Jackalopes and Spring Blossoms

Today I have created a tablescape that is a little different than my usual pink and white ......blue and white is my color choice today.
   The inspiration for my tablescape are  the pretty dishes that I have been collecting for a couple of years.    I was so happy to see that TJ Maxx had some additional pieces this year in their spring collection.

I have a blue candle burning on the table that I bought in Fredericksburg Texas where they are manufactured by the Circle E Candle Co.      The candle is called Hill Country  Blue Bonnets and it smells just like the fields of  flowers that bloom in the Spring in the hill country of Texas.    I have been lucky enough to be in the area during the spring several times over the years.

The Blue Bonnet scent mixed with the smell of the freshly cut blooms from our Ornamental Pear tress make the room smell heavenly!    
   The center piece of my table is a Mama Jackalope and her two babies.   I don't know if a Jackalope is a real animal or a fictional one.... but here is a link to some info for you to read and decide for yourself.....http://www.legendsofamerica.com/wy-jackalope.html

The table settings are pretty much the same......white charger,  blue and white entree plate,   bunny hand towel between the plates,   blue water glasses........

I placed the hand towel between the plates and folded one end under to tuck my silver ware in.     I also tucked a paper napkin in the fold....not your normal setting....but fun for a change. 

This is the first piece that I bought for my collection a couple of years ago......

I added two coffee cups and the cream and sugar this year.     I also found a spoon rest to set by the stove top.

I took this photo this morning to show you how the trees are full of blossoms.    I had hoped I could catch the sun out today,  but no luck so far.    It's in the mid 50's so it's still pretty warm,

H cut me several branches,   so I had enough flowers to made my table runner and a large bouquet to set between the chairs.   Love to have coffee here in the mornings with the sun shining in on us.....no sun today though...lol!

I had enough small pieces of flowers to fill my metal scoop too.

So,  is a Jackalope real or not?

 

    I haven't seen one alive,  but I have seen one that had been Taxidermied. (is that even  a word...lol!)

 

Happy Spring!
