Shamrocks and Roses 2016 Saint Patrick's Day Tablescape

It is that time of year again.  Cuisine Kathleen's Annual Saint Patrick's Day Crawl is today.  I wait each year to see what kind of wonderful recipes, decor, and tablescapes will be created in honor of Saint Patrick's Day.  This year I decided not to buy anything new and to use things that I already had.  Really I had the table all set up and ready until I went to Goodwill on the way home last night.  Oh My .....  I found a set of the prettiest green and yellow basket weave plaid or check pattern plates I had ever seen.  With my earned discount coupon I ended up paying $.65 cents each.  Well back to ground zero digging into boxes at my storage unit to find the shamrock bowls I knew I had late in the evening last night.  My Revised tablescape follows.....

RICHARD GINORI MANIFATTURA DI LAVENO dinner plates sit upon Lenox charger plates and  shamrock shaped salad bowls top the stack.

Lovely lasses dance with the wee lads and leprechauns

An old friend (my favorite lucky leprechaun) stands in a bed of faux green roses that are nestled into an old basket that has been spray painted with Rust-oleum's Oregano green  paint.

Leprechaun's are playing all around the table.

Sunny Yellow and Blue Tablescape

A few weeks back I was Visiting Susie's Cake Plates and Other Treasures and loving the blue and yellow tablescape that she had posted.  A blue and yellow tablescape can always make my eyes sparkle especially when I had been thinking of a sunny blue and yellow tablescape too.  By coincidence I had placed a very bright tablecloth in a bold yellow and cobalt blue onto the breakfast table the day before reading Susie's post.  I was inspired to get into gear and get this tablescape done.  After digging around in the garage a set of yellowish charger plates were found along with a set of golden yellow handled flatware.  A set of sunflower plates, some cheerful spring like glassware and a few cobalt blue accent pieces were dug out of the back of the cabinets and the boxes stored under the stairs and in the garage.  It took a couple of days to pull together but the result was worth it.

Pretty floral stemware, maker unknown.

The yellow flatware was bought new at Marc's (our local closeout store).

The cut flowers were bought at the supermarket.

Everything else was thrifted.

Have a wonderful week!

A Cheery Cherry Valentines Day Tablescape

With my sons coming over for Superbowl Sunday and I was in a dilemma on whether to set a Valentine's Day table or a Mardi Gras table or a football tablescape. I went with the same red, green and beige table with Valentines Day hearts that I had set for breakfast earlier that day.  The plates are called Cherries Jubilee by Noble Excellence and the green plaid table cloth and napkins were made by a company called Got It Covered.  My son Richard took pictures of the table for me while I was preparing the Buffalo dip for the wings that were still in the oven.  I really appreciated having some really good pictures that I could use for a Valentine's Day post.

Red water glasses and flatware along with a few cherubs and hearts create a tablescape to use for a Valentine's Day breakfast or casual dinner.

Thank you Rick for taking the pictures!!

  HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

PS:  
At the back of the table is a small spring cottage that I am 
working on.  I am in the process of adding birch bark 
siding to the cardboard frame and a porch scavenged from 
an old souvenir of a hacienda from Cuba bought at a garage sale.
