Get out your sunglasses! I have been anxious to use this eye-popping tablecloth since I found it a few months ago at Savers. When I spotted it, I was thrilled it was large enough to cover my table...so many times I find one I really like, but it is too small. I ♥♥♥ bright colors, this more than fits the bill! The vivid pink vase is a new acquisition from my last visit to Savers so it was also part of the inspiration, too.
This is the second year in a row that the rain has made it impossible to enjoy the lilacs inside...I had to find a few at the very top to cut to bring into the house...oh, they smell so wonderful, but won't last more than today as they are already shedding profusely!
I used white chargers and dinner plates as the anchors, then topped them with a bright yellow glass salad plate. I wanted to keep it fairly simple due to the melange of colors and shapes in the tablecloth.
Little pink flower shaped plates are being used for the rolls.
To keep with the fun I used my yellow handled Oxford Hall Fashion Ware flatware.
The glassware is reproduction Indiana Madrid. Unfortunately, I don't have any bright pink for a fun table! That will be remedied as soon as I find something fun, no stodgy glassware for me!
I used a plain pink napkin held with yellow bead napkin rings.
Thanks for taking the time to visit today...please come back the next time. Have a wonderful week!

How could you not be cheerful with that bright, colorful table, Marigene? I love your new vase, too, and it's perfect filled with lilacs. Happy weekend!

Beautiful! A great way to bring the outdoors in!
The colors! The colors! I love them. What a fun, festive,cheery, WILD table. I just love it,and those sunflower plates are to die for. Want those!
If you are able to find some really neat bright pink glassware around here, please let me know where in the heck you find it. I've been on the hunt for YEARS now, and I've not been successful. I did find some bright pink plastic tumblers a couple of years ago at Gordman's, but I would really like to find stemware. It's like clear and blue and green are the dominant colors when it comes to glassware. Li'l ol' pink just gets left out!
I really like the vivid colors in the tablecloth! In the dead of summer when everything is starting to kind of fade out a little, a tablecloth like this will wake you right up! It's a great Spring/Summer look, and you can pull from so many different colors. It almost looks like a Picasso painting!
Stepdaughter's master's degree graduation ceremony tomorrow and then Mother's Day with my Mom doing a little furniture shopping at Nebraska Furniture Mart. We'll just grab a casual bite to eat. Nothing fancy this year. We're all about the shopping this year!!!
Happy Mother's Day to you, my dear, sweet, funny Marigene!!! You are always a bright spot!
