This week I decided to do something which I could use lavender from the front yard as the centerpiece...hunted through the dishes and linens to see if there was anything compatible. I found a table runner and napkins with the same colors. The plates, I found tucked into the corner of the dish armoire. I had forgotten about the lavender charger plates I found last fall at Goodwill.
The lime green and white placemats are some that Kathleen of Cuisine Kathleen sent me a couple months ago. I have been itching to use them in a Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch.
The placesetting consists of the lavender charger, a white dinner plate, salad plate, dessert plate and a white and plum saucer which we will use for the rolls.
The saucer has a tiny fruit center.
The glassware is a water/iced tea and a wine stem in amethyst.
Plate rims.
Lavender centerpiece.

I love the lavender and lime green! I have some placemats that I found at a thrift and since lavender isn't a color I have lots of I haven't done the tablescape yet. This has inspired me. Love the chargers they set off the white plates perfectly. Those place mats are to die for! Great job as always.
hugs, Linda

Lavender and lime sounds like a new Yankee Candle! And if it's not, maybe they want to think about that! Love your pretty colors and the floral plates are just beautiful:@)

I love this table! Great color combination - I can smell that lavender right now (LOL well actually I really can because I have a bunch in my office here).
Love the colors. Very pretty!
The lavender service plates are such a treat! I love the lavender from your yard....a treasure. Cherry Kay
For a minute I was thinking you were a most clever lady to have crocheted the placemats. Then, I would have been really envious! You've done a great job combining colors.
I just love everything about this and enlarged the pics just to get a better look. The colors are wonderful together. That's a favorite combination of mine.
Those pretty crochet doilies make such a neat touch to this pretty table!
The lime green placemats are wonderful! I love that color! And lavender... ummm smells heavenly!!
Beautiful!
Beautiful placemats! This is a wonderful combination!
So pretty...I love green and purple together. Adorable placemats too! I have a platter by Swinnertons that matches your saucers. Thanks for sharing!
What pretty placemats and very summery with the floral shape. My lavender isn't any where near ready to pick. I love that smell too. Pretty combination of lavender and lime!
A Pretty color combination in deed. The combination of lavender and lime green is awesome and I sure everyone likes it very much.
How lovely, Marigene! I love the colors! And I am sooo jealous! Your lavender is so pretty! I work so hard to keep it going in a little pot on my patio. I don't think it likes Georgia...or that's what I tell myself! lol Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie
I adore your lavender and lime. What pretty lavender you have. I didn't realize how many different varieties there are. Of course, my favorites are the glassware and the purple transferware plates. Just gorgeous.
Excellent choice of colors. I would very much like to dine at this table. Very inviting.
There must be a secret to raising Lavendar because I tend to lose mine. Not enough water? Too much..I don't know.
Your dishes are lovely and I love the lime colored ones.
Storage is a problem for me...so I haven't been doing the table scapes.
Loved the sea shells too!! Very interesting placemats. Not the usual and I liked that too.
Beautiful Tablescape with the lavender and lime green. Also the best collection of dishes. I impress the way you put this all together, also like your napkins, so sweet.
