The linens are some I had a friend make for me a couple years ago from a shower curtain. She added the floral fabric to make a tablerunner. The napkins are held with a sailor's knot napkin ring. I chose plain patterned flatware to go with this pretty simple tablescape.
I chose plain woven chargers topped with a simple white dinner plate and a blue/white transferware salad plate. To this I added blue stemware.
The centerpiece is the colorful bouquet in a cobalt ice bucket that I use as a vase, large transferware bowl filled with porcelain carpet balls and blue candlesticks.
Thank you for visiting today, hope you will return next time.

It's been a while since you posted a tablescape....this one is really pretty...nice sky-blue bright!
love you,

One of my favorite tablescapes. Just perfection. bbb
This blue and white really SINGS to me! SO appealing, and the bright flowers are perfect with it.
Love the blues......the blue and white checked napkins and runner brought me back to about 50 years ago. I must have had something (clothes ??) with blue and white checks....deja vu. Glad you decided on this tablescape.

Very Pretty!
You can't beat a blue and white tablescape! Love that bouquet, so pretty and yes, lol, very colorful! I was thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen a post from you in a few weeks. Glad you had time to do this beautiful table this week.
hugs,

I hope you had a beautiful anniversary celebration dinner on that gorgeous table!
Happy Anniversary - your bouquet is perfect for you!!!! I love transfer ware - and I even have the same set as your plates - a set in blue - and a set in green- and a set in pink. I found the pink/red at a yard sale way out in the country - it had one tiny sign near the gate to enter the yard and that was all the advertising. I got an entire set - even lovely serving pieces, for 20.00 - can't beat that.
I love how all your pieces go together so well - putting blue willow with the plates. And I'd never heard of carpet balls before - so had to look them up - very interesting - and as usual. when I see new pretty things on your tables I want to hunt for them also.
Lovely table - have a grand weekend my friend.
Your husband did well with your anniversary flowers. Happy Anniversary. I am a blue and white fan so hooray I love your table. Creative to recycle and have new table linens. Great mixing of patterns and layering your dishes.
Have a great weekend. Thanks for your visit.
Very pretty. Your flowers are gorgeous, too. Love blue and white.
Love the blue and white. Perfectly cooling for the heat of summer! Beautiful flowers. I love the napkins! Dianne
Oh Marigene, I recognize those dishes -- the wonderful Liberty Blue pattern! :) Your salad plates are so pretty; I don't have any of those yet. I love this tablescape because I love blue and white. Your friend did a great job on the table linens; I adore the blue and white gingham -- it's just charming. The bowl with the blue and white carpet balls is so pretty and your flowers are gorgeous!! That was the perfect gift from your husband. :) I also like your blue stemware and the sailor's knot napkin rings. This is one of my favorite tables that you've done.
I have a blue and white table coming up soon, and I found some blue and white gingham placemats that I'm excited about using. Thanks for sharing, Marigene, and have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Denise
Love the blue & white & that extra pop of color! Looks like you have a lovely anniversary!
Marigene,
You sweet husband is a "keeper", dear friend!
This blue and white tablescape is gorgeous!
I love the harmonious blending of the floral and heck linens with your blue transferware.
You tow make one amazing couple. . .a winning combination!
Fondly,
Pat
Hi Marigene! Oh, your tablescape is so pretty! Love your pretty blue and white dishes, glasses and all of your accessories! Your flowers are very colorful and a late happy anniversary to you and your hubby. Thanks you so much for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Another lovely table! The blue & white plates are fantastic - every time I see those or the Liberty Blue plates I think, I'd really like to start collecting that set. Maybe after I downsize the collection this year.
OOPS - those are Liberty blue, I was reading the wrong line.
I love your cobalt table with the burst of color [your husband is a smart guy!] Beautiful Marigene, Happy anniversary!
Jenna
I love the cobalt blue and white! Lovely and beautiful!
I LOVE this table! Ah, transferware, another of my passions. Everything looks beautiful from those dazzling flowers on down. I'd like to see more done with these plates.
I love blue and white and this is so beautiful, Marigene. Love the plate pattern. Pretty runner too! Happy Anniversary!...Christine
