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!

Laura Ashley Berry Bramble


Like everyone else, I am yearning for spring, something green! Looking through my linens I found this Laura Ashley Berry Bramble tablecloth. I paired it with two solid colored napkins; lavender linen and a white with a pretty crocheted edging. The napkins are held with green glass/metal napkin rings.



The plate stack is comprised of all Bordello Pinheiro cabbage leaf in green, white, lavender and purple.



The glassware is a ribbed amethyst Ivima water glass and a green etched wine stem.


I have used my favorite Oneida Louisiana flatware, again.


The centerpiece is a purplish coffee pot filled with purple tulips that are barely opening. I put a penny in the water to see if it would keep the stems from flopping...it doesn't work...their little heads are nodding every which way! The mismatch wood candlesticks are some I painted a deep, bright purple.





The best buy on the table are the green etched crystal wine stems...they were about $2.00 for all 4. Sure wish I could find the maker/pattern.

Thanks for taking the time to visit today...hope you will return next time.

Another Vera Neumann!


A few weeks ago, my friend Lynne sent me a beautiful Vera tablecloth set. She said she had bought it at a thrift stores years ago and had thought to make a dress for her granddaughter, but decided it would be a waste...Thank you again, Lynne!

I had a couple ideas how I would use this, but ended up with something totally different than where I was headed. Next time I will use dishes to pull the brick red and blue from the fabric.



The place setting begins with woven chargers, to which I have layered an over-sized dinner plate as a charger. The next layers are a white dinner plate, gold salad plate, white saucer and a cream soup bowl.



The flatware is, once again, Oneida Louisiana. I really, really like this set...like you couldn't figure that out!


The glassware is an amber Colony Whitehall  iced tea. 


I forgot to get flowers for the centerpiece when I was out doing errand, so I am just using a yellow ceramic bread basket!




Thanks for taking the time to visit today...I really appreciate each comment left. Do come back the next time.
