I went to a local PBS fundraiser with a friend to listen to the host of Life in Bloom, J Schwanke. He spoke about the show and upcoming episodes and made about 10 arrangements while he talked. It was really inspiring. At the end of the program, they announced that the centerpieces on the tablesContinue reading “Fun Floral inspires table”

Exquisite Easter
I started this table with a cute bunny runner; Smith and Hawken bunnies; silverplate compotes with paper eggs; and a Southern Living metal container. The place settings are Wedgwood MaxaDura Service plates; Mikasa Spring Ivory (embossed like a hibiscus flower); Mikasa Italian Countryside rim soup bowls; Williams-Sonoma napkins; and etched glassware.
When Life Gives You Lemons
This is a fun table with yellow and green. You could use fresh lemons for the centerpiece. I used a Majolica daisy pitcher, narcissi in glass bottles, and Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage bowls. The place settings are my Wedgwood MaxaDura Service plates; Williams-Sonoma Lemon napkins; RAK buffet plates; Mikasa Lemons pasta bowls; Murano green glasses withContinue reading “When Life Gives You Lemons”
Bright Easter Table
I used a bunch of items together that I have been thinking about for a while now. This is a really fun and fresh tablescape for an Easter meal. The place settings are the Wedgwood MaxaDura service plates; lemon paper napkins; Villeroy and Boch Alea Caro Dinner plates; Villeroy and Boch Switch Summerhouse Arabesque; MexicanContinue reading “Bright Easter Table”
An Apple a Day…
I found some of these bowls (MacIntosh by Pier 1) at the thrift store and I liked them so much that I filled out the set on ebay. These were the jumping off point for this table. The bowls have a blue rim, so I used some plates that have blue rings on them andContinue reading “An Apple a Day…”
Pretty in Pinks and Reds
I found a set of 8 Villeroy and Boch Portobello dinner plates on my recent thrifting adventure in Atlanta–and I don’t think that they have ever been used. Absolutely gorgeous condition. Anyway, they were the jumping off point for this table. I started with a red runner and lined up my white vases filled withContinue reading “Pretty in Pinks and Reds”
Baby Shower for a Girl
Trying to put together a table with a lot of pink is pretty challenging for me because I am not a big fan of pink, but here we go. I reused the items from the Easter table, and added a bunny pitcher, some baby cups, pewter porringers, and some metal banks–a pig and an elephant.Continue reading “Baby Shower for a Girl”
Early Easter Table Version II
I also have these beautiful Mikasa Jolie Pasta Bowls, so I did a second version of the table with those.
Early Easter Table
I found some really pretty Royal Albert Everyday Friendship plates that were the jumping off point for this table. I started with a pretty vintage appliqued and embroidered runner and pull some Easter candies and some Martha Stewart bowl filler eggs into some apothecary jars. If I were doing this table for real, I wouldContinue reading “Early Easter Table”
Garden Party Table
I have some gorgeous Royal Stafford dinner plates–Sketchbook–right now until I sell them, and they were the jumping off point for this table. I started with a beautiful appliqued table runner in a great green color. I bought flowers at Trader Joe’s in the same colors as are on the plates and arranged them inContinue reading “Garden Party Table”
