This table topper caught my eye several months ago...reminded me of the wheat fields just before they are cut. The gold against the bright azure sky.
Tiny polka dotted napkins are held with blue/white ceramic rings.
The plate stack begins with an octagonal charger, then a Vera Bradley dinner plate (yes, I did use the VB chargers last week!), a Fred Meakin salad plate and finally a Bordallo Pinheiro dessert plate.
My favorite flatware by Oxford Hall Wear Ever in blue, which is a recent eBay purchase.
The glassware is a gorgeous shade of blue wine stem from the Dollar Store. I love the shape of them, as well as the color.
The centerpiece is a bowl of fresh vegetables and pitchers of basil.
Thanks for visiting today...hope you will come back next time. Have a wonderful weekend!
I will join Table It/Rustic & Refined.

I love the gold and azure combo! I've always admired the Vera Bradley plates :-) I hope you are having a nice weekend.
I'm loving you blue, Marigene. Your stacks of dishes always amaze me with the patterns and textures, and they look wonderful on your tablecloth. The eBay purchase of the flatware worked wonderfully well with your setting. The Dollar Tree goblets just can't be beat! Happy Sunday!
It's beautiful! I love all of the blue...and that tablecloth looks very French! Hope you are having a great weekend! Hugs...Debbie
Marigene, I love this! The colors are amazing and that topper is making me swoon. I love it with all the veggies and basil in the center. So colorful. This table would whet the appetite of your guests for sure. Dianne
As a Missouri gal, I can totally appreciate your reference to the golden fields of wheat against the deep blue open sky. I love driving along the country roads near our home and seeing the fields filled with wheat, corn, soy...it's like a summer ritual with me. It's kind of that in-between stage when summer is still going strong but we know that fall is just around the corner. It's so cool! You've captured that feel right here on this table, especially in using the fresh vegetables and basil for a centerpiece.
I feel so fortunate to live in the Midwest. I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but it has really shaped me from the cradle. I had such fond memories of going to my paternal grandparents' farm up in Sabetha, KS and seeing more fields than houses along the roads. I didn't appreciate it then nearly as much as I do now, but it's a forever memory.
GREAT tablescape, Marigene!
Love the blues and all the different shape you use. I would have never guessed the wine glasses were from the Dollar Store - Such a pretty color. Sue Z.
I never knew that VB sold china until now! Thanks for sharing...off to check out the VB dishes!

Marigene,
Vibrant hues of Kansas Farm Life done with such graceful taste, dear friend!!!Love the blue & white dinnerware! The blue & white polka dot napkins continue a lightheated feeling with your setting.
As a young bride, I remember seeing my father~in~law and his brother and father during a wheat harvest. Their sober looks and seriousness for their crop evident throughout the meal. Their laughter at the dining table the following week was such a relief to me.
I enjoyed your garden abundance centerpiece!!!
Fondly,
Pat
I love those blue plates and I love the green ones that you used with them last time! You have mastered the art of mixing, matching, and stacking dinnerware!!
Love your table, Marigene. I don't have much blue in my home but I always love it when I see how others use it.
Pretty blues, Marigene, but I was looking more at the veggies :) Don't tell me that big, ripe tomato is from your garden? All of mine are still green. Plenty of cukes though!
Marigene, that table topper is so vibrant. I love that gold against that dark blue, and your plate stack is perfect on the cloth. I want some of that flatware. It's wonderful. You definitely have a knack for great tables. laurie
So pretty, I'm such a "blue girl" - love it all! Especially that first photo of the layered dishes - lovely!
Pretty, pretty table. I'm a huge fan of blue in all shades!!
