Cottage-Inspired, Casual Easter Brunch and Spring Tablescape

Easter is just less than a month away!  It still feels like winter in North Carolina this weekend and I'm hoping the weather turns as egg hunts are much more enjoyable when it's warm!  Despite the cold weather, I brought in fresh flowers to help it feel like Spring and put together a simple, cottage-inspired Spring and Easter brunch tablescape that I hope inspires you for the upcoming holiday...

Instead of a traditional Easter dinner, I thought a brunch setting would be fun and casual...and who doesn't love brunch?!

I'll never forget "my first brunch"... I was just a little, small-town farm girl on vacation to visit relatives in California.  I'd never heard of brunch before, but my great-aunt insisted we all sit down for a fancy meal at a swanky hotel in the middle of the morning!

I was hooked... As a lover of breakfast food, I wasn't about to turn down a second breakfast.  I never understood why we didn't continue this "brunch-thing" when we got back home to the farm!

I think Easter is the best time to have a brunch... You rise early, grab something small to eat, and hustle the family out to church.  When you arrive home, the kids are begging to begin their annual egg hunt and fill their bellies with chocolate and jelly beans...  

...But you want them to first get some nutritious food and you want to keep the cooking simple.  It's as easy as serving fresh fruit, ham and biscuits...

...muffins and jam...

...and you can't forget the fresh, brewed coffee and orange juice...

By simply writing your family's names on a cooked egg with crayon before dying them, you can easily create one-of-a-kind place settings for your brunch.  The dye doesn't stick to the wax...

Since the food is simple, the place settings and table decorations should follow suit.  Inexpensive mums from the grocery store mixed with cut branches from the backyard placed in white pitchers is as simple as it gets...

Placing $2 daffodil pots from Trader Joe's in some clay pots topped with Spanish moss and decorative eggs is also easy peasy.

If you want to get really fancy, you can tie some baskets or other Spring-inspired element to the backs of your dining chairs...

It doesn't take much to make to transform a table for a special occasion and your family will love it...

...for all about two seconds before they scarf down the food and begin nagging to start the egg hunt!
