This week the tablescape is Easter Champagne Brunch. It was supposed to be on the back porch but the wind didn’t want to cooperate. After the vase fell over and got water on my tablecloth, I decided to move it inside! Be sure to join me tomorrow for a special Good Friday edition of A Southern Life.
These are my pink and white dishes. They are stoneware and I love them for their versatility.
The champagne (or technically sparkling wine) is from Spain. It is Castillo Prelada Brut Reserva. It is a good inexpensive sparkling wine that is great to make mimosas with.
The pretty flower bowls are not part of the dish pattern. I got these at Tuesday Morning years ago. Aren’t they cute?
I love the lace detail on the napkins.

Those flower bowls are so unique and so pretty. Lovely tablescape. laurie
I love your dish combinations they look wonderful together and those pretty lace napkins, enjoy your Easter champagne brunch, happy weekend, Kathy
No, I’m not a nurse, just messed up – or the spell checker mis-correctd me. It does that sometimes!
Are you a nurse? I noticed you wrote flower “bowels” and I do the same thing. I’ve written the word “bowel” so many times over the years that it is reflex. It is particularly vexing when I am writing out a recipe. Nothing suppresses the appetite more than visualizing putting something in a “big mixing bowel.”
BTW, nice tablescape!
Lovely tablescape! I found two of those white and pink plates at Goodwill a few years back for fifty cents each…have been looking for more since. So versatile.1
