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.

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.
