Welcome! Last Sat. night we had our dinner group here. I set the table with a Spring, birds, nests, eggs and organic theme. It was a fun table to do! I wish I had gone with my first instinct and used a white tablecloth but this worked too. It actually matched one of the stripes in the placemat. So, here is the setting: green tablecloth, plaid placemat, white charger, green dinner plate, and the salad plates EACH have a different herb pictured. I will show you all of them down further! Then a sweet twig nest topped with a bird. The 2 napkins are gathered together with a fork and spoon napkin ring. They came from Pier One several years ago.
Green water goblets and clear crystal wine glasses.
Dark brown bamboo flatware.
Just a small stack of plates for this dinner.
The centerpiece is this piece that is a pot with a wire cloche and filled with several plants, a nest, eggs and a bird.
On each side is this. I found these sweet wire cloches at a great store for only $2.99!!!! I pushed them into a nest which is in a clear glass bowl, resting on a white plate.
They each have a sweet bird on top!
I also added white and green candlesticks with sage candles. Ivy candle rings cascade down the candlestick.
Here is a close up of the different herb plates. Dill....
Chives...
Parsley...
Sage...
Lovage...
Basil....
Mustard....
Borage....
Each place had a small green votive candle.
I used 2 sets of S and P. This one is watering cans...
and the famous target white birds!
The menu was: Seared scallops over wilted spinach with a balsamic reduction and bacon, baked sweet potatoes, Stewed tomatoes, a great loaf of La Brea bread, and strawberry pie for dessert!!!!! It was all delicious! I wish you ALL could have been there with us. Thanks so much for coming by. Please leave a comment so I know you were here!!!

ReplyDeleteYou set a lovely organic table. I think the tablecloth works wonderfully. Oh the things I could do with those herb plates.

It turned out great Pinky! I'm sure everybody was impressed with it! The birds are so cute! Those are cute plates too!
ReplyDeleteHello Pinky! I love the idea of the the twigs, birds and nest. It's not often used but it turned out as a nice table theme.
ReplyDeleteI love those salad plates Pinky! The bird accents in the center are perfection.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful table!
Love the table, Pinky, very earthy and organic. The salad plates are so pretty! I am sure your guests were thrilled you fussed for them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling table. I love the centerpiece very much. your stack of dishes is perfect. Great table.
ReplyDeleteoh I love everything about your table. the herb plates are just darling!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, this table is so organic, and green is good!
ReplyDeleteI adore the herb plates! But I especially adore the wire cloches with the birds on top. $2.99?! Are you kidding me?! That is cheaper than Goodwill. What a great find!
Pinky what a delightful table. I love the green and the naturals and the little bird cages are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe dishes came from Bloomingdales, and you might be able to buy them online. They are Tribeca and are by I Godinger & Co.
Good luck, Jacqueline
ps. I am going to try and bake something in them tomorrow and will post about it. I can't wait to use them for company. Sounds like your dinner was just fabulous.
A very pretty spring table! I love colors and your herb plates are beautiful! Bet you all had a great time:@)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table setting! I love the silverware and the wire cloches!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping over to my blog and commenting! How sweet that you like the cage. Many people have commented about the cage and when I told my husband he said, see I do know something about decorating, lol!
As much as I wasn't thrilled about getting a bird, I am happy the cage is pretty!

So cute! I love all the little birdies!
ReplyDeleteNot only the cutest table, but a fabulous menu as well! Wow! I love, love, love your centerpiece design. Ties in very nicely with the little birds and nests on each plate. The napkin rings are adorable. Love all the little details you added to make this a magical tablescape.

ReplyDeletePinky what a perfectly beautiful tablescape. Birds and nests and cages are one of my favorite combinations for tablescapes and vignettes. I am just crazy for them.
