Black & Yellow & Easter Babka & Give Away

Before I packed away the black and white polka dot dishes by Spode I found at Savers, I decided to do a scape.

Bargains 016 

In case you were in the hospital and didn't read my last post, :)  I got this whole basket for 12.00.  Did I mention they were Spode? :)

I have a black and white polka dot cloth, but I was afraid you wouldn't find your plate on it!

So I paired the polka dots with yellow and white checks.

Bargains 055

I have had this cloth  for years and it came with a little checked topper.

Bargains 060

Ruffled yellow charger from CTS.

Bargains 053

3 matching mugs grouped together with fresh flowers on a plate served as the centerpiece.

Bargains 049

Bargains 054

 

 

Bargains 056

Egg salt and peppers, CTS

Black flatware, Target

Bargains 051

Black stems, Pier One

Bargains 057

So how are the Easter preparations going?

Digging out all your rabbits and chicks?

table 2115

I love this ceramic basket by Debbie Mumm.

It opens so your can fill it with cookies or muffins.

table 2116

My dh is of Ukrainian heritage, so every Easter he makes Babkas.

table 2184

Babka is a sweet yeast bread, he puts raisins and cheese filling in his.  It is delicious. I can't wait for him to make it!

Here is a recipe from a bakery on LI.

table 2131

table 2132

table 2183

table 2192

These are from last year, he will make them Holy Week for Easter Sunday.

If you have only had the commercial kind, you don't know what you are missing! You can make many different varieties, cinnamon, prune, chocolate, whatever!

table 1587

A little give away tonight...not MLWest who is so generous, but I have an extra brand new set of these stack and fill  flower pancake molds from WSonoma.

If you are a follower, just leave a comment telling me you want in, and your favorite fruit on  pancakes!  :)

I am joining Susan , BNOTP, for Tablescape Thursday, Gollum for Foodie Friday,  and Jessa Irene at Holiday Haven for her Easter party.

Thanks for visiting.  I would also like to thank the non bloggers who read here.  Every week I get several emails from gals who don't blog, but tell me they tried a recipe or ask a question about a table.  I appreciate hearing from them too!

    I love the tablescape with the yellow pieces with the black and white. I have not seen the Debbie Mumm basket before. It is adorable. I am a big blueberry gal. I have a bowl of warm blueberries before bed, every night ! Oh, your hubby's bread makes me drool. Wish I were in your kitchen when that comes out of the oven!

    I like the black and white polka dots with the yellow and white check and the yellow chargers. What a cute Debbie Mumm basket. I have always loved Freihofers babka and I prefer mine toasted. I love blueberries on my pancakes and Joe would put those molds to good use on Mothers Day :-)

    Oh Kathleen Sweetie...
    What a beautiful share. I love these dishes, polka dots, can you get any better than that? Yep, by them being Spode. WOWZER. I love your table setting it looks so pretty with the gingham tablecloth.

    Your little Easter basket is just darling. I can think of SO many things I could put in this. How sweet.

    Love your share about the Easter Babka. I love bread, so I know it must be SO yummy. I may try this recipe. And your husband makes it for you? Oh my gosh, how wonderful. He has carried on this beautiful holiday tradition. I love that.

    Oh my gosh, I would so love to be in this drawing for the pancake molds. They would be perfect for the grandkids. I love strawberries most of all on top of pancakes. (I love chocolate chip pancakes though, and have all the grands eating them as well.

    Thanks sweetie for the wonderful opportunity to win these. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    Count me in for the give-away -- I guess I like either strawberries or blueberries on my pancakes! (I actually like the blueberries IN the pancakes!) And your table, as usual, is so pretty, love the black/white/yellow. And your husband's babka looks delicious! We used to get delicious babka when I lived in Brooklyn, oh how I miss it! If I get up the gumption, I will have to try the recipe you gave. Thanks for sharing.

    Hugs, my friend. I am off to bed in a few as I have had a long day trying to get the rest of the fallen trees out of this yard. We've had a mess, but they did not hit the house. Praise God!

I have been "hunting and gathering" for a while for black and white, and I have a ton of yellow check fabric. Someday God Willing it is going to be curtains in my beach house. But it might show up on a table that looks quite similar to yours...

    Wonderful table...just returned from taking the grandkids and their parents for a week in Disney World. I feel like I've been 'rode hard and put up wet.' Your polka dots are wonderful, and yes, I would love to have those pancake molds. Don't know if I'm too late for the drawing...so tired I might not have read correctly. I'll post again in a few days. Thank you for sharing your dotty design. Cherry Kay

    Do I want in???? Did the dish run away with the spoon???? Oh yeah! I want in! Great giveaway. And I go to two different Savers at least once a week and NEVER, EVER saw anything with that beautiful Spode name underneath. But I will keep looking...you have inspired me to continue my quest! LOL Thanks! Love all your tablescapes!

    What a fabulous find on that Spode! Black and yellow, you can't go wrong! Beautiful! I am going to try the bread recipe. It looks delicious! What kind of cheese did dh use inside?
    I do want in on your fabulous giveaway. Blueberries and a blueberry syrup with chocolate drizzle would be my choice on pancakes! Love your blog and I am a follower. Have a great week!

    Lovely black and yellow! As usual your tablesetting is lovely. It's a delight to see what you put together.
    Do I ever want "IN"! Those pancakes look just yummy! My fav fruit would have to be blueberries to top off pancakes.
    Blessings,

    I WAS in the hospital (for a few short hours anyway!), so I DIDN'T get to see your great bargain!!! Love 'em!!! Beautifully paired with the sunny yellow! I really like those ruffly yellow chargers, too! I have heard of Babkas (on "Seinfeld" several years ago when Elaine and Jerry were discussing them), but never eaten any. Looks divine! It's too late for the contest, but my favorite fruit IN pancakes is blueberries. I have never put any ON pancakes. I am SO behind everyone else in this life!!!
