A Colorful, Summer Table

As do many of my tables, this one was inspired by the runner. I found it recently and loved the colors, the burlap edge and how bright and cheery it is. So, I decided to build a table around it.

 I started with a green and white placemat, my white charger, yellow dinner plate and pink flowered salad. I LOVE that they all have interesting edges; that really makes a setting so special to me.

 I had this plate that I am using as a centerpiece. It sits in my fork and spoon plate holder. It appears darker than it is in this pic, as you will see.

 I decided to mix the flatware; the bamboo mimics the color of the burlap edge on the runner and the green blends too.

 I gathered a pale yellow napkin and a flowered napkin in this beautiful peony napkin ring.

 The rattan S and P bring another little touch of texture to the table.

 These candle rings are the perfect colors for the runner.

 We have had some bright, sunny days and this happy table makes me smile when I see it. Green goblets and yellow mugs complete the setting.

 The flowers on the plate are so similar to the ones on the runner. Serendipity:)

 We are enjoying this table for breakfast and lunch but have been eating dinner out on the deck. We want to take advantage of every day that we can eat outside. I have an outside table to share with you soon:)

 

Thanks for your visit. Leave me a comment to let me know you were here!

Dining with Flowers and Bunnies!!!

I set a Spring table for us all based on a new runner I found and fell in love with. The pattern and colors are perfect for Spring. I started with an apple green placemat, then my ceramic, ribbon charger, yellow embossed dinner plate and pink flower plate. All these colors are in the runner.

 I used my creamy handled flatware and gathered 2 napkins in a creamy ceramic ring.

 The beautiful alstromeria from the grocery store sit at our place settings in delicate bud vases.

 Some faux forsythia is wound along the runner.

 The taper candles are in my tulip candle holders. These are old as the hills but I still love them.

 A wire bunny covered in greens is the centerpiece, keeping it simple for everyday.

 The bunny S and P are used every day.

 I won these egg napkins at the wedding shower at Yvonne's a couple of years ago at her beautiful home. They are paired with a cutwork green napkin.

 I love, LOVE dishes with interesting edges, it kicks a place setting WAY up a notch!

 Green glasses for our beverage of choice.

 And a bunny mug for coffee!

 A little bunny hopped right over to the table:)

 The other day, the alstromeria was done so I replaced them with these pretty daisies.

 I love these little mini garden carts and filled them with mini speckled eggs.

 And I added these pretty candle rings that blend so beautifully with the runner.

 

Thanks so much for your visit. Don't forget, you can pin this to your tablescape board! Have a beautiful day my friends. XO, Pinky

~~~Look what I got!!!~~~

For Easter our daughter and Son-in-law brought me this beautiful hydrangea. And at the same time I had been looking (for a long time) for an olive bucket. However the REAL ones are VERY expensive and then Yvonne at Stone Gable reminded me that WALMART carried them!!!!! I had totally forgotten! So, I got online and ordered one right away. Until the weather starts to cooperate my hydrangea will live here!!! In the breakfast room, in my new "olive bucket". I love it and am going to age it so it looks a little more authentic. I have read that you can use toilet bowl cleaner!!!

 This little corner usually has nothing here and when I plant the hydrangea it will be empty again but that is good, as we go that way to go outside to the deck.

 I lined the bucket with a piece of burlap that I had and a plastic saucer for drainage.

 I love the variegation of the pinks!

~~~My New Find!!!~~~

 Hi everyone! I was out the other day, just browsing....HA!.. and found this wonderful bottle/vase! It came from TJMaxx. I just loved it and since all my bud vases are packed I HAD to buy it, right??? I mean I had this lily in a kitchen glass for heaven sake!!!  I love the rattan wrapping on it.  I think it could be used in so many ways. I put it on the coffee table in the living room so the HEAVENLY scent would be in there.

 It sits next to my faux hydrangea arrangement that I made severeal years ago. I wish I could find a SMALL urn like the one I did it in to do a tutorial for you!

 When I cut this lily some of the buds were JUST starting to open. In my haste I forgot to take the tag off the bottle:)

      Isn't God's artwork just amazing????

 Today all 5 flowers are open and the scent it just amazing. I sit on the sofa to read and am surrounded by the perfume of the lillies.

I will join Marty for Table Top Tuesday @ A Stroll Thur Life  Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great weekend everyone. On another note they are still working on the new septic system but think they will be done by the end of today.......................I doubt it:):) XO, Pinky
