How exciting...I can't believe this is my 100th post! September 18th, will be my first year anniversary, too. How very fast that year has gone by.
To enlarge any picture, just click on it.
Here we are, again, ready to ooh and ahh all the tables being shown for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. Susan, thank you for hosting my favorite weekly meme. Please do visit all the tables this week, you will be in for a real treat...lots of eye candy for all you dish lovers.
I have wanted to do a yellow and blue table for quite some time. For some reason yellow dishes are hard to come by at the thrift stores!
I found these cute napkins several months ago at Savers. They are Marat, made in France. The white, blue and yellow striped tablecloth came from Salvation Army. I thought it perfect to go with the napkins.
The chargers were a gift from my sister, Jerry. They have roosters on them, so I tried to keep with the rooster theme, using blue and white rooster plates along with plain white and blue smaller plates. The soup bowl is Homer Laughlin.
We were out riding the countryside Sunday so we stopped an scooped up an armful of Kansas wild sunflowers. The roadsides are filled with these pretty little flowers this time of year. I love them, but they have so much pollen that falls all over everything and stains it. I left them on the back porch overnight and kept going out to shake that nasty pollen off before bring them inside.
Layers of yellow, blue and white.
The glassware is an amber Colony Whitehall, I think some also call it the Cube pattern and the blue wine is made by Colony, pattern Park Lane
Placesetting.
Thank you to all who have taken time to check out my table this week; a special thanks to all who have left a comment.

Congrats on 100, Mimi! I remember the first :) That's a lot of dishes!
Love the napkins, very pretty!
Looking forward to the next couple hundred!
Woo Hoo! Happy 100th post Mimi!! I am so glad you started blogging! Love blue and yellow so how could I not LOVE this table. The chargers with the roosters are soooo cute! Love those napkins also. Once again a great job and of course how can you go wrong with Sunflowers!
Congratulations on your 100th post!!! An exciting milestone for you!! I love your blue and yellow sunflower table! So perfect for both Kansas and for France. (I have noticed that before... that there seem to be some similarities between rural southern France and rural Kansas. Don't you agree?)
Congratulations, Marigene! Who knew!
I am sorry to be late to the party, but my blog list disappeared!! Poof, gone!
Those napkins are fabulous! Your whole blue and yellow table is!
Love those chargers and the blue rooster. I don't like roosters, but blue ones are just fine!
Here's to 100 more! Achoo, that pollen is making me sneeze, but the flowers are pretty!
Hi Mimi, blue and yellow is one of the prettiest combinations ever! The room I am sitting in right now is blue and yellow, and I love it. Your table is so inviting and I can't believe those beautiful sunflowers just are yours for the taking on the roadside! I guess it pays to be in the middle of nowhere! Linda
Happy 100th! Post, not birthday of course. I love those blue chicken plates. The blue and yellow combo is always one of my favorites.
Congratulations on your milestone, Mimi!
I love those beautiful yellow plates!
Congrats on the 100 posts and the year of blogging! I love these colors together. The stack of plates looks so pretty. How lucky to be able to pick the flowers...I wish!
Congratulations!
As always, enjoyed your post. Always my eye candy for the day!
I notice you put Garnet weather on your sidebar. I'll bet you know where Mont Ida is. My great grandparents lived there! They were descendants of Pennsylvania Germans who came to America with their pastor, Alexander Mack. Aunt Viv always pronounced it "Mont Idy". Heh. Hugs, Ilene jonesieok (at) att.net

This is so pretty. I love the yellow plates with the embossed rooster and the blue and white rooster on top. The colors are so fun and I don't associate them with roosters so it makes it extra special.

Very pretty! I love the yellow plates with the roosters- so cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for commenting on my fall table. I found that birdcage last Sunday and only paid $14.99 for it. They had 3 smaller ones and I wanted to buy them all!
Congratulations on your 100th post. I don't blog but I follow you each week. You always post beautiful tables and today is no exception. The rooster plates are beautiful and i love that you used roadside blackeyed susans for the centerpiece. We have a few in south Ga. but I have seen hundreds roadside in Illinois. Can't wait to see what you have for 101. Hugs, SavannahGranny
I love it Mimi! you have so many of my favorites on this table. The rooster plates in blue and white - I am coveting those, and those yellow chargers - gosh! I want those too! The napkins are so pretty. This is a perfect table to celebrate 100 posts - Congratulations! laurie
Such a pretty table! I love the blue and yellow together but gosh I really love your rooster plates. Both are adorable! I was looking at the blue plates and thinking how much I adored them then saw the yellow ones and felt the same way again! Beautiful setting!
Just beautiful. Love the color combination.
