Well, it has been HOT and HUMID in these parts (and I know everywhere else) so I decided to set a table with COOL blues and whites. I had to cut the hydrangeas as they are FADING fast!!!! Turning a gorgeous shade of GREEN but I needed blue for this table!!! The flowers appear purple in the pictures, as well as the candles but they are a TRUE shade of blue. I am sure it is the lighting. My dining room does not lend itself to good pictures! I layered a blue tablecloth with a flowered edge over a crisp white tablecloth because the blue one is not quite big enough. Then a straw placemat, my trusty white chargers, a solid blue dinner plate, a blue and white dinner plate, a white salad and a blue and white salad plate, then a sherbert glass with a hydrangea bloom floating in it!!!!!
I layered 2 napkins: a plain blue and a white with a blue edge.
I used a blue wine glass and a blue water goblet.

ReplyDeletePinky, This certainly is a cool and very lovely table. Your blue and white makes me green with envy! You have some gorgeous pieces. The centerpiece ginger jar is stunning!And you took it up a notch by filling it with those huge hydrangea blooms. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou did something I LOVE on a table... you kept your color palate very simple and used lots of detail and texture to give intrest to your table. So well done! This just might be my favorite table of your!

Hydrangeas don't love our part of Texas..... but I sure can love and admire yours.
ReplyDeleteYour table is so refreshing and beautiful.....I love blue and white!!!
Pinky this is gorgeous!!! I'd love to know where you found those beautiful white charger plates??
ReplyDeletePinky, I feel cooler already. Love blue and white and what pretty hydrangeas.
ReplyDeletePinky, Your name might refer to PINK, but you do blue and white beautifully. Nothing more classic than a table full of blue and white!! xo Kathysue
ReplyDeletePinky,
ReplyDeleteWoW! This is elegantly displayed, dear! I adore your bee flatware. Your table linens are just beautiful and quite the thrifty find! I can feel a gentle breeze flowing across the room with your cool blue and white tablescape! Mission accomplished!!!
Fondly,
Pat

Your table is beautiful, Pinky. I always enjoy blue and whites....Christine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You can never go wrong with blue and white in my book.
ReplyDeleteIt's hot and humid at my place, too. Nothing quite cools off a table like blues, though. Yours are beautiful, and I would feel so restful sitting at it. I love your glassware.
ReplyDeleteWell you sure got my attention with this one...what more can you ask for than transferware and hydrangeas. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely. The pink hydrangeas and the blue transferware are stunning together. Such a beautiful tablescape. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual! Those hydrangeas are so pretty. And I love the Asian accents! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table Pinky!
ReplyDeleteLove your hydrangeas, too!
Thank you for transporting me to a cooler place and for linking up on Wayfaring Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI just love blue and white. It is so cool and refreshing in the summer. I am so envious of your beautiful hydrangeas. They are such favorite of mine but it is too hot to grow them here. I see we used the same flatware this week. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the people who have been having extremily hot weather. we have had a couple of blinding rain storms. High humidity. Your blue and white is cool looking and refreshing.

What was that old song?..."Lavender blue, dilly, dilly, dilly"...The hydrangeas are gorgeous...whatever color they are. I adore blue and white...I actually set a similar tablescape yesterday for a luncheon...it will show up in a post in a week or so. Thank you for sharing our lovely design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteHow pretty and cooling your "Summertime Blues" are! Love your pretty hydrangeas... always lovely no matter what color they are!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and just getting around to looking at the tablescape from yesterday. You can't beat hydrangeas for color and impact. You sure made me laugh at the entry about cleaning out the cupboard. You could have been me..LOL...that was sooo funny. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one..he,he. I'll be visiting again.

ReplyDeleteYou are showing two of my favorite things..blue & white dishes and hydrangeas! Of course I think this tablesscape is fabulous. Thank you for linking to my Open House party and have a great weekend.

Beautiful table, Pinky! I am also a lover of blue & white pieces, but I sold most of my collection when I sold my business a couple of years ago. I could just kick myself! I don't know why I did that knowing how much I love it!!! I ran into a lady who bought a lot of it at Costco last weekend. She said she is moving and having a garage sale to get rid of a lot of stuff. I'm going to have to go try to buy back my beautiful stuff!!! You're right...hard to find these days. I had some really unusual pieces that I hope I can recoup. Meanwhile, the hydrangeas are beautiful!!! I know what you mean about them photographing purple instead of blue. Weird. My blues often look purple and purples look blue. Drives me crazy!!! I think we can all relate to camera and lighting issues! :-) Great table. Have a peaceful weekend!
ReplyDeletePinky, I love your blue and white tablescape. They are some of my favorites, too. It's hard to pass up any dishes that are blue and white when I'm thrifting.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! You have the Napoleon bee flatware!! It is on my wishlist. It looks wonderful with this setting.
