A couple weeks ago when I was in Savers I found these really pretty aqua 12" dinner plates. They caught my eye being aqua and then I noticed the rooster so I knew immediately they would be going home with me. They were $3.99 for 4, but I was there on senior day so got 25% off. I noticed they has a couple small chips on the rim, but was sure I had some craft paint the same color. As large as they are, they will always be used as chargers, so there was no fear of food touching the paint. Can you see where I touched them up...I didn't think so!
I started with green woven place mats, added the aqua charger, then a green plate and finally the white, blue and green Valencia cream soups, that are used for salads more than anything.
I couldn't make up my mind about the glassware so chose Artland Iris green and a small aqua wine.
Again, I have used the Oneida Louisiana flatware.
The aqua hemstitched napkin is held with a tiny flower pot that I painted with the same touch up paint I used on the charger...and the candle holders!
The centerpiece is a painted wooden compote holding 4 large egg cups in off white and teal. The bottom says made in England, no maker or pattern. They came with white inserts...the eggs must be huge in England because even jumbo eggs fall to the bottom of the cups! I may sue them for pudding/mousse desserts instead of eggs.
Sorry for the quality of some pictures, it was raining and really dark when I took some.

I love the color combination in this tale. Those chargers are really something. Great patch up, and painting the napkin rings too. I love the green stemware. Maybe the egg cups are for turkey eggs? Joni
very pretty color combination. I love the colors of both of the glasses too. Your napkin holders are very sweet!
You set the most beautiful tables, Marigene. I love this color combination of soft blue and green.

I love the layers of dish patterns and the pretty color combo, Marigene. You always find such good bargains at Savers. The egg cups are so pretty and what a great idea to use them for mousse.

This is a BEAUTIFUL table!! I love your chargers: WHAT A DEAL!! You can use them with so many colors. Your dish stack is perfect: lots of colors and textures (love those cream bowls) Your centerpiece is colorful and unique. Thank you for sharing this special tablescape. Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
Hi, Marigene!!! You find the best stuff at Savers!!! You have an eye for the good stuff, no doubt!! And no...I couldn't tell at ALL where you touched those chargers up! They're great-looking, and I know you'll get lots of great use out of them.
I like it that you mixed aqua with greens and blues. It's a naturally pretty look. Works really well.
It's been tough to find days that aren't icky and cloudy to be able to photograph things. I think Tuesday was about it this week. Today was just CRAZY!!! It got so dark at one point in the late morning that I had to turn on lights in the house!!!
Congratulations on your pretty new find from Savers, you lucky gal! Have a terrific weekend!!!
Marigene your combination of the green and aqua is brilliant! I just love how pretty they are together. And your two goblets are gorgeous too. This just makes me think of the beautiful colors of spring and gets me so excited! Loved it!
Marigene,
I adore the soothing hues in your Spring Tablescape, dear friend!!!
Those (hidden) Rooster plates used as chargers are stunning!
I'm quite smitten with the handled bowls and saucer!
Hope you're experiencing warmer weather on your side of the Prairie, too!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Beautiful mixture of greens! The plate stack is gorgeous! I love those little flower pot napkin rings! Great job!

Hi Marigene,
Your table is lovely! I love the way you've combined greens, blues, and aquas -- such a pretty combination. You're right; those are big egg cups. :) I just LOVE your stemware; pretty stemware really catches my eye these days. Your table really says spring with all the green you've used. Thanks for sharing with us; I hope you have a great weekend!
Warm Hugs,
Denise
