Something bright and warm looking seemed to fit the bill for my table this week. I started with bright yellows, pinks and raspberry reds.
To that I added a pinkish napkin held with a raspberry napkin ring. Keeping with the color theme I used the same yellow handled flatware as I did last week. It makes me smile!
The dishes started with a raspberry charger, topped with white plates ended with a cream soup bowl.
The glassware is clear.
The simple hurricane candle served as the centerpiece.
Today I am hosting a luncheon of soups, corn muffins, and assorted crackers for 11 guests. Dessert will be a fruit pizza or brownies with maraschino cherries and nuts. I will be using the dishes in my header...will take some photos, if I have time.
Thanks for taking the time to visit today, do come back the next time.

Your table is so bright and cheery Marigene! I love the placemats! We are to be a high of 30 today with a high of 55 tomorrow!! What the heck is up with Mother Nature this year?? I am counting the days to Spring :-)
How cheery to see this on a cold and snowy day! Beautiful table. Red and yellow are my two favorite colors, they just always cheer me up.
I love the dishes and the silverware is cute and adds a note of fun to the picture.
Very nice, Marigene. I really enjoyed seeing this today.

Marigene, This whole table makes me smile. I love the bright, warm colors. The chargers are great, but I am really in love with that flatware. The handle is so wonderful. I must find some! Thanks for sharing. Dianne
Such a pretty table. I love all the elements and all your Goodwill treasures. I really like the soup bowls..I have some swirl dinner plates that would match. Such a cheerful table anyone would love to sit at!

That is a perfect for this frigid snowy weather we are having! Love the placemats, and the cream soup cups are so pretty.
10 inches on the ground and more on the way, solid ice out there! Hope you are having better weather than we are!
Marigene,
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, dear friend!!!
I adore the cream soup bowl! I've been finding a few pieces of this Ironstone recently...and I'm head over heel in love with the simplicity of its pattern and the grace it brings to ones table!
Enjoy your luncheon and I'm crossing my fingers you took photos!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Marigene,this looks so cozy. Beautiful table!
Now Marigene, your table is so cheerful and just a pick-me-up to look at and just what's needed for the month of January.
Your table is warm and inviting and will chase away anyone's winter blues! A soup luncheon sounds like such a great idea, I wish I could come!

Great to have you at Seasonal Sundays.

Gorgeous placemats! This table is simple and elegant...perfect for your luncheon.
What a great punch of color for this too white season! We've been buried under snow and lots of cold weather. I really like that clear glass stemware- that swirled stem is my favorite!
Love your bright colorful placemats. Your table works so beautiful together. Coming to you from my new blog.
We have been cold in Houston, too, but today it's 70 and if the weather forecast is correct it will be back in the high 20's by Tuesday night. Crazy. You've found a way to warm your day with a cheery table.
