Maybe these cheery and bright colors will chase away the overcast and rain that has once again returned to Northern California. Mid-May and it is still raining. <big sigh>
The vintage tablecloth sports circus tent stripes and some beautiful Magnolias. More details at the end of today's post.

ReplyDeleteAccck...Where did my comment go? Blogger is being tempermental for me this morning.
ReplyDeleteI'll try again since my test just worked!
Love this happy yet elegant color combination. I love the sparkle of the clear glass incorporated with these springy colors. And that rectangular pitcher...be still my heart.
Thanks for another exciting tablescape!
And thanks for linking to the letter "E".

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the wishing for some sunshine worked, at least here on the West Coast! We have bright blue skies and warmish sun today....wooohaaa!
The roses are all pretty soggy and beaten down and weeds are appearing everywhere with this late season rain. The snails are loving the moist wet conditions and are soon to be dispatched!
Thanks again for stopping by to see my tablescape. And yes, those are Magnolias on the cloth.
Candy
What a gorgeous vintage cloth! And your tablescape is just wonderful - so full of spring with the pinks and greens. I always enjoy your use of vintage things. Don't you wish we could purchase them for those prices!
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish we could find prices like those these days! 1938...loved this!
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is so sweet...
Cindy

We've always admired the manhatten pattern - very pretty! Your table setting is so pretty...how could sunshine not come out to see THAT?!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous color combo! I really love green depression glass so this is perfect all around. Thanks so much for linking up with VIF! xoxo Debra
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your table chased away the gloom! Love the new green and white plates. Very interesting. I see you purchased them at HomeGoods, but who manufactured them?
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
Oh how we wish for rain in Texas! Your table is, as always, terrific. You have so many interesting things to work with and such a knack for putting them together.
ReplyDeleteCandy, this table looks as fresh as a spring rain. Love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteWe are finally getting some much needed rain here. ;-)

Candy,
ReplyDeleteI love it when you mix modern dishes with the vintage. It gives a whole new look to your tables. The colors are amazing! You could call this your honeydew and cantaloupe table. Such a pretty color scheme. Thanks for linking it up!
Sherry
It's been rainy here too, but your beautiful bright colours certainly chase away the gloom!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I come over here is a new opportunity to drool! :-) It is all just so lovely and your attention to detail is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Inspiration Friday this week!

Thank you all for coming by again today to check out my tablescape. We are having a few days of sunshine this week, so I think the positive thoughts are working!
ReplyDeleteThe stylized floral plates are by Rosanna. I picked up one set at Tuesday Morning and another set of four at Home Goods within the last couple years or so.
Candy
I swear, every time I visit I can feel myself get tablescape jealous! I love, love, LOVE those floral plates! I love the entire table setting! It definitely cheers me up looking at the soft pastel colors :)
