Another week has passed and it is time for
Tablescape Thursday with Susan of
Between Naps On The Porch. Thanks for hosting this weekly meme, Susan.
To enlarge any photo, just click on it.
Inspiration for this week's table were the
Laurie Gates dinner plates I found at TJMaxx for $1 each. I hit the jackpot as there were not the usual 2 or 3, but 4 of them! They are dark cocoa brown with red, orange, green and yellow.
My daughter walked in and wanted to know why I was doing a fall table...told her, "no, it
could be is a warm weather table with all the bright colors. Green for grass, brown for the bark on the trees, red for Gerbera daisies, orange for marigolds and yellow for buttercups...see, it is a warm weather table"!
I have used Waechtersbach
Orange Peel salad plates, which is a bright orange.
The unmarked soup bowl is a true red.
The bread/butter or appetizer plate is Taylor, Smith & Taylor's
Lu-Ray Pastels in yellow. I tried to get a close up but it doesn't show the true color, which is a really pretty shade of buttery yellow. I tried it with the flash...made it look white.
The flatware is Rogers Deluxe Plate
Gracious 1939.
The glassware is a really nice brown, not amber at all. I have no idea who the maker or what the pattern is.
The plate rims stacked.
I didn't have anything specific in mind for a centerpiece so I used oranges, lemons and candles in a wooden tray.
Table overall. At the last minute a added a small vase of tiny white mums to the table.
Thank you to all who have taken the time to visit my blog...I noticed I have a few more new Followers this week, thank you, thank you...I really appreciate all the support!

Those square plates are so cool. What a great deal! I love the colors you add and I think the glassware is perfect touch. Nice table!!
Great job on your TJM buy!! I like all the colors together - fall looking or not! Love centerpieces with the fruit..always looks fresh.
Did you miss the storm???
Quite lovey and i'd say it's a warm weather table. Really like the candle and fruit center piece.
Plates look great! Love how you put it all together, Marigene! Great price! I love the way the candle looks with the fruit!
What a deal on the 4 brown plates from TJ Maxx. My kinda deal. I like your explanation of your table to your daughter. It does have Fall colors, but we can all look at tablescapes in different ways. You did fine with the picture of the plate that is mild yellow. You are a great photographer as well. I would be pleased to have a seat at this table.
Your table is beautiful!
I absolutely love the square plates. The colors are wonderful!
What a lovely tablescape. I love those square plates. You really hit the jackpot with those. ~~Sherry~~
Like the square plates and the glassware...RC
I really like the colors-I am a fall person, but it looks like the beginning of spring-with the oranges and lemons.

Marigene,
You really did score with those fun and colorful plates. You could use them almost any time of year!
I LOVE your centerpiece. It looks organic and simple and so welcoming. Like saying, if you want a little something extra just take a piece of fruit!
I am so happy to be back.

Marigene, adding both red AND orange plates to your pretty new square ones was genius! It really makes for an eye-catching table, and the fruit centerpiece is just right.

They did set a beautiful table and I think it works for anytime, not just fall. You must be so excited to have something that pretty at that price! For fall you could add another shade of brown...the yellows and reds work for now!
I love the fruit with the plates. Nice.
Love those new plates, I thought they were black. Great centerpiece, and those brown glasses are really nice. You find great things, M!
Your new plates are really quite fun. I love the flowers on them. You can use them all year long I think. Your table looks great.
I love all the warm earth tone colors. Great buy at $1 each. Beautiful tablescape, Marigene!...Christine
The neat thing is that these are plates for ALL seasons. I can envision them on a soft blue tablecloth for a spring evening or luncheon. I love the chocolate square plates...so many options. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
Great table setting! And what a great price on the plates! Your colors are so lovely.

Marigene,
Adore your warm colors for this tablescape! The butter yellow salad plate was striking with the orange and brown. I'd say this tablescape could be used year round! Don't you love how our family members "pick up" on the decor when we're setting our tables for the memes?
Fondly,
Pat

Wow! $1 for each of those great square plates! You did hit the jackpot! your table looks so pretty, and I love the use of the fruit and candles in the wooden bowls. laurie
This is such a bold table and I love it. It feels very tropical and not fallish at all. What a great vuy on the plates. Joni
Well these colors are my all time favorite...I think my entire house is this scheme. I love your table setting!
It looks beautiful. It's nice to see those great plates you bought recently in action. I like the way you think, it doesn't have to be a fall table.
I totally agree that your table transcends any specific season! LOVE those orange plates!!!!!
I love the colors and shape of the patterned plates. So pretty!
Nancy
By now you must have had to build a storage shed for all the wonderful finds you have with which to do tables. I so look forward each week to your new treasures.
Although those colors tend to make one think of fall, they are beautiful no matter what time of year they are used! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment about my snowflake tablescape. Love having you drop by. Thanks for sharing too! Sandi
Beautiful.
I really like the square plates.

Hi Marigene! What a lovely tablescape! Those square plates really show off well, don't they? I have some broan glasses, too, and I have been surprised at how much they seem to go with! Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie
Gorgeous Marigene! The colors are very warm and inviting and can be used anytime! LOVE the inspiration square plates, they are DELICIOUS!!! I'm thinking there are SO MANY possibilities with them! Thank you for sharing,

Those dishes are lovely! It is funny - I usually like the candle light pictures better, but in this case I think the natural light brings out the bright SPRING colors. I love the BROWN glassware, unique and very pretty!

I just wanted to tell you what a beautiful table setting you have. I just love those 'fall' colors. I wish dear hubby did! :o) I had a set of gorgeous deep red square plates from JCPenny's that were on clearance after Christmas. They were so festive..almost Mexican in style. But Tim didn't like those bright colors so I sold them. I guess I'll just have to enjoy your lovely table setting. I think it looks like a great spring table setting!
Blessings,
Donna @ Comin' Home
Reminds me of summer! So pretty with the oranges and flowers.
TJM is the best! What a great find! Love those wonderful bright florals. They look great with your other bright plates! Perfect to shake off the winter blahs!! Thank you for stopping by!! Hugs!
What a gorgeous table on a cold Winter's day!! Gorgeous!! :)
Hugs,

Beautiful plates! And for $1? Wow. I love the warm colors all year round. This is so pretty.
I am in love with those dinner plates. They remind me of Hawaii and the brown reminds me of Koka nuts. I am not sure I spelled that right. It is the large dark brown that they use to make men's leis. Beautiful table. Ginger
I totally love your tbcloth! It's gorgeous, what a great find...and yeah, your dishes go perfect, the whole thing is so beautiful. I love the fruit centerpiece, I like fruit in a centerpiece. Your square plates are awesome! Such talent my friend. Thank you for sharing and for your sweet comment. You're a wonderful lady.
LOVE
FABBY
