I found this gorgeous multi-server piece while I was in ATL and thought all along that it would make a great foundation for a tablescape. I put a navy and white patterned cloth down first, and then the server, Dansk Christianshavn Blue serving bowl full of lemons, a yellow Fiestaware pitcher, a small blue andContinue reading “Blue and Yellow Beauty”

Fall Garden Update–Vegetables
I pulled up our tomatoes around the middle of August after picking TONS of green ones that were still on the vines to ripen on the counter. I probably picked 40 or 50 lbs and some have gone bad, but most of them are ripening just fine. I did that to get ready for fallContinue reading “Fall Garden Update–Vegetables”
How about salad for dinner?
This table envisions a meal of individual chef salads made by each guest. This table utilizes Villeroy and Boch Perugia Bowls on Fiestaware Plates and Villeroy and Boch Alea Caro bread and butter plates. I used blue pitchers and orange flowers on a blue runner which repeat the colors in the bowls. We do aContinue reading “How about salad for dinner?”
Fall Garden Update–Shitake Edition
So in the EARLY spring of 2023, my husband cut down a sweet gum tree and bucked it into six logs that were about 4′ long or so. He drilled a bunch of holes in each log and we innoculated them with shitake spores–they are pegs that you pound into the hole, and the coverContinue reading “Fall Garden Update–Shitake Edition”
War Eagle!
This is a tablescape that envisions an afternoon spent watching the Auburn Tigers. I used my blue and orange Fiestaware, navy napkins and tablecloth, and orange flowers. College Football season is in full swing! How’s your team doing?
Pasta? Yes, please!
I found these fantastic Marisol pasta bowls from Williams Sonoma at the thrift store and they have my favorite color combination, so I put together a table. I started with a white cloth and a great runner with all the blues, greens, and yellows which work so beautifully with the pasta bowls. I put aContinue reading “Pasta? Yes, please!”
Pretty in Pink
I have found in doing these tables, that I have very little in the way of pink anything to do tablescapes. I found these gorgeous Villeroy and Boch Summerhouse Rose salad plates for a great price on ebay, so I got them. (If you haven’t guessed, Villeroy and Boch is my very favorite maker–high quality,Continue reading “Pretty in Pink”
Bold and Beautiful Blue and White
I bought these Dansk Arabesque salad plates a few months back and I LOVE them. They are so bold and the blue is just gorgeous. When I got them, I went on ebay to find some equally bold graphic napkins and found some really great ones from Williams-Sonoma. Then, while I was thrifting with aContinue reading “Bold and Beautiful Blue and White”
Mostly Millefiori
I found a GORGEOUS millefiori pitcher while I was in Atlanta and I also have some millefiori tumblers which was the jumping off point for this table. I started the table with a really neat linen cloth that has abstract flowers in the same colors as the bread/dessert/canape plates that I am using. The glassesContinue reading “Mostly Millefiori”
Fall for Owls
I found these owls during my thrifting trip to Atlanta and I think that they’re just great, so I built a tablescape around them. I used a white cloth and a jute runner and added a vase of dried lunaria, natural bowl fillers from my office, little wooden boxes from around the house, a woodenContinue reading “Fall for Owls”
