Good Bye Pink and Red
It's that time again...Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. Thank you, Susan, for hosting. If you have never checked out the tables, you are missing out on something very inspiring.
To enlarge any photo, just click on it for more detail.
I am about done with pink and red for a while. I chose blue for the nice clear blue of the sky the past couple of days. I am thinking SPRING from now on. The blue and white tablecloth is one I found at Savers, the napkins were from a cooking forum swap several years ago and the flatware is Rogers Deluxe Plate Gracious 1939, which is the pattern I grew up with.
The place setting is a white ironstone charger/dinner plate with a blue edged dinner plate, white salad plate and clear blue soup bowl stacked atop one another.
The water/iced tea/lemonade glass is Indiana Glass Whitehall. These are one of my favorites, at least until I get my hands on the green! The blue is a crystal clear shade...beautiful.
Stacked plates.
Candlelit table.
Thank you for taking the time to come visit. Hope to see you here next week.

Looking good, Marigene....blue is one of my favorite colors so this one warms my heart on a clear, cold, and windy VT day. The silverware brings back good old memories.

Delma

Always like it when you use flowers! Love the blue glasses. RC

I really love how cheerful your tablescape is. I love the blue and white theme but you handled it more comfortably than most. I'd really enjoy sitting at this table. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
Blue always looks so clean and fresh. Love that tablecloth and the stacked plates are perfect. I also love those glasses. I am feeling more and more ready for Spring. hugs, Linda
The blue and white looks very pretty {and spring~like}. I love the water glasses!

Thank you for using my favorite tablecloth! We are going to have a couple of warmer days but then back to cold and more winter yuck coming. love, bbb
The candlelight really looks pretty with these colors. I love the cobalt blue of your bowls.
Thank you, Thank you I really love it. It sure does make spring seem just around the corner especially in our deep freeze in VT. Thanks for the pick me up.
I always love blue and white when tablescaping and you have really done a beautiful job with your gorgeous collections of dishes! It looks so fresh and happy!
Best wishes always,
Natasha.
Marigene, we were thinking alike this week. I love this blue and white tablescape with your collections of dishes! It's a crazy week for me, so I won't be playing TT this week. But my blue and white table is set up and ready to go for next time.
I love those glasses.
Very pretty, happy table today Marigene. I'm gonn go Google those glasses.

Marigene, you're right -- blue and white looks so refreshing after all the reds and pinks we've seen lately. I really like the tablecloth -- it makes a great base for your pretty stacked dishes. Love those glasses!
The blue is refreshing! Our skies started out blue this morning and now are gray and ominous.
I am tired of my pink and red too, but it hasn't been out very long so I don't know if I can put it all away yet, but it won't be long.
Hi Marigene!
I'm with you about the Valentine look for awhile. I think that is why I went so different with the colors this week for tablescaping. I will probably post the pink table in a week or two. I love that you did blue. Nothing is fresher than blue and white. this table looks like Spring should be heading our way soon! Very pretty!
I'd like to get my hands on the green version of those glasses too. I do love your blue ones, though.
I am very ready for spring myself and really like your table.
Love that tablecloth and the glasses are so pretty! Looks really crisp.
Pretty table and I am done with red and pink too...until Spring, ie!
Your blue and white table sings of spring time. Nice thought! Beautifully done. ~ sarah
Me too, went straight to blue.. Your table is quite lovely. I love the dishes you chose. Great silverware. very nostalgic.
Love the blue and white! Looks very springy!
What a crisp clean looking table. It would look lovely in a country farmhouse kitchen. Loved the blue and white and once had a set of those glasses but my dil has them now. Very pretty.
I almost reached for blue today too! Beautiful! but I do see your Fostoria too! Thanks for the info. . .
Pretty blue table! I really like the mixture of the print patterns! Love those blue glasses (like my green glasses!)

I love plaid, and I adore your plaid tablecloth! Your mix of patterns is very cleverly done...a wonderful balance...great eye for design. I have the Indiana Whitehall in blue, and it's one of my go-to patterns, too. Thank you for sharing your charming design and for stopping by my post. Cherry Kay
Lovely!

Your blue and white table is so inviting and the colorful flowers add to the warmth of the total setting. I want your blue glasses....the color is such a soft share of blue....robin's egg blue and a difficult color to find. Thanks for sharing.
What a "cool" change from all of the red and pink. This is such a pretty table and I can see you are already thinking spring
Hi Mimi,
Yes, you're right! By sweetie things & see You nxt time ( I mean our lovely & romantic pieces).

Hey there, Marigene! I love the pink with the blue. Nice change, and it really looks springy! You did a great job! Have a nice weekend!!!
Marigene,
What a lovely blue and white post! This would have been "perfect" in my "dream home" where blue was the main color theme! Thank you for such a lovely post! It has been warm enough here on the prairie to open windows and doors the past two days! Have a wonderful weekend, dear!
Fondly,
Pat
NICE! I like the water glasses. I really like it when you put homemade food on the table, blueberry muffins would have been great! Get cookin'! I guess I'm just hungry. Lynne
Marigene-I am definitely a blue person and I love this! If I find the green glasses, I'll get them and we can swap :) I love that half of your grands call you one thing and the other half has another name. We did that in our family too ! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
I love all of your blues together and those are great looking glasses. I too am more than ready for spring. Nice to see a spring like tablescape. Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving me your nice comment.

You have used my favorite lily in your centerpiece and coordinated the table beautifully.
A beautiful table-- love blue and white!
Morning Margiene,
and thanks for coming by with your sweet comments.
Love your blue table, very nice.
I have a tablecloth just like yours but mine is red, but I love the blue.
So pretty.
I love blue and pink together too,
looks like a spring table to me.
Blessings hon,
Nellie
I love blue too but my room doesn't work well with it. I love the drinking glasses..I agree candlelight adds just that right touch! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Liz
thanks for your sweet comment. I love your glasses. Just beautiful!
Your table reminds me of a romantic summer picnic! Blue and white always looks so fresh!
Have a beautiful week, Marigene~
