Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has sprung, at least at my table, if not outside. I am anxious for it to stay warm, not just a day or two here and there.

The inspiration for this week's table came from the very bold, colorful, floral garden tablecloth. It has all the colors of the rainbow and then some! I used striped pink, green and white napkins for contrast. I did a simple silverware pocket fold with them.

I have used my pink and green Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage leaf dishes...my favorites this week.

The stemware is Luminarc France.

I am using family sterling in the Oneida Afterglow pattern, circa 1956.

Finally, the centerpiece is unopened pink tulips from WalMart.

This photo was taken and added on March 30, 2014...it is a sunny morning, not overcast so the picture came out so much brighter! And the tulips are standing a little taller after having a big drink of water.

Thanks for taking the time to visit today...come back next time.

I will join Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper.

6th Annual Saint Patrick's Day Crawl

It's that time of year, again...Cuisine Kathleen's 6th Annual Saint Patrick's Day Crawl...come join in the fun! Kathleen, I can't believe it has been 6 years!

This year I chose the colors of the Irish Flag (ORANGE, not red, green and white!) using the Vera tablecloth as the background, a solid green napkin with a white napkin ring and what else...cabbage plates!

Woods and Sons dessert plate...the yellow is actually real gold. For some reason it doesn't photo true.

The stack includes a green Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage charger plate, white Wedgwood Hedge Rose dinner plate, a Bordallo Pinheiro salad plate, a Wood & Sons Glenwood finally a new acquisition, white Bordallo Pinheiro soup/salad bowl. (I found the soup/salad bowls yesterday at Tuesday Morning). The green cabbage plates were a gift from my friend, Jo Jo, last year.

The glassware is IVIMA 1895 hobnail in green.

I chose the Oneida Afterglow sterling flatware.

The centerpiece is white daisies and a little Irish Leprechaun getting tipsy sitting in his pot of gold!

Thanks for visiting today...do come back next time...and be sure to follow along for the St. Paddy's Day fun at Cuisine Kathleen's!
