St. Patrick's Day Revisited (T)

 I've put together some blog posts that I've done for St. Patrick's Day in the past.

This one was called Picnic On The Green

 Pistachio Muffins

I used a clay plant tray for a charger and a wee one for the muffin!

 Showing off the clover decorated lace tablecloth.

 This was my Dining At The Pub feature. I cut out the top of this hat and made an arrangement for it.  Then I stacked it on top of a miniature wooden keg.

 A pot for Irish Stew with a Leprechaun and gold coins!

 This was my A Cottage Like St. Patrick's Day Setting

 A frequently used china with Shamrocks

 I mixed my Devon Cottage dishes with the cabbage dishes layered on a cabbage leaf placemat.

 This one I did as a Happy Birthday and St. Patrick's Day celebration 

I created a centerpiece of bakery goodies!

 I used the shamrock china again and combination of the cabbage leaf dishes with a galvanized charger accented with white dishes.

 

 Lastly my Turning Up The Green For St. Patrick's Day!

Aren't these the cutest!  They are a pair of Byer's Choice caroler's.

 I created a centerpiece with preparations for tea!

 I layered some green and gold garlands on the chandelier.

 The shamrock dish was a find at Michael's and I kept everything pretty white with a little green mixed in.

 Cute little hats found at a local store that sells lots of party goods.

 

 So that's it for my St.Patrick's Day Revisited

Wishing you a very happy one!

Dining In a Potpourri of Lavender and Blue (T)

Greetings and thank you for joining me for my 

Dining In A Potpourri Of Lavender And Blue! 

I chose a mix of blues and lavender colors for this tablescape. 

You'll also notice my Thanksgivng Cactus is blooming in the background.  This is the third time it's bloomed since I brought it back inside last fall.  I think it likes being outdoors through the summer!

I got this vase from Holland, Michigan and since spring is arriving soon I thought I'd jump into that theme.

A trip to Costco netted me this lovely bouquet of flowers.  I love the roses, gerber daisies and mums!  I do hope the roses will open up a bit more!

For my dish stack I have some Ralph Lauren Mandarin Blue dishes and a galvanized plate charger.  Dishes came from TJMaxx and chargers from Michael's.

These solid lavender dishes are called French Perle by Lenox,

and these dishes are called Delemare Bouquet by Spode.

Napkins came from Williams Sonoma a few years ago.

I do love a good paisley and this one is called Laveen Paisley by Ralph Lauren.  Found at Home Goods a few years back.

The stemware is called Trestle by Fitz & Floyd found at T.J.Maxx a while back.  One of my favorites!

I chose the antique pewer metal napkin ring because it goes well with the pewter Sophia (Neiman Marcus) handle on the flatware.  They used to carry these in a variety of colors and they were pretty reasonable.

Love these antique roses sourrounded by the lavender button mums.

These are called white football mums.  Love 'em!

So there you have it!  I hope you enjoyed this and please ignore the snow outside!

I will be joining:

Love Your Creativity Link Party #35

Embracing Spring! (T)

Hello everybody!  Today I am joining another blog hop hosted by
Chloe of Celebrate and Decorate.

 Today is our "Spring Tablescape" blog hop and you will find the links to all the other blog posts down below at the end of my tablescape.

Welcome to my Embracing Spring tablescape!

I've embraced some spring colors like pink, green and blue!

I wanted to add a touch of crystal to my tablescape so I included crystal candlesticks and stemware.

I created the florals for the blue and white containers that I recently found at Michaels.

The blue and white is what I actually began with and then I expanded on it!

I grouped together the crystal and floral containers surrounding them with some fern fronds and ivy.

The pink bowl ties in nicely with the tablecloth, the green plate and placemat tied into the green florals and the blue and white dishes tied in with the floral containers.

I like how this pink and white plaid tablecloth made for a great background and the simple striped white and blue napkins brought in some more blue which I accented with pearly napkin rings.

What a great day.  I opened the door to let more light in and the sun was shining so nicely it really feels like spring!

Thank you for visiting my Embracing Spring tablescape!
