Today I’m sharing a simple spring tablescape with bunnies and eggs. See how to create a spring centerpiece under a cloche.
Hop Into Easter Blog Hop
I’m so excited to be joining Amber from Follow The Yellow Brick Home and a lovely group of bloggers for the “Hop Into Easter” Blog Hop. These talented women know how to celebrate the seasons in style and are always inspiring me to try something new. If you are joining me from The Tattered Pew, then welcome! I love Kelly’s fresh style.
Spring Tablescape With A Cloche Vignette
For this casual eating spot I usually keep the decorating light and airy. Framing a spring vignette under a glass cloche creates a vintage centerpiece for the table.
I love displaying small collections or a delicate still life under the protection of a cloche or bell jar. They have an old world charm that’s simply magical, and I hope they will never go out of style.
Someday I’ll find the right wooden base for the cloche, but for now I’m using a tray with the addition of a deer moss wreath. I love the soft texture and color that the deer moss adds to the to the spring tablescape.
Building a vignette starts with a vintage book as a base, then a potted ivy, a porcelain bunny I’ve had since childhood and a Peter Rabbit book wedged in the middle.
Around the back of the spring vignette are two tiny baskets. The vintage wicker duckling is just big enough to hold a nest of Spanish moss and an Easter egg.
To complete the arrangement, I used a few grapevine twigs to frame the spring vignette, giving it a garden look.
Bunnies And Eggs
For the place settings, I’m sharing two looks with white dishes and napkins. That way you can see which simple arrangement you like best.
Our local grocery store is carrying the most gorgeous naturally colored fresh eggs that are perfect for a spring table. This sounds silly I know, but after hard-boiling them, they were just too pretty to decorate.
By the way these beauties are destined for another batch of deviled eggs. Yum! To see my recent post click on Classic Deviled Egg Recipe With Toppings.
On a small cake stand is an arrangement of candies in a vintage inspired paper egg with a pair of chocolate mossy bunnies. I love how these turned out. To get a soft green texture on the base of the chocolate bunnies, I mixed ground pistachios and matcha powder. Maybe not the tastiest combination, but the color works.
Be sure to follow Thistle Key Lane on Pinterest. The boards are up to date with seasonal inspiration that you can use right now! For more ideas on vignettes, see the post Updating The Entry Table With Flowers.

What a lovely table. I adore the vintage wicker accents under the cloche.
Thanks so much Laura, I’ll have to start using the cloche more for vintage vignettes.
So pretty, I love your cloche, such a pretty display.
Thank you Marty, it’s filled with little things that have special memories.
This Easter tablescape is so pretty, Michelle! I have a big cloche like that but I never know what to do with it so I’ll definitely be taking a page from your book. I love the chocolate bunnies in the “matcha moss” too – that is such a genius idea! Hugs, CoCo
Thank you CoCo, the mossy bunnies make a whimsical addition to the table. I didn’t know if anyone would like them but I’m glad you did! Hugs!!
Precious. I love that you still have the bunny from your childhood. I love the chocolate bunnies too.
Thank you Katie, I can’t celebrate spring without bunnies. 🙂
I can still brush off the green combo on the bottom of the chocolate bunnies and be very happy. Especially with a beautiful centerpiece and a little wine. Yep, I’d sit there with you and chat! Very pretty.
Thanks so much Cindy, you have the right idea. It’s a relaxed spot, perfect for wine and good stories. Hugs!
This is so pretty, Michelle! I love how you added the Peter Rabbit book to the vignette…pure whimsy!
Thank you Linda, I like adding something unexpected to vignettes. Happy Spring!
Such a lovely table setting!!! The vintage inspired candy container is darling!!! And, love how the chocolate bunnies with the matcha powder turned out…so cute!!

Thank you Emily, I’m thinking about making some mini mossy bunnies too. Happy Spring!
I really like the styling in the cloche! And, I’m craving a chocolate bunny now.
Thank you Carol! I’m a big chocolate lover, so it took a lot of will power to not eat the bunnies. 🙂
I love your cloche decorated for Easter and especially love that you’ve had that bunny since childhood. Seeing your book reminds me that I have a similar one that I need to find to enjoy. I also like how you jazzed up your chocolate bunnies with pistachio and matcha.
Thank you Paula, I haven’t used a cloche in a long time. I think I’ll be using it more often especially for holidays. Thanks so much for your sweet comments!
Your table is lovely and simple and the cloche is perfect. I love the way you have styled it setting on the deer moss wreath, a perfect base for the natural look of your vignette.
Thank you Chloe, the deer moss wreath worked great to elevate the vignette. Happy Spring!
I love the moss under the cloche and the way you styled it all! The chocolate bunnies are so cute!!!
Thanks so much Kristin. Happy Spring!
Hi Michelle!
love your cloche with your childhood bunny and the Peter Rabbit book! And those “moss” bunnies are to cute! Thanks for joining us and sharing at Homestyle Gathering!

Thank you Kim! Love your link party. 🙂
What a beautiful table! I love all the white and that adorable centerpiece! The cloche really takes it to another level! So pretty!
Shelley
Thank you Shelley, the cloche turned out better than I thought. I want to make more vignettes now. 🙂
Your casual dining spot is gorgeous, LOVE that cloche with the vines, book and bunny. so sweet. Great idea for the “moss” on the chocolate bunnies, fun! Happy Easter!
Thank you Debra, I have always loved cloches and all the interesting ways they can be styled. Happy Easter!
Michelle, I love the simplicity, charm and beauty of your table! As much as I liked the front of the cloche vignette (made about all things BP as I have a large figurine collection), it was the duckling basket on the other side that stole my heart — what a find.
I think that little duckling basket may have belonged to my mother. I’ve had it as long as I can remember. Thank you for your sweet comments Debbee!
Your table is beautiful! I adore the cloche and I love Peter Rabbit!!!
Thank you Angelina, the cloche turned out better than I imagined. Happy Spring!
Michelle, loved the cloche. It creates such a sweet spot of seasonal decor in a small space. I collected the Beatrix Potter books for my older daughter so that scene was special.
Beatrix Potter was an amazing woman and her books bring back so many great memories. Happy Easter Carol!
Your centerpiece is so lovely under the cloche! It’s perfect with your childhood bunny, books and the blue and white pot. Wishing you a Happy Easter!
Thank you Carol, spring is a fun and happy time for me to decorate. I always feel a bit nostalgic when I unpack old favorites. 🙂
I love your gorgeous tablescape! Your cloche centerpiece is divine! I have Easter egger chickens that lay the blue and green eggs, and I’m with you – they’re too pretty to color! Happy Easter!
I’m so jealous that you have chickens and all those glorious fresh eggs! Thanks so much for your sweet comments Michelle. Happy Easter!
I love your large sized cloche, Michelle! What a perfect centerpiece, and big enough to style a cute vignette in. I’ve got a small one and can hardly fit anything in it:( Always love to pop over and see what you’re creating!
Even with a large cloche, it was a tight squeeze getting those vines in the vignette lol. So happy you popped in to say hi Lora!
Oh my goodness, simple spring perfection! Your cloche display is darling with so many little treasure! The wicker duck and basket was fun surprise!
Those little chocolate bunnies are so creative and festive. I also bought some farm raised eggs with fabulous natural color that are too pretty to color. I love the details on your silverware too!
Everything you share is beautiful!
Thank you so much for joining the hop. Happy Easter!
I was afraid my tablescape was a bit too simple this time, but I just had to show off those pretty eggs. Thanks so much for organizing the blog hop with all these talented ladies. I’m going to go through all the posts again this weekend so I can really soak in all those fabulous ideas! Happy Easter Amber!
Your natural elegance is just lovely! Love your style, my friend!
Thank you Julie. Hugs!!
I just adore the natural elements. You table is so pretty!!
Thank you Christy, celebrating spring is all about bring those natural elements together.
Love it, as always, Michelle! We both had a little dash of Beatrix Potter in our tablescapes this year! The way you put together different combinations or accents is so lovely. I’m in love with your chocolate bunnies with grass, too. Great trick!
Thanks Crissy, I noticed that. Great minds think alike! 😉
