Hello my happy friends. Today I have a Pinterest Challenge that includes a delightful spring tablescape plus thirteen more aaahhhmazing bloggers with their charming spring tablescapes too. Can you ever really see enough spring inspiration? I say not really. If you’ve landed here from Follow The Yellow Brick Home, thanks so much! I always appreciate the visit and didn’t you love her adorable tablescape? So stinkin’ cute!
A Pinterest Challenge That Includes A Delightful Spring Tablescape!
For the Pinterest Challenge, each month we choose one inspo photo and each of the participating bloggers use that photo to recreate something similar but in their own personal style. Some months are harder than others and some push me to think outside the box. I try my hardest to use what I already have around the house which is nice.
Worthing Court
This month our inspiration photo comes from Suzy at Worthing Court. She has a talent for tablescapes and this is one of the cutest! What I see and would like to incorporate are these elements below.
Stack of placemats, chargers and plates
A tiered tray
Lots of greenery
A nest with eggs
Bunnies and a small pitcher
Y’all, I was super excited because I didn’t spend a dime. Well except for the lemon bites. That’s one of the things you’ll notice that’s totally different about my tablescape. I don’t have a tired tray with flat bottoms to stack things cutely inside. Mine is used for cookies and cupcakes and candy and all kinds of scrumptious delights – duh.
The other difference is a nest with eggs. I made several nests about 4 years ago. You can see the super easy DIY here but they are sitting in another spot and I don’t like moving things from one place to another just to make it work.
Instead, I have a table runner with nests that looks great. The best part though, is all of the small white dishes (my nests) with eggs sitting throughout the table are pieces I made in my pottery class! I realize a pat on the back wouldn’t be out of the question right about now. 😉
From what I can tell in Suzy’s photo, she used two bunnies. I’m taking the opportunity to use a few of my pewter bunny molds. They aren’t genuine molds.
I’ve gathered them over the years from various stores and love each one. Maybe one day I’ll have a large collection of them! Wouldn’t that be fun?! I can see the Mister’s eyes rolling back in his head even now.
When trying to recreate a pinterest challenge photo, you don’t need to replicate it exactly. For example, look at the small pitcher Suzy has at the end of her table. I could leave my pitcher empty like hers or take an opportunity to do something different like adding greenery stems instead.
Cover ugly pots with lunch sacks
Speaking of greenery, this faux plant came in a black plastic container and that’s not going to look all that great mixed in with a charming spring tablescape. An easy fix is putting it inside a paper brown (or white) lunch sack and rolling the top edges down. I’m a frequent brown bagger with my home decor.
Spring Tablescape
Some of you might not think using a stack of plates as a centerpiece is a good idea. I do it all the time. It allows for family to help set the table. And when the time comes, it gives me the excuse to buy or pick fresh flowers to put in place of the stacked dishes. For this particular tablescape, I’d add one pitcher of fresh florals where the stacked dishes were and then add more flowers to the small white pitcher on the other end. Works out perfectly!
Use a collection of molds to keep the eye moving in a tablescape
By separating the green bundles, using different heights and using the pewter molds in sporadic places, you keep the eye moving throughout the tablescape. Just don’t add so many small pieces that it looks busy. I hope you see how you can recreate one Pinterest Challenge photo to fit in with your own style by using a little imagination.
Next up is Angie at Postcards from the Ridge. She has a must-see collection of vintage jadeite!
Cindy,
Your pewter bunny molds are just the cutest and so perfect for your table. Thanks for organizing this each month.

Aww Amber, thank you! I never know how people will react to the outcome of a challenge so your sweet comment gives me the bestest feeling. High fives!
Cindy, what a great version of Suzy’s centerpiece. I love your pewter molds. If you have three, you have a collection! The brown paper bag is a great suggestion. Thanks as always for hosting and picking a lovely image to inspire us.

Glad you like it Carol and thank you but I can’t take credit for this one. Michelle @ThistleKeyLane found it and I love it too. Yay Michelle!
I’m going to have to check out that pottery class Cindy. Your bowls are really cute, and I’m just as impressed with your candy mold collection! This is a beautiful way to display them! Pinning of course!
Author
I wish we could be in class together Michelle! We’d have a blast! Thanks for the pin and choosing our photo this month! Loved it.

I was a bit confusing with all the emails this time. Thanks for doing that!
I LOVE that you are a brown bagger! LOL! Your centerpiece is fabulous. I want every single chocolate mold. Thank you so much for hosting!

I even laughed at myself when I typed that out. There’s a cartoon that the kids showed me a long time ago of a cow in a crowd of other animals. She thought she was ugly and had a bag on her utters (yeah, not sure how that worked). When she got a compliment saying she was beautiful, she took the bag off. Then about 2 seconds later some animal in the crowd said – girl, put that bag back on. LOL! We say that every single time there’s a brown bag around. Like I said before, 5th grade boy humor) 😉
I love those little bunny molds!! They are so cute! I always love these Pinterest Challenges and seeing what everyone comes up with. So many fun and creative ideas to be had!!

Thanks so much Niky. I got those plates at Pier One when they were closing. Wish I had more than four. Happy Spring!
Great job adding your twist to this month’s challenge, Cindy! I LOVE your ‘pewter molds’, and I think a collection on a shelf or in a cabinet is a perfect idea! I just may join you on that collection! I have two so far. 🙂
Author
I hope to find more of those molds. They are darling! We could do a post about our collections one day. Thanks for the enthusiastic comment too. Makes my day. 🙂
Super cute! Those molds make my heart pitter patter I hope that you will share this on the Fabulous Friday Link Party this Friday. You can find the link on my homepage. Hugs to you.

Cindy, I love all the chocolate molds you’ve used in your centerpiece!! I have a couple I picked up at High Point Market and you know… After writing Carol about how cute her centerpiece was on her entryway commode, I think I WILL make another centerpiece over on our sofa table! Those molds are coming out!! 😉
Very sweet and I love your stacked bunny plates,
Big hugs,
Barb 🙂

Happy to do it and thank you! I look forward to seeing what everyone does as well. We have so many creative minds in this group.
This is fresh farmhouse Spring, indeed! Love the bright colors and combo of textures you incorporated-galvanized, greenery, pottery and kraft-scrumptious! Your pottery bowls are adorable and love that sweet tiered tray. Knocked it out of the park, girl!
Author
Aww, thank you Lora. Those lemon bites lasted all of two days around here. Guess I better get back to the store. Cant leave the tired tray empty! 😉
LOVE this Cindy. Those pewter molds are gorgeous and the fabric for the runner is too cute. Perfectly Spring!

I found that table runner a couple of years ago at HomeGoods. It has scripture verses on it so it’s a fave. Thanks so much Debra!
Cindy, your spring table is so delightful indeed! I adore your collection of pewter bunny molds. And wrapping the pots with a paper bag is such a great idea. Your tray with the lemon bites is gorgeous. Thank you for hosting this challenge!
Author
We’ve all decided we need more lemon bites. 😉 And I’ve decided I need more pewter molds! Thanks bunches Angie. Hope you have a great weekend.
This is absolutely stunning! I love it!
Author
Stunning?! Thanks, I’ll take it! 🙂
Love your table. I adore your tiered tray with goodies and that bunny is so pretty. You did such a beautiful job of recreating the feeling of the inspiration table. Thanks for adding me again this month, this was a fun one to do.
Author
So glad you liked being with us and for loving my table. That means a lot. Thanks Ms. Marty!
I love everything you’ve done! Using the brown bags is such a great idea! The bunny molds are so cute! I want to find some! And using the pottery you made yourself! You are so talented!!! They are beautiful!
Author
Oh my golly Kristin, thank you! You made my week. I do love being able to use the pottery I made even though at the beginning, I was so over only being able to make small bowls. But not they’ve come in so handy! Is that snow melting up there yet? Happy Spring.
Wow Cindy! Your table is just the essence of springtime! I absolutely love your pewter molds and yes a pat on the back for the bowls is definitely in order! What a great way to meet your challenge. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Author
Thank you Denise. You made me smile today! Happy Spring!
Everything looks so cute! Your pewter bunnies are adorable, especially the mom & baby. I have a similar one, but it’s just one lone little guy. I love how you used your tiered tray because those treats look delish! I found you over on Carol’s contribution to the hop which she shared on my link party Crafty Creators. If you’d ever like to add an additional member to your hop, I would LOVE to join you all! You’re DIY pottery is great by the way! If you’d ever like to come share your posts with us on Crafty Creators, it’s open Thursdays thru Monday nights.
XOXO,

This is such a beautiful tablescape vignette, Cindy! I love, love, love all the spring touches you’ve used throughout.
