Easter Entertaining in Chico’s Off The Rack
Ladies, do you start decorating your home for spring and Easter?
This is a sponsored post with Chico’s Off the Rack.
I decorate my home right after Lent in preparation for Easter. I was inspired by my recent visit to Pottery Barn when I was looking for an egg tray for my deviled eggs. In all my 32 years of marriage, I have never owned an egg tray! Pottery Barn has some really great spring and Easter table decor. Some of which came home with me!
How cute are these bunny salad plates and ceramic garden bunnies?
We will be entertaining family for Easter and I will show you my table already decorated for Easter. I actually set the table up twice because of the terrace porch is perfect for a woodland table setting. The dining room is a more simple table setting using the same pieces. My dining room table didn’t look good with lanterns on it so I went with candlesticks. However, my favorite table is the farmhouse table on my porch.
I am actually using the centerpiece from my Serenbe designer showhouse from last fall. Even though the orchid blooms have dropped it was a perfect centerpiece to create a woodlands tablescape. ( I have a green designer’s thumb and love seeing my orchids bloom over and over again!)
The woodland centerpiece is actually thriving since the September showhouse!
I actually set the table up in my dining room because I worry about the cold temperatures and the pollen that will be here before Easter. As darling as this looks green pollen is just around the corner in the south and I can’t keep the table decorated this way for Easter.
Which way did you like the tablescape? On my porch or in the dining room?

The Outfit for Easter
We are very casual for Easter and I will be wearing this wonderful outfit from Chico’s Off The Rack.
I absolutely love these Perfect Stretch™ Sateen Pants I found at Chico’s Off the Rack. They feel so good and are so comfortable!
I love looking fabulous whether I am working as an interior designer or wearing them for Easter!
Did you know Chico’s Off The Rack is the online home of Chico’s Outlet and is now on Instagram @chicosofftherack where you can see the ever-changing selection of women’s clothing, jewelry, and accessories – all delivered at prices you never thought possible?
The Easter Menu
Click to see the recipes. It doesn’t look like a lot of food but it’s so filling and it’s about sharing our table with family at Easter.
Italian arancini rice balls stuffed with pork ragu and served with marinara sauce
Green Beans with Almonds and Caramelized Onions
Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
Carrot Cake(J Paul Getty Museum Carrot Cake)
Steven’s grandmother’s recipe. Delicious!
This is the very same menu I will be serving for Easter. I make it every year and my Italian family in New Jersey does too. Lot of prep work goes into making homemade Italian meals and entertaining at the holidays.
Here you see Sammy making the homemade manicotti with my niece who was visiting us from New Jersey.
However, this year will be an extra special Easter for us as we celebrate the first birthday of our little Olivia Lynnlee!
We are so blessed with being grandparents and watching our family grow. The love we share and our good blessings are what makes Easter so special.
Thank you to Chico’s Off The Rack for this collaboration. I love working with companies that make women over 40 look fabulous and chic!

I am glad you reposted this. I love your table setting as always and am salivating over your food. Have a wonderful Easter xx
Hilda,
You are so kind and I always enjoy you stopping by.
Tomorrow Sammy and I begin making our arancini’s and manicotti for Easter.
We’re so happy that our children will be sharing the table with us for Easter.
Happy Easter my friend!
LOVE your menu and table settings! And for some reason, I must have fallen off the planet for not taking a closer look at Chico’s Off the Rack! You look fabulous, as always. 🙂
I’m not even sure where to begin there’s so much goodness here. First off…love your snakeskin flats. I have the same pair. So cute. Your table-scape is beautiful and the menu is making my mouth water. I had no idea Chico’s had an online outlet. I guess that’s where you come in😉
So nice to see your smile! So, first your little Olivia is just beautiful. Very blessed you are with a close family. You asked, so I’ll answer….I would be happy to be served at either table, but I like the dining room one best. This post is chock full of great information! Hugs to you….Melanie
Melanie,
I would be honored to serve you at either table!
Yes we are blessed that our children are close to us so that I can enjoy being a Nana!
It’s easy making Easter dinner because it’s the same menu every year just like it was for my husband growing up.
Italians look to cook and serve family and friends at their table!

Robin, you have mad decorating skills! Such a lovely Spring tablescape and of course, the menu sounds mouthwateringly divine! You’re so fortunate to have a crew of family members joining in on the preparations…enjoy the feast!
Mary,
Thank you my friend for the love.
Yes, I am very fortunate the children haven’t traveled too far from the nest that they can help me cook and learn how to make Italian recipes that have been passed down to me by my mother in law.
Enjoy your trip!
Hugs,
Robin
Your Easter tablescape is absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you Andrea!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Robin
Oh wow! You are so talented and creative with your table decor! I don’t think I have ever seen anything so visually appealing and interesting! So many lovely things to look at and it sets off this incredible organic earthy new life vibe! I will be looking back at those pictures for future inspiration! And, I never knew Chicos had an outlet, so I will be looking into that as well! Your outfit is gorgeous! I love that sweater with that necklace! And the pictures of Sammy and your niece and little Olivia, oh goodness that is the real treasure, isn’t it? Such a beautiful post!
Amy,
What lovely and kind words! Thank you.
I love creating tablescapes all year round because I love flowers ,the seasons, and the holidays.
So simple to bring nature in and how it transforms a room.
Yes, check out Chico’s off the Rack, great fashion at a great price!
Everything I’m wearing is from Chico’s off the Rack!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Happy St. Paddy’s day Jess!
Thank you for your kind words!
I enjoy creating tablescapes for seasons and holidays now that I’m Nana. I used to decorate for the children when they were little and now I can do it for my grandchildren.
Hugs,
Robin
Oh Robin, I absolutely love your sense of style. Your porch has me green with envy, which feels right, since it’s almost St. Patty’s Day. The table scape is perfection, the bunny plates, a must-have item for Easter.
Thanks for the inspiration,
XoXo Jonet
Jonet,
Thank you very much for your lovely comments!
I love decorating tables with themes and it brings me so much pleasure when others enjoy how I decorate.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Hi Robin, Haven’t visited in a while. It’s been crazy busy moving countries. Glad I had a chance to visit your blog today. You’ve made me long for spring. Unfortunately we’re in Riga, Latvia, where we’re still experiencing winter. I’m hoping to see some signs of spring soon. In the meantime I’ll enjoy your beautiful photos that will remind me that spring can’t be far away. I love the woodland table setting and the beautiful soft colors! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be back to blogging real soon.
Christina,
I’m so happy you stopped by to comment!
I appreciate your kind words.
I look forward to seeing your posts soon!
Hugs,
Robin
Those bunny plates are just precious, and I love your green and yellow theme. It looks lovely AND delicious! You may find me on your doorstep… Our pollen has already hit, and it is extra fierce this year. I’m looking for any excuse to get out of town!
Liz,
We have an open door policy and you are always welcomed to join me and my family!
Yes, the pollen has shown up already in Atlanta and I need to cover all my faux spring flowers on my terrace. It’s so sad we can’t enjoy spring weather outdoors without being covered in spring pollen!
Hugs,
Robin
Your menu sounds delicious! I am going to pin this post and borrow it some time! Your table decor is breathtaking Robin! You are so talented my friend, it is just gorgeous.
I did not know about Chico’s Off the Rack! Thanks for the information, I’m going to check it out now.
Have a wonderful weekend, Sammy looks so happy cooking!

Kellyann,
This menu is served once a year and only on Easter so the family knows what to expect!
They actually crave this menu and so it’s an easy win!
Yes, I am so happy to be sharing Chico’s online sister store with my followers! We’re used to shopping at Chico’s but they also have an online outlet store that many don’t know about. It’s worth checking out!
Hugs,
Robon
Wow, you are creative! And what a beautiful colors you are wearing.
Thank you Nancy!
I love the aqua blue color with taupe. A nice transitioning color combination for spring.
Hugs,
Robin
Your table setting is beautiful Robin. It sounds like your Easter is going to be perfect xx
Thank you Laurie!
We seem to celebrate many family blessings on Easter.
My son and daughter in law were engaged on Easter 3 years ago and now we’re celebrating our sweet little Livie Lee’s birthday on Easter.
Hugs,
Robin
