Another cheerful blue and green table...my favorite color combo! The Vera tablecloth is what dictated the colors this week. I used white napkins and cobalt glass napkin rings.
I started the placesetting with a Vera Bradley blue charger, then a white Royal Staffordshire dinner plate, a green Bordallo Pinheiro plate and finally a cobalt square soup/salad bowl by Von Pok & Chang.
The flatware is the ever-present Oneida Louisiana.
The glassware is Artland Iris in cobalt and the green wine hock is possibly Imperlux.
There is a little bit of yellow in the tablecloth so I got bright yellow tulips for the centerpiece...I will be sad when the tulips won't be around until next year! The vase was someone's ceramic project, it is cobalt with lemons on it. I also added a blue candle holder with a squatty candle.
The rim shot.
I used the Pop Art setting on the camera for the top photo...a little bit bright, I'd say!
Thanks for taking the time to visit today. Please come back the next time. Have a great week!
I will join Diann at The Thrifty Groove for her final Thrifty Things Friday...this meme will be missed by many. Thank you Diann and Linda for hosting each week!

Marigene,
Blue & green was my favorite color combination as a new bride! WoW!!! This makes me realize why!!! Gorgeous!!! Looks as if you're ready for a celebration be it Mother's Day, Graduation. . .any occasion!!!
I read a tip in a magazine the other day to place a straight pin through the base of your tulip blossoms to keep them upright longer!
"Mr. Ed" & I are heading out to Front Porch Antiques in Ottawa tommorrow for their City Antiques & Flea Market. I'm on "a hunt" for a new piece for my next project!!!
Fondly,
Pat
That table is very cheerful for sure. Have a wonderful weekend Marigene...
Another tablescape that makes looking at your blog the delight of the week. bbb
I love all of it! One of my favorite things about your tablescapes is use lots of real colors! All your tables make me smile. Thank you for joining TTF throughout the last three years. You have always inspired me Marigene!
Mari...you really outdid yourself this time! The blue and green is not expected but looks so fantastic together.. Genius! I really love the dishes! I think this screams SPRING!! :)

Wow - that table really pops. I'd never have thought to put those all together but they work wonderfully and look terrific. I can just see a spring luncheon menu.
Wow!! I love those vivid colors!! Especiallyyour stemware! They really look amazing. I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!!
Last week's was a favorite with the bright reds and yellows but I'd say that you have outdone yourself this week with the gorgeous tablecloth and vibrant blues, greens, and yellows. Love the tulips as the centerpiece. Can't wait to see what next week brings.........
Happy Mother's Day.

You put together the prettiest colors, Marigene. I love how you mix your dishes and the stemware is absolutely gorgeous. Of course, you tablecloth is the perfect backdrop. Happy Mother's Day blessings to you. xo
Gosh, that table looks gorgeous. Love the glassware, too. Susan
This is, indeed, a cheerful table, but that is true of most of yours. BTW, I always appreciate your visits, especially when there's no tablescape!!
Really pretty combination of colors! I've always loved yellow and blue together too.
Oh Marigene, you have the nock forcreating such fabulous tables! Blue and Green is great and your setting is awesome!

I am green with envy over your green stems, just gorgeous! Love the tablecloth and the combination of plates you used. Beautiful! Hope you are well, haven't heard from you .
I am tired, tired, tired!
I didn't know Diann was stopping here meme, that's too bad!
Hi, Marigene!!! Either you've been feeling super upbeat, or you're trying to get out of a funk. One or the other. I can't decide which. Whichever it is, it has encouraged you to go all out with color...and I love it!!! Brilliant color is so uplifting, and with the grey days we've had around these parts lately, we could all do with a little uplifting of one kind or another.
The tablecloth was a great starting point and has all the colors that are great to pull on. I think the yellow tulips are a brilliant move.
Sunshine today after how many days of grey? Enjoy it!
Just catching up on my blog reading, Marigene. This is such a pretty table. The colors are so bright and cheery...perfect for a Spring setting.
Hi Marigene,
This is a beautiful and cheerful spring table! Your colors play so well together. :) I'm glad to see you using those Bordallo Pinheiro plates; I just love mine. The tablecloth is really pretty, Marigene! Every element on your table looks great; I love the bright tulips, the plates and chargers, the flatware, pretty napkins, and the gorgeous green wine hocks. Once again, you've set a lovely table -- thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Denise

I love all the color you have been doing lately. It just perfect for this time of year. This table is awesome. I love cobalt. Wonderful. Dianne
LOVE blue and green and your table is one of the best examples I've seen! Love it all!!!
I love this! I don't think my camera has a setting like that, but I did find one that allows for extremely vivid colors. That's pretty fun!
Wow, lots of pops of color. I love it Marigene. So bright and cheerful. Happy Spring....
You know I love the yellow and blue...so cheerful indeed! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!...hugs...Debbie
