One Of April's Best!

I think by now everyone knows that my favorite color for tablescapes is aqua, I have mentioned it enough times! The inspiration for this table came from an April Cornell tablecloth I found at TJMaxx back when the weather was still cold, can't say snowy, as we didn't get snow this past winter! This is one of my favorite tables, lots of aqua and orange. I really like this tablecloth, so many nice summer colors.  I paired the cloth with plain aqua napkins.

The plate layer begins with the Pier One white wood chargers, then an orange Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage charger, an aqua Mexcera cabbage dinner plate, and finally a gold kidney shaped Bordallo Pinheiro salad plate. I have also used Hoenig of California aqua apple dishes to hold the rolls.

The glassware is Pioneer Woman can be found at WalMart.

The cute little metal candle holder is from Hobby Lobby last year. I found the aqua candles at Goodwill several years ago

This cute little bowl was found at Goodwill several years ago.

I found this aqua pitcher at TJMaxx when I first started blogging in what seems like years ago!

The mums and alstroemeria were the only two orange bouquets I could find at the market the other day. Surprisingly they look pretty good together.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you will come back next time.

Easter 2016

Bordallo Pinheiro's new line of cabbage dishes was my inspiration for this year's Easter table. The new line is called San Raphael. The colors are the same as the "old" cabbage dishes, just the shape has changed. They are almost round, with no separate leaves showing. I found only three of the purple dinner plates after scouring the city of all the Tuesday Mornings. My sweet sister-in-law found three more for me in the Tuesday Morning in her area of Ohio and mailed them to me. Thank you so much, Rondi.

I started with a floral tablecloth instead of a traditional Easter one. I chose solid purple cotton napkins held with ceramic bunny napkin rings.

The plate stack starts with a white wood charger, then I alternated green and purple Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage plates.

Pioneer Woman has a line of dishes sold at WalMart, so I picked up the plum water/lemonade stems to go with the purple cabbage plates. Once again, the Oneida Louisiana flatware is being used.

The centerpiece is the bottom portion of a small cabbage tureen filled with Easter candies and colored eggs...I had lavender peeps to add, but forgot the yucky little things. I also used 2 cones filled with candies and eggs. The flowers are purple carnations and alstroemeria in lavender Mason jars. I do not have an artistic gene in my body, but I painted some eggs for the occasion. 

I want to thank Jemma of At Home With Jemma for the nice little package I received for having my number drawn on last week's Thoughts Of Home On Thursday. Some of the little eggs on the dessert plates were part of the package. If you have never stopped by her blog, you should take a few minutes to read it. Thank you again, Jemma.

Thanks for visiting today, hope you will come back next time.

HAPPY EASTER!
