Bunnies In Winter Tablescape









My calendar begins with dancing bunnies for January. But bunnies are never far from my heart. (You will want to know that the calender is "Animalia" from Papayaart.com.)




When I posted this image from my post onto Facebook I got a flood of inquiries as to where to buy the plates. They are an old design from Magenta that I found at Home Goods and now are sometimes found on Ebay.




They really are an Easter design, but I knew when I bought them that they would never be saved only for that! Bunnies are forever!




I am more apt to do buffet style tables these days. So much more workable for small crowds in a small space. But bunny plates are perfect for a "Come over and we'll eat" kind of table like this one.




So January bunnies it is! I am not much of a cook, so a simple soup and sandwich affair is planned. But this adorable mustard/jam pot will help to elevate the humble menu. It was a gift from sweet friends some time ago, and will probably hold apricot jam for biscuits.




An old muffin tin is so versatile. Mine will serve up the biscuits. (Or warm cookies for dessert!)



Ironstone mugs will hold a savory soup and keep it nice and hot. Nothing more needed for an intimate cozy winter farmhouse style lunch. 








And I wonder if you noticed the lettered napkins peeking out from between the plates? I have been thinking about when and how to use them for some time now.




They are one version from a company called Sir/Madam. Mine are letters of advice from famous writers like Dickens to their children. Another set has love letters. I have seen them various places. Recently at Anthropolgie.




They make a fun setting for your bookish friends or for a book club meeting.










I'm so glad that you stopped by!

I hope it's a beautiful day for you!

  2. There are tooooooo many elements to love in your post!! First off, bunnies are forever, love the plates. I searched for those last year and found them in many places esp. on Ebay, very pricey so I never bought them. Your pot for jam is adorable, love it!!! The napkins are so clever and a must have, what a conversation piece!!!

    At holiday time I purchased 5 various strands of fairy lights from www.lightsforalloccasions.com, they were very reasonable. Like you, I am using them everywhere!! They are so pretty and spritly in floral arrangements.......Happy New Year to you!!! xoxoxo

  5. Lovely bunnies! I had a Peter Rabbit bowl when I was little. I expect it got broken at some stage but once a bunny fan, always a bunny fan.
    Great napkins too.

  7. The bunny plates are so cure. I know that when HomeGoods sells out you will never see it again. A pity. I love everything here, you are the best at vignettes.

  8. Hi Jacqueline, I just love the bunny plates. The napkins are just charming too. Love the way you've mingled the little lights around your table. I love those lights and use them too. The timer styles are my favorites.
    Have a beautiful weekend. xo

  13. Those are the sweetest bunny plates I've seen! I hope they show up again at Home Goods. Those lettered napkins are such a great find. I can imagine everyone taking a moment to read aloud what's on them- what a fun idea!

  16. Ah, bunnies, they're so adorable! This time of year we see white ones scampering about in our back yard. I always pray they don't meet up with Mr. Fox. Your table is very sweet and I love the bunny plates. The napkins are quite unique. I have never seen them with script {print} on them like that. Your table is very welcoming and I love my soup in a mug too. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  21. I hear Anthropologie calling my name. Like I need another set of napkins. Love the table setting and the dishes. The brownish bunnies are especially nice -- they don't scream Easter/spring and are perfect for year round! And love the lights. In fact, there isn't a photo or a word or an idea or a bit of imagination in this post that I don't love to death!
