Good evening, Dishers, and welcome to this week’s meeting.
I hope those who are preparing for Easter have all your chicks in a row, and your eggs colored!
Speaking of chicks, the last time Alma, The Tablescaper, and I were at CTS, she pointed out this very stylin’ Plus Size chick.
She became the centerpiece, nestled in a bed of paper grass, with eggs and chicks and flowers tucked in.
She lights up via a battery pack that fits in her, umm, bottom!
I made the tablecloth from wonderful fabric heavy weight from Duralee. The design has a green and white cord going through .It was a remnant at the Outlet, and at a dollar I hopped to it, quick as a bunny. :)
Salt and pepper bunnies from Christmas Tree Shop.
Purple flatware by Cambridge, a Cmas gift from Alma, green ruffled charger from CTS, orange dinner from $ Tree, Lime polka dot plate trimmed in white, clearance at HG, $1.60.
Orange stripe salad plate by Syracuse china from the .99 store.
Sweet grosgrain ribbon trimmed napkin with embroidered carrots from Pottery Barn. Purple ceramic napkin ring by Villeroy and Boch, with a carrot from CTS .
Pink stem from CTS and tumbler from .99 store. Little pink chick stirrer from my friend, Pam, via a thrift shop.
Egg topiary name holder from CTS, as well as the pink ramekins.
The glass egg holder is from WSonoma Outlet.
Definitely an EGGS plosion of color compared to last week’s table!
Do you have traditional foods you always make for Easter?
We always make Babka , as my dh is of Ukrainian heritage.
Recipe HERE
Snow peas filled with crabmeat are a favorite appetizer for the Easter meal.
The Egg cupcakes are a must, for the kids and adults alike! Put the jelly bean on right before serving so it doesn’t bleed into the whipped cream.
The yolk is cream cheese icing tinted yellow. I make some with chocolate cake too. They are dipped in chocolate, a bit messy for sure! Recipe HERE
If I don’t see you before then, have a wonderful holiday!
We celebrate all of Easter Week, it doesn’t end on Sunday, that is only the start!
Happy Easter! I am off to fill 120 eggs we need for the egg hunt!

Great to have some "plus-size chicks" around at Easter - makes one not feel so bad about eating all that chocolate! Messy or not, I'd love one of your egg cupcakes - they look so yummy and fun! Very pretty t'scape and the tablecloth is a terrific backdrop - can't believe the price for that material. Happy Easter, Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteLove all the food you prepare. It looks delicious. Such a cute table. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteLove those pretty napkins K, the Babka looks great too! Happy Easter Week, have fun:@)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Kathleen! Your post is gorgeous and delicious as always.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, I always try to stop by early to check out your table. I love all your bargains of course!! Those carrots on the napkin rings look REAL!! I have those same HG polka dot plates and love them for Spring. The layers of dishes add so much color and texture. The light-up bunny must be sooo cute at night. Your grands will love that. Happy Easter, dear Kathleen, to you and your family.
ReplyDeletep.s. Thanks for hosting! xo
The mega bunny adds a perfect dose of whimsy to your Easter table. You're filling 120 eggs...now that has to be an act of true love! I adore your color combination this week. I always marvel at your budget friendly resources....sounds like a destination vacation idea to me! Happy Easter Week! Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteWOW, are you ever ready!! Love your sweet little Big Mama chick...she has sass! All your pretty colors play beautifully together.
ReplyDeleteThe snow peas filled with crabmeat look scrumptious & are so artfully arranged. I haven't even STARTED my baking yet. too busy sewing! LOL
Too busy to set a pretty table to join in tonight, either. We'll be at family's home, so I ain't doin' nuttin'!
Have a blessed Easter, Hon,

I am in love with your tablescape!! Bright colors are my fave! Your traditional foods look delish! I am filling 10 dozen of eggs for our hunt too =) Have a wonderful Easter/Resurrection Week!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, this is a darling table. And all that food is making me hungry. You are such a fabulous cook! I have the same napkins. They are so cute with their ribbon edges. Thanks for hosting and Happy Easter! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteKathleen - your color scheme of green and orange is so bright and cheerful. I am seriously in love with those napkins! They are adorable, just as that chick is. Your food looks so good - I have even finished planning my menu. I guess I had better "get with it". Happy, happy Easter to you!!
ReplyDeleteHi lovely lady.

Kathleen..I love your little ruffly chicks in the centerpiece..and all of your food looks delicious...such a pretty table..
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Easter celebration...so fun to see everyone's preparations..
Love,
Mona
Who made a replica of me without my permission??!?! That plus-size chick is ME!!!:-) Look me...now look at the chick...now look back at me. (Remember that Old Spice commercial?) :-) You went all out in color and texture and fun! This is a really joyous table, Kathleen!!! I have never eaten Babka. It looks good. You know I can't make anything that involves yeast, though. Sigh! :-( I know your family will eat well and enjoy the time spent together. Have a wonderful Easter week, and I wish you and your family Easter blessings!
ReplyDeleteKathleen~ Love your not eggs-actly subtle table and your plus size chick centerpiece! :) Everything looks delicious too, love the idea of snow peas filled with crabmeat! Wishing you & your family a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI bet your grandkids would love that plus size chick! I wish I lived closer so I could pop on over for some Babka. Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely table, Kathleen! I'm so happy to be here early this evening! Thanks for hosting...I'm still open to ideas for Easter, so I'll be visiting around! Happy Easter to you and your family. I'm thinking about all of you. ~Zuni
ReplyDeletelove the plus size chick! Hilarious! I also really like the green dot plate and the green and orange palette! Great change from traditional Easter pastels. All your food looks yummy too! Stuffed snow peas please!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Kathleen, I'm so glad you invited me to join your party because when I came over, I got to see Big Mama chick! Wow! Now that is what I call a centerpiece! And I love all the colors you used on your table! You have been cooking up a storm and look ready. I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table. The chicks are too cute and the foods looks delicious. Have a great Easter and thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThose cute napkins are the perfect finishing touch to your festive table. I love the touch of grosgrain ribbon. Thanks for hosting, Kathleen. Happy Easter to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteLove all the bright colors! The food looks absolutely delicious! We don't have any unusual traditional food, just the deviled eggs! I usually like to do potato salad with ham, etc, but it's still a little cool for potato salad this year, even here in FL! Oh, pineapple upside down cake is traditional here!
ReplyDelete120 eggs???? Yikes!
Happy Easter!
Katherine
It definitely is an EGGS plosion of color, but I love every bit of it! Those are the cutest napkins. I never would have thought to stuff snow peas...great idea. We love crab salad. Get stuffing those eggs...I helped do two huge garbage bags full of those eggs...took hours, maybe I should say days, like 3 of them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and Mike.
Your table is so festive, colorful and so beautiful, Kathleen! And so are the foods you prepared. So beautiful and so yummy! Happy Easter!...Christine
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I don't know if I missed it, or if my memory is so bad that I have forgotten it, but that table in your header is absolutely stunning! Your table for this post is sooo cute! That chick in her Easter bonnet is so much fun, and the way you mixed all of the fun colors makes this look like a table for a real celebration. You've got it all ~ the fab tablescape and the delicious food. Have a wonderful week celebrating Easter! laurie
ReplyDeleteKathleen:
ReplyDeleteThat chick looks great center stage! And I know you've used them before but those PB napkins are gorgeous!
Looks like you've got the cooking well underway!
- Alma, The Tablescaper
What a beautiful table for Easter Kathleen. I love all the elements you pulled together here, specially the adorable bunnies hopping all over it!! The food is fabulous and that Babka is making me drool..I'm making this one SOON!! Thanks for the recipe and for hosting your great meme. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteFABBY
I really love this table. Believe it or not, it might actually be my favorite table that you have ever done. (And that's saying something.) It makes me think of Mr. MacGregor's garden in Peter Rabbit. The green plate on the bottom looks like a leaf of lettuce, and the rest just stacks on the theme. I love the carrots (Well, I hate carrots but love your table carrots...) It's all wonderful, and I'm pinning it so I remember who gave me the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I want to shop with you and Alma. You two do find some pretty fun and wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could hop like a bunny up to your house for Easter! All that good food! We are up to our eyeballs in contractors, etc., and I will do well to get a ham sandwich on the table!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWow ...such a pretty Easter setting with all the cute things along with yummy preparations...Lovely share....Happy Easter to you...:):)
Wow Kathleen, you always do such a great job and your foodie items are always impressive! Love the plus size chick! I really like that tablecloth fabric you chose...it's a perfect backdrop. I'm hungry and all that food looks way too good!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Easter Kathleen...

Love your table, especially the carrot napkins and napkin rings. Makes the orange in the table pop! Thanks so much for hosting Let's Dish each week! Have a blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteWow! You hit the entire rainbow with this tablescape and I love it! Your "fluffy" chick is darling, made me laugh and I love the napkins and rings. Everything is perfectly "ducky"! I bet it is fun at your house this week...very quiet and uneventful at mine. I still haven't quite wrapped my brain around Easter being this weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your big, bad-a** chick, Kathleen :) The carrot napkins are adorable too. One day, I hope to try those egg cakes.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say Happy Easter!
