Welcoming Spring with a Fluffle of Bunnies

We're welcoming spring in the garden with daffodils and tulips, and flowering deciduous magnolias, redbuds and cherry trees. And I'm welcoming spring on the table with a fluffle of bunnies! What is a "fluffle"? It's the cutest term for a group of bunnies! They can also be called a "colony" but where's the fun in that? 

 

I'm happy to be joining a group of wonderfully creative stylists for a Spring Tablescape Blog Hop organized by Rita of Panoply! All the links in the blog hop are provided at the end of this post.

Where to start? I envisioned my fluffle of bunnies at home in both the woods and the garden.

 

I started with a tablecloth covered in meadow flowers and butterflies, then chose woven chargers of dark rattan. 

 

   

Next up were dinner plates with an interesting textural border, followed by lovely salad plates featuring four different scenes of bunnies and flowers.

For the centerpiece I used a variety of faux spring flowers in a pretty purple vase. I would have liked to use flowers from my garden but I'm in between bloom times. 

All sorts of flowers are blooming on the napkins! Flowers from both the meadow and garden are represented and I just love the mix of vibrant colors.

  

I love each of the four plate designs, but I think this last one is my favorite.

 

I delight in unpacking my collection of porcelain bunnies each spring. Today I'm gathering the larger ones in the center of the table around the vase, almost as though the bunnies are taking shelter under the flowers.

 

A mischievous bunny pops out of a teapot!

 

   

Adorable baby bunnies frolic on mom's back.

Iced tea glasses have lovely blue stems that echo the color of some of the butterflies on the tablecloth. 

This bunny looks rather wary, don't you think?

  

These two flower-bedecked bunnies are a lidded box and a sugar bowl.

Bunnies and butterflies are scattered around the hem of the tablecloth.

Vintage napkin rings found their way into my shopping basket last summer.

 

   

Scattered by each place setting are pairs of salt and pepper shakers, each one cuter than the last.

A fifth pair has found themselves on the buffet with the largest of my rabbits. He's dressed for the occasion with a jaunty bow.

A fluffle of bunnies adds charm and whimsy to any spring table!

They would also be perfect gracing the table for an Easter lunch.

 

Thank you for joining me today! Please continue on to the table from Rebecca at the Zucchini Sisters and then circle back to any that you might have missed. You are sure to find inspiration from these marvelous tablescapers!
