)
I pulled up our two vintage wing chairs for seating and added some pretty green checked pillows to tie in with all of the green I used in the tablescape. Lace place mats from Hobby Lobby, linen colored napkins and a DIY painted burlap runner add a bit of vintage farmhouse style and texture to the table. I also added a thin runner of sheet moss in the very center of the table. You may recognize my .60 Dollar Store green stemware from my Rustic Farmhouse St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape. I just love these glasses!
I am smitten by these vintage dishes that I scored for less than $10.00. The pretty yellow flowers aren’t daffodils, but it all works.
The colors are so versatile, you might just see the dishes turn up again in a summer or even a fall tablescape. The pattern is Braemar English Staffordshire Classic White by J & G Meakin, England. I will certainly be on the lookout for more pieces on my junkin’ adventures this spring and summer.
The table is a bit too small for a big centerpiece, so I put the small whitewashed dough bowl that I shared in my Spring Is In The Air Dough Bowl Display in the back of the table instead of the center. It is filled with shredded vintage book paper (Easter grass) a burlap carrot, mossy Easter eggs, yellow and green Easter eggs, and vintage bottles filled with faux white tulips, bluish-gray pussy willow branches and several daffodils freshly picked from our yard.
The pussy willow branches and daffodils tie in beautifully with the flowers in the dish pattern.
I love the pretty sacred Easter egg in the dough bowl which perfectly matches the dishes and tablescape theme too. I always like to incorporate sacred references in my Easter vignettes. After all, Jesus is the real reason for the Easter season! Oh and isn’t that little chick just the cutest? There are three of them chirping around through the daffodils, herbs, and Easter eggs that are scattered down the middle of the table.
I just can’t get enough of these adorable little baby chicks that I bought at Hobby Lobby last year. I found the vintage daffodils postcard back in March for fifty cents at an Antique shop and I adore it too.
To complete my Easter table for two I just had to add a bunny of course! In the background you can see another pretty thrifted bunny that I shared in my Spring Home Tour.
My little bunnies just keep hopping from room to room and I never know where they will end up! At first I was going to use this bunny for today’s tablescape but he was a just a little too big.
I also tried out this bunny on the table but he was a bit too big too. Nevertheless, he looks at home sitting on top of the piano anyway. I love his music note and French script ears and torso!
I think my little white shabby bunny is just the right size.
I really had so much fun putting this tablescape together because I love daffodils, I love green, and I love spring! Most of all, I love that I did not go out and spend a single penny on this tablescape. I have had the dishes in storage and everything else was pulled from other spring vignettes or my Easter stash. All the beautiful daffodils were free gifts from nature!
I hope you enjoyed my Vintage Dishes and Daffodils Easter Tablescape for Two!

Amber I always look forward to your tablescapes because I want to see what musical influence you have used this time. And you didn’t disappoint, as your first photo was the most adorable vignette. I love the way you used the sheet music and bird and flowers. When you showed your intimate table, I became more enamored with all the pretty yellow, bargain dinnerware and sweet little chicks! Love it Love it Love it. Great job and Happy Easter to you and yours as we approach this special day of the resurrection.
April 5, 2019 at 9:15 amThank you so much Kari! Thank you for visiting and for your thoughtful comments. Happy Easter!
April 5, 2019 at 11:00 amAmber so an inviting, cozy table! It will inspire me for tablesetting on Easter when it’s just hubby and me — often my adult sons can’t come home and it’s a holiday when our siblings and their families can’t all gather together. I love the intimacy of it. And I’m going to tuck away your idea of shredding old book pages to make “grass”, also lovely for filling gift bags.
April 5, 2019 at 9:24 amOh, Amber, you make me feel like you spend every minute decorating every inch of your home for the seasons and holidays! Not only is your table exquisite in every detail, but the vignette of music pages rolled into the vase with the tulips and daffodils tucked into them is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible styling talents! I am looking forward to the Hop into Easter hop on Monday!
April 5, 2019 at 9:52 amI saved your table for last my sweet friend. I knew it would be spectacular, and well..it is! You have such an eye for design and the tablescape speaks well of your talents. It is a joy to be on the hop with you my darling friend. Your tablescape is perfect ( even with the glass on the wrong side, wink)
April 5, 2019 at 9:53 amYou are so very sweet dear Katherine! Thank you so much!
April 6, 2019 at 1:41 amThis could not be any cuter Amber! Your daffodils are incredible and what life and fun they bring to your pretty table and vignettes! You have such a magical way of blending in your vintage touches and everything always looks so fresh and welcoming! I always enjoy my visits to the yellow brick home!
April 5, 2019 at 9:59 amThank you so much Jenna! I love when you visit too! Happy Easter!
April 6, 2019 at 1:36 amLovely as always Amber. Those dishes are great and you styled them beautifully. xo- maryjo
April 5, 2019 at 11:19 amThank you MaryJo!
April 5, 2019 at 11:39 pmSwoon Amber… I’m in love with your sweet table for two! Your wonderful vintage dishes set the stage for a beautiful centerpiece with your eggs, flowers, sweet chicks and vintage post cards. (I would have sworn those chicks were vintage and not from HL!) I can’t tear my eyes away from your wonderful enlarged and framed ‘Spring Flowers’ sheet music and spring vignette your creative music sheet bud vases for your spring bulbs. As always it’s a treat to blog hop with you. Happy Easter. ♥
April 5, 2019 at 12:31 pmOh thank you so much Mary! I am so glad you like it. Happy Easter!
April 5, 2019 at 11:39 pmOh Amber, your daffodil tablescape is absolutely delightful! You know I love vintage transferware, too! Blessings, Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction
April 5, 2019 at 5:41 pmThank you Cecilia! I am purging lots of junk but I just couldn’t pass up those dishes, you know how it goes! 🙂
April 6, 2019 at 1:38 amAmber, I immediately fell in love with your beautiful dishes. What a gorgeous find! And so stunning for this Easter tablescape! You made the perfect choice with yellow daffodils, sweet little chicks, white lace and moss . All together it definitely drives home…Spring! And it really compliments your lovely dishes. Happy Easter!
April 5, 2019 at 5:54 pmOh thank you Marsha! I think “pink” for Easter so it was different not using any pink and just concentrating on green and yellow with a little blue, but all of those colors are definitely early spring and Easter too, so why not? And with all of the free daffodils in our yard, it all just came together.
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
Happy Easter!
April 6, 2019 at 1:40 amYour dishes remind me of Johnson Brothers Bouquet, and their Spring Bouquet pattern. I love ironstone, especially if it has some color! Great tablescape. I prefer the ones like yours, where the centerpieces aren’t too overwhelming. Just dropping in from Funtastic Friday.
April 6, 2019 at 8:27 amAmber, Your daffodils are exquisite! So perfect!
April 6, 2019 at 8:47 amI love your table for two set up in the music room. It’s fun to change up, isn’t it? Your centerpiece is lovely and your sweet egg with the cross is the pièce de résistance!
I love love your Happy Easter pillow. Where did you find it?
It’s fun blog hopping with you. Have a wonderful Easter.
Who wouldn’t feel special dining at this sweet spring table!? You have brought together such beauty, elegance, and whimsy!
April 6, 2019 at 9:41 amThose dishes, chicks, bunnies, and daffodils are all about spring and make for a delightful table. Thank you for sharing.
April 6, 2019 at 10:59 amAbsolutely stunning! I love daffodils too. We don’t have any yet here in Wisconsin, they usually appear in May.
April 6, 2019 at 11:41 amAmber, you incorporate music so wonderfully in everything you do! I should do more of that since we love music. Your table for two is so Easter perfect. I love your dishes that your scored, I have always loved the pattern when I see it. Your daffodils set the stage for this lovely table and a I am so glad they gloomed at just the right time. You do vintage and vignettes perfectly!
April 6, 2019 at 7:33 pmYour table is so charming Amber. Love the vintage look. Those dishes were a great find, so pretty and yet elegant. Your vignettes are so sweet, the way to you add those music sheets to your vases. The daffodils are gorgeous. They say spring has arrived. A perfect table for two.
April 7, 2019 at 10:37 amI always look forward to your tables, Amber – there is always so much inspiration and spirit in every one of your settings. Each one is like a secret view into a magical world! Once again, your table is perfect – even more so for having the glass on the wrong side! Thank you for sharing!
April 8, 2019 at 4:28 pmI have a full set of this vintage china plus serving pieces. I always use this at Easter. I even found some egg cups that match perfect, that I put chocolate eggs in at each place setting.
April 8, 2019 at 5:17 pmOh how nice! Love the chocolate eggs in the egg cup idea!
October 3, 2019 at 10:04 pmYour tables are always full and lush and I love them! Hi-five for shopping your home to style this gorgeous table. The dishes are so pretty and are definitely season neutral. Daffodils are one of my favorite spring flowers also and you’ve inspired me to go out and get some for the holiday. Have a great holiday and it’s been a pleasure to hop with you.
April 10, 2019 at 7:26 pmOh Amber, I adore all of the elements in your beautiful Easter table for two.
April 11, 2019 at 8:29 pmThank you for sharing it at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring it at tonight’t party and pinning too.

Kerryanne
I totally love your English china; it’s so perfect for Spring and even anytime ! Your Easter spread for two is gorgeous too.
April 13, 2019 at 3:32 pmHappy Easter season.

I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw your table setting with the Braemar china!! I inherited my aunt’s set about 20 years ago (some pieces are missing, but I have enough to do eight place setting) and honestly have never been inspired to use it much. I keep thinking to take the set to the thrift shop, ha! But now!! Seeing your masterful touch, you have inspired me to get it out and try my own hand at styling a table with them. Thank-you, I love your blog and look forward to studying every picture in detail. Elaine
April 14, 2019 at 11:02 amOh wow! Your comment just made my day! I am so glad you were inspired and that you are enjoying my blog. Please visit often!Thank you so much!
April 14, 2019 at 11:57 pmThat is just the sweetest table ever!
April 14, 2019 at 2:06 pmThanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!
Blessings,
Cindy
Amber, thanks for sharing your beautiful tablescape at Vintage Charm! Pinned!
April 15, 2019 at 10:04 pmYou know I love tiny tablescapes! 😉 So pretty, Amber! Thanks for sharing at Homestyle Gathering!
April 16, 2019 at 1:13 amDarling table, love all the decorations. How lucky to find the cute dishes for so cheap!
April 17, 2019 at 2:56 pmLovely decor and great photos!
April 17, 2019 at 5:13 pmI always enjoy your decor whether it is a tablescape or an entire room. I must have poor soil, despite generous doses of Miracle-gro. I am convinced God gives with daffodils with short stems so that if I am going to smell them, I must get down on my knees! We still have snowbanks in shady areas here in Maine so it will still be a LONG time before I see my daffodils. Got foolish and left my tulips pot that went from church to her dinner tablebehind at her house! Pooh! Those dishes are gorgeous, too!
