Lightening Up the Table with Spring Greens!!!

Spring is the time when the world comes out of it's gray dormancy and life returns in all the shades of green! I truly love almost all greens and feel it is a neutral color whether in linens, dishes or even paint! It seems to blend with almost anything. So, I brought out the greens for the table! I kept the centerpiece very similar to last week but changed from the round basket to this green and white ceramic tray.  I am using a favorite runner with shades of green and some brown on a white background.
 The tray is bordered by a leaf motif.
 I added some green nesting material to this nest.
 This is the nest that the birds built in my wreath on the front door then abandoned. The 2 eggs in it are 2 of the 4 that she laid. So sad.
 It is resting on this tiny metal pitcher.
 My stack of dishes sit on a green and white placemat.
 A little green bird is nesting in our bowls!
 I told you about these tiny nests that I also like to use as napkin rings. When I found these at a store in Lancaster county I bought 8 and am so glad I did!
 They are holding a white and a cut out green napkin.
 I tried different flatware but decided on the brown bamboo to accent the brown in the runner.
 I WISH I had green bubble glasses, but I used my clear ones.  And the wire nest votive candles stayed on the table.
 Some gardening implements and clay pots....








 The bird S and P sit in a wire holder too.

 You know me, I had to get some shadow shots:)
 Thanks so much for your visit. I hope you are getting some nice, Spring weather! I bought some of my annuals for my pots on the patio yesterday and plan to do them today as it is supposed to get up to 72!!!

  8. Pinky,
    Totally charming centerpiece and Spring green tablescape, dear friend!!!
    The leaf border tray provides an elegant trayscape for your centerpiece!!!
    Love, LOVE, L O V E all the clay pots. . .especially the one with the "bee"!!!
    I agree the choice of bamboo flatware adds a striking contrast!!!
    In one of my Designer subscriptions, it was written . . ."all greens go together,
    observe how the varying shades of green compliment each other in Nature."
    Your Spring Green Tablescape is living proof!!! Nicely done!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  16. Oh so pretty Pinky! I love all the sweet birds and nests at your table. ♥ I stopped putting a wreath on our front door several years ago since the birds were constantly building nests and giving me a heart attack every time I opened the door :)
