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:)

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

~~~Sunflowers for Summer~~~

As I told you yesterday, I have set a late summer table for us and sunflowers always come to mind. Also hydrangeas. They are turning their beautiful muted greens now and I get some everytime I go to the old house. I kept the table simple and may change the centerpiece, cause I am not TOTALLY happy with it but need to get to the grocery for some fresh flowers. I have some orange and some nectarine in my sherbert dish for breakfast, delicious and the right colors:):)

 A simple "stack" of plates, just a white embossed dinner plate,  my sunflower salad plate, and the brown stemmed sherbert glass.

 I put a few faux sunflowers, some leaves and some pine cones in my cloche. The cloche rests on a sunflwoer plate that is also on a glass cake pedestal.

 I wanted this table to be very organic so chose a burlap runner topped with a grapevine ball, some grassy stems and some pine cones.

 My sunflower S and P.

 One sunflower that has lasted for 2 weeks!!!!

 I love the design on the runner, simple leaves.

 And I chose these napkins because they seem to pick up the design of the edge of the runner.

 Once again, I am using the handle on the charger as a napkin ring.

 AHHHH.....

 Golden glasses are ready for any beverage we choose.

 I have a bucket of hydrangeas that I just got yesterday so decided to add one to the table for a little more organics.

 I love how they all turn different colors:)

 Thanks so much for your visit. I would be so happy if you left me a comment to let me know you were here. XO, Pinky
