It's hard to believe another week has flown by and is, once again, time for Tablescape Thursday at
Between Naps On The Porch with Susan.
To enlarge any picture, just click on it.
Seeing the sun has been shining the past few days made me want to set a bright, cheery, simple table.
The placemats have the same colors as the plates and I used a plain red, fringed napkin.
The hexagonal charger plates were bought at TJMaxx. There is no maker or pattern backstamp, but says they are microwave/dishwasher safe, produced in Portugal. The beading around them is similar to the beading on the dinner plate.
The hexagonal dinner plates with tiny beading around the edges I picked up last year at Goodwill. I thought they would look good for spring or early summer. They are Johnson Bros.
Ming pattern, circa 1974-1978.
The salad bowl is plain red, no markings, therefore nothing is known about it. Another thrift store purchase.
Blue glassware is a tumbler and a wine stem.
The flatware is Oneida
Afterglow circa 1956.
Rim shot.
Placesetting.
Entire table.
The centerpiece is a mixture of real and faux flowers.
Candlelit table.
Thank you all who are nice enough to leave a comment letting me know you have enjoyed your visit here. I hope you come back often.

Is the GOP coming to dinner? jk I love the placemats and the overall affect of the table. I did not think I would like the good ol fashioned red, white and blue, but this looks great together. My hat goes off to you!
It IS a cheery table, Marigene! I love those placemats -- from Williams-Sonoma? The patterned plates are also stunning -- what a find! You always "build" a great table!
Marigene, I just love red. I don't comment often but I always have to come and look. Eye candy! Hugs, Ilene

Just today, I was trying to get my list ready for Memorial Day weekend. Seeing your red, white and blue tablescape has given me inspiration! Another beautiful table Marigene!
Your table is beautiful! I love those placemats.
Pretty table Marigene! I love those Johnson Bros plates. I would have never guessed they were JB. I have never seen that design before. Everythng looks great and so fun.
Very happy looking table, Marigene! I love RED!! This could go either way...looking a wee bit Oriental or even somewhat PA Dutch, to me. Of course, it will be perfect for Memorial Day, too.
Well done!
fondly,
Rett
p.s. Sorry you didn't get to enjoy your lilacs much this year. Bummer!
What is it about certain colors? Red certainly is so cherry and whenever you see it, it just brightens your day. What gorgeous placemats - almost a shame to cover up all that beauty. I love the hexagonal shape. That is so unusual and fun. Great table.
Your table is so pretty. Love the ming pattern on the plates. I bet you can use that a lot! I love the blue and red together. Your silver is so pretty. Great table.
Red white and blue.. some of my favorite summer colors. Very pretty. I want to sit down and be surprised at your cooking next !!!
Very Nice table,Marigene. Beautiful china.
Yet another J-Bro pattern that I LOVE! Great shape and colors, it's almost a warm up for the fun red, white and blues to come! Glad you got some sun:@)
So bright and cheerful! Love those Ming plates. The octagonal shape is always fun.

Blessings My Friend,
Oh how pretty! I DO love red! :) Funny, at first I thought your post was red, white and cherry....and that's what I'm showing on my blog today! :) Then I realized it was cheery! I love that you have two sets of dishes in the hexagon shape. They are beautiful.
Donna
I love this, Marigene. It is very cheerful...Christine
Cheery is the right word for your beautiful table! Love those placemats.

Those hexagonal plates are the bomb! What a wonderful find. Such a colorful and decorative table - and so much fun.
What a beauty! Love your mix of colors. Everything about this table will be smiles to those who sit around it! Love the hexagon shaped chargers - so unique! ~Susie
Marigene,
I adore the red, white and blue dishes! You have a lovely way of showcasing all the needed accessories! Thank you for the inspiration!
Fondly,

I'm enjoying your clear, primary colors. The place mats are a great color and design. You're also all set for Memorial Day Weekend! Thank you for sharing your lovely design and for stopping by my post. Cherry Kay
Bright and cheery it is and what a find from Goodwill those plates are. I like your love of color. Oh, and I did finally get here!
Very pretty...you just can't go wrong with red! The patterned plates are great! Lynne
Very cheery for sure! Love the placemats, and also that you mixed real and faux flowers for your centerpiece. I like to add greenery from the yard to faux flowers to give them a more realistic look as well!
Thanks for sharing!
Sherri:)
Your table is so fantastic and so colorful with your Ming pattern plates and red salad bowls. I am loving the Ming pattern......have never seen it before. You certainly titled your post correctly.....as your table is truly "cheery" !!
What a fantastic table -- and you are such a good thrift shopper. You put the whole thing together so well, and it is so festive.
Placemats are lovely and the dish is such a pretty pattern. Love your red white and blue table, Marigene, very pretty!
Wow Marigene, what an amazing table. Very striking and rich with color.
