Thrifty Easter table 2012

I wanted to make the dining room pretty for our family Easter lunch.  My plan was to find some cute placemats and napkins, devise a centerpiece, and get curtains to hang. Two out of three accomplished!
At Goodwill I found this metal cup and saucer sculpture thingy for 99 cents. And 6 Battenburg lace trimmed napkins for $6.  They match the small tablecloth I will use on top of a Spring-y yellow one.
I needed the napkins for bunny ear folded napkins.  (I found the tutorial here.)  The round green placemats were on sale at Kohl's for $2.49 each.  I can use them for other holidays or just whenever.  The little yellow candles were a buck each at Wal-Mart.
 The tea cup thingy got some florist foam and moss that I already had with some flowers I picked up from Dollar Tree.  The bunny from Salvation Army got moved to the dining room as well.
Are you ready for Easter?  I can't wait to spend time with my nearest and dearest.
