This sunflower is at the steps to the back porch.
Another week has flown by...it is time to head over to Between Naps On The Porch to see how my blogger friends are dressing their tables for Tablescape Thursday this week. Thank you, again, Susan, for hosting my favorite meme. Please make sure you head over so that you, too, can enjoy
more fabulous tables.
To enlarge any picture, just click on it.
I think something very simple, in red for Tablescape Thursday is in order; the heat this summer has been so oppressive. I have no flowers in the garden that really go with the bright red...so decided to go with the pink hydrangeas that are now turning a pale green, stressed by the unforgiving heat or lack of water, or maybe it is just that time of year that they do this.
I love this checkered plate and was happy to find it in bright red.
I am using my red Waechtersbach dinner plates as charger plates. The next layer is a white Wedgwood Hedge Rose dinner plate, then a red and white checkered Royal Stafford Fine Earthenware England salad/dessert plate and finally a white Oneida Classic soup/salad bowl. The plates are all solid colors except the salad/dessert plate.
The water glass is Colony Harvest milk glass.
The flatware is Rogers/International Gracious 1939. The candle holder is Fitz & Floyd.
The flowers are from my yard. They were Nikko blue hydrangeas when I planted them, our soil is too alkaline so they are mostly pink with tinges of blue...I don't know if they are turning this light green because they are stressed or if it is that time of year when they lose their color. I really like this pale green color, too bad they weren't that color all the time!

I am also going to join Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for Rednesday, seeing I actually have some red going on here.

I love the red and white. Those checked plates are really cute!! Love the layers and I especially love the milk glass water goblets. I do have a love for milk glass. Cute and thrifty my kind of table. Love the Hydrangeas and that color. Just a winner all around.
Stunning Reds!
Such a festive table.

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
My very favorite ever. I have lots of red and white check items in my kitchen. I stupidly sold many milk glass items years ago not knowing how great they were and wish I could have them back. Thank you for another Terrific Tuesday! love, bbb
Really liked the red & white-as usual, loved the hydraneas-they are one of my favorite summer flowers.(can't grow here-too hot)

My Mom had a whole set of that milkglass when I was growing up. She may still have it, I'll ask when I see her.

I just love this elegant table!! I love red, so it must be for me, lol! Love the sunflower! I have some about ready to bloom. My first ever...I can't wait!
That is cute! The red and white pops! Love those candle holders and the checked plates.
Beautiful goblets, M!
I like the picture in the candlelight the best!! Very cute table!
Red is my favorite color so you know this setting is a hit with me. The hydrangeas look great and I have some beautiful red dahlias now that would look great on your table, too. You can come pick them!
Another outstanding setting.

It's a very cheerful table! I like the milk glass worked in with the various red and white dishes. Great find on the tablecloth. Happy Rednesday! ~ Sarah
I do love the red and white combo and the pale green of the hydrangeas! My hydrangeas have quite blooming!!!!! I need to go to bed....It is almost midnight here. I took some meds for my allergies and I am WIDE awake!! ugh! nannykim/spindlecottage
Wow! Very inviting and VERY red! Love it!
What a fresh tablescape. It's perfect to beat the summer heat with. A red check tablecloth is one of my favorite ways to say summer. Very cute!
I love the red checked table scape. The plates are too cute and you've mixed the red and white perfectly. Great job!
What a great red post for today. I love all of it, but he red checkered plates are neat.
Oh, LOVE this red and white table! It just says "happy"! And, like you said, with this heat, it just feels "cool" which is odd since red is a warm color. but, nope, I think with all the awesome white in this table, it feels cool. Love it. And Inow have to start really looking for milk glass goblets!!
have a great day!
I always want to post a tablescape but can't remember where I got some of my pieces etc. I see what you do each week, with all your photos and information that you provide and I know what a lot of work that is. You do a fabulous job, so I know you love it. So instead of me posting, I'll just keep stopping by to see your stuff. By the way, I also wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your kind words about the shop. It really means so much to me and has helped to keep me motivated. I really appreciate it.
All my favorite stuff!!! Red, vintage linens, white milk glass, hydrangeas, and thrifty to boot. What great deals. Really nice job putting it all together.

I really love red and white and those checked plates are darling. The candleholder really adds to the table too, very pretty. Your sunflower picture should be framed, it is perfect!
love the sunflower, funny, i have those same dishes packed in my picnic basket right now as we head to the lake for dinner, checks scream summer to me~
So cute -- I love your red and white - especially the checked plates -- I got some like that in black and white - you've given me some great ideas hee.
Mimi,
so gorgeous, the checked red and white table is so cheerful and happy. Thank you for sharing this happiness.
Greetings, Johanna
I love Red. I love white and I certainly love your red and white. Especially the check dishes..
Those red checks are so cheery, and I love that candle holder! I think this setting could make even me a happy morning person!
Back to say I meant candleholder, as in one!
The red check plates are not the ones TJMaxx has, yours are much better!
I have them in the black check from TJM and they are a no name brand, Yours have a pedigree! :)
Love the red and white! The checked plates are great - I got them in black and white. I was tempted to get the red. You did such a great job with them.

This table is so happy in the red checks! They always remind me of picnics and happy family times. I love those checkered dishes--will have to look for them! Linda
What a fun red and white table. I have to admit that I have never done the yard sale thing either. I am getting the notion I had better start!
What an adorable table! It is just so festive and fun in the red check! Love all the details on this. Great job!
XO,

Your sunflower and table are both so bright and happy! Everything is so pretty, love the dishes!...Christine
What a nice red and white table setting!
Love your pretty red and white table setting!
You've used your red and white checks to create an extremely well-balance design. I love the duplication of the checks in the table cloth and then again in the accent plates. The white milk glass goblets add a crisp bright effect. Well done. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
Mimi, I love the hydrangea color, so pretty! and the red and white is beautiful, especially that last picture, love it!

I'm in love with the red tablecloth, and those adorable plates. I'm kinda partial to red. :)
Lovely your round table setting, the clothtable, the plates are beautiful, and I loved the water goblets, gorgeous!Fatima, Scrapart.
I love red and white and if there are checks too, even better! This is such a cheery, summery table. You have found some real treasures at amazing prices. Your sunflower is gorgeous!
Red and white table settings remind me of my grandma's kitchen. She had the traditional red checked tablecloth, and white dishes to go with it. Always gives me a warm feeling. Yours is wonderful!
LOVE the color of the hydrangeas.
