Spring Pinks And Greens

Everything is such beautiful shades of green now that spring has sprung. When my brother, Bud, was young he said all the shades of green reminded him of a patchwork quilt made by Mother Nature. I have combined shades of green and pink to this tablescape.

A few years ago at Goodwill on the very bottom shelf were several pieces of Franciscan Desert Rose china. I scooped up enough for 4  5-place servings as there was another lady also looking. One of the bowls is a newer piece made in Portugal, the rest were made in California between 1971 and 1976.

The plate stack starts with the white wood chargers followed by a green cabbage leaf charger, Desert Rose dinner plate, a pink cabbage leaf salad plate and finally a Desert Rose bowl for dessert, which will be ice cream.

The glassware is Cris d'Arc/Luminarc. These are my favorite shape for wine...doesn't matter what kind it is, either!

I have used my favorite Oneida Louisiana flatware. It just seems to go with anything. The linen napkin is held with a green beaded napkin ring.

I kept the centerpiece simple, just a couple small plants with pink candle holders.

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

Breakfast In Pink And Green

This week my inspiration came from Goodwill...Franciscan Desert Rose at a price I couldn't pass up. The dinner plates were 99¢ each, all the other pieces 49¢ each and then a 25% senior discount. A 5 piece placesetting, service for 4 at $8.85, who could/would pass that deal up? I don't know where I will store them, but will find a spot. I think they are all older pieces, meaning none were produced in China.

The table is set for breakfast, that is why the cup/saucer were used. I don't have much in the way of pink, so I have started with green placemats from my friend, Kathleen. I added pink linen napkins along with the Oneida Afterglow flatware.

I am not sure of the maker/pattern of the glassware. They were also found at Goodwill for 99¢ each less the 25% senior discount.

The little bee skep syrup pitcher is one I picked up a few years ago at a yard sale for a quarter.

The centerpiece is a geranium from the porch and a set of pink,cream and green candlesticks.
