Nature Challenge

This week Cuisine Kathleen challenged us to a nature theme...birds, bees, flowers and trees...I chose to do the only thing I could think of that used my favorite blue green combination...dragonflies. The salad plates are trimmed in blue and green, so I ran with it...

I started with square green woven mats. These were $3.98 for 4 at Savers.

To the mats I have stacked 3 plates...charger, dinner and salad.
Charger-Gibson Regalia
Dinner plate-Wedgwood Hedge Rose
Salad plate-Portmeirion-Lakeside

The flatware is Oneida Louisiana.



The glassware are my favorite cobalt stems. They are such a vibrant shade of blue, I use them every chance I get.

I used a plain cobalt napkin held with the dragonfly napkin rings.

The centerpiece is just a low white bowl with a few tiny plants and a little squirrel holding a pine cone. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit today...hope you will be back again.

Earth Day Table

I have been having problems with the computer, need a new hard drive so there will be little text this week...I want to get this posted before it crashes again.

It's time to head out to Let's Dish at Cuisine Kathleen's. I wasn't sure exactly what an Earth Day tablescape was so I went with blues/greens/white. Sky, trees/plants and clouds along with insects! I hope you choose something a little simpler for a theme next time, Kathleen! Thanks for hosting...I know it takes a lot of your time, you invite us, and you take the time to visit...this is very much appreciated by all of your guests.
