Tablescape Thursday – a little Spring

 

We are finally getting some warmer weather here in Florida so I decided that I needed a cheerful table for today. Susan at Between Naps on the Porch hosts this fun event each week and we all play with our dishes.

I bought the tablecloth and napkins on sale at Williams-Sonoma and was lucky enough to find the matching salad plates at another store. The sherberts are from an estate sale years ago. The white hobnail is vintage Fenton.

Hi Carol, another lovely tablescape from you. I am quite boring as I always have plain tablecloth and napkins, yours has such lovely colours. I love the centre piece that you got from the pottery barn, with the little chicks and forsythia. I hope by Easter to have forsythia from the garden on the table, it is slowly opening with the better temperature here in the UK. Best wishes, Jackie in UK

You have done a beautiful tablescape. I loved your tablecloth and the hobnob. I don't have any sherbet cups in my possession; yours are beautiful! Joni

I really love your table. My favorite is the Pottery Barn basket. Aren't they the best!

I think what I like the most are the unexpected colors in your setting. Looks like burgundy with the pink, which adds a depth to the tablesetting that you don't always see this time of year. Lovely work.
