A Little Sun And A Little Grey In The Kansas Sky


I was drawn as winner of a nice package from  At Home With Jemma/Thoughts Of Home On Thursday  a few weeks ago. One of the gifts was a tablerunner made by Jemma.  Thank you, again for all the wonderful treasures, Jemma. The colors fit this week's weather perfectly...sunny one day and grey and rainy the next...hence the yellow, gray, white and black tablerunner became the inspiration for this tablescape.



I chose some grey and white ikat type napkins to go with the runner. I used the same International flatware as in the last tablescape.




The dish stack begins with the Pier One wood chargers, yellow Bordallo cabbage, grey Design Ideas dinner plate and finally a yellow frilly BP cabbage salad plate.


The smokey glassware is a thrift store find.


Being lazy and not wanting to go out, I used my Iittala Festivo candlesticks for a centerpiece.




This is what Jemma sent in the gift pack, table runner, napkins, gold foiled eggs, page marker,  a tiny cake cookbook, birthday notes and a cute little green Easter bunny.


Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you will come back next time.

I will be joining some fun parties this week.

Hopping Down The Bunny Trail!


This little bunny sitting on the Easter egg was the beginnings of my tablescape. I saw her in TJMaxx a couple weeks ago and she shopped right into my cart with a couple others from her family! She is holding a little butterfly. I have named her Petey, after my mother.


The tablecloth is Cynthia Rowley and the napkins are Max Studio Home from HomeGoods. I love the soft shades of aqua.


The plate stack begins with white wooden chargers from Pier One. A white Bordallo cabbage charger is the first of the plates, followed by an aqua cabbage dinner plate made by Mexcera, then a white Bordallo luncheon plate and finally an aqua soup/salad bowl made by Mexcera. The aqua dishes were from HomeGoods, also. I only found  dessert plates. In fact I went back this week to see if they got another shipment in, sadly they didn't. I am hoping they will get more as I would like to add more of this color to my collection. They can be mixed nicely with the Bordallo cabbage dishes.



The glassware are tumblers, with aqua/white straws, found at Dollar Tree a year or two ago and the stems are from The Pioneer Woman's line found at WalMart. I really hesitated on buying them, but they were the perfect shade to go with several dishes I own. They come in different colors, along with dishes to match. No, this isn't a paid for post!


The flatware is Oneida Louisiana, which I have used numerous times.


The centerpiece is made up of several items, some new, some old...aqua Mason jars, little black/white bunny salt/pepper shakers, aqua candle pedestal that Petey is sitting on, aqua chippy flower candlestick holders, white platform candle holders/shaded aqua pillar candles. little white egg cups with aqua eggs and white tulips.











Thank you for visiting today, hope you will come back next time!
