Spring inspiration...



This week has been really busy and I was not able to
put together a tablescape.

It's tough to come up with a new table
when you are not sure what you want.
With Valentines Day this coming weekend, I'm ready for some Spring
tablescapes, but I want to mix it up a bit and not re-create
previous looks.
I was looking through some of my old photos,
not only to give me ideas but to remind me of the dishes I have - Ha.

I love the yellow for Spring and I like the contrast with the white and black...


However St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and
I tend to stick with the green Bordallo plates and the shamrock
salad plates - they just go too perfectly with St. Patrick's Day.
I'll have to think about how I can switch it up a little bit.

Yellow again, minus the black - I love these white dishes.


I now have some ideas what to themes and colors to play with over the weekend
and hopefully I'll come up with a fun table for next week.


Please visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch
for a list of all the talented Tablescape Tuesday participants.



Have a wonderful Thursday,

Very nice cheerful choices. I love yellow it screams Spring and Daffodils to me.

Love all your bright cheery tablescapes...too bad it is so white outside, I prefer it to be green!

Hi, Tam,
I remember the white and yellow from last year, and I remember loving those white dishes then.
They ARE so beautiful.

Haven't visited in a while... Those are great colors to look forward to. Great tables!

Chatelaine said...

All of your tablescapes are wonderful. I think the spring one with the bunny is so adorable. I am partial to the St Paddy's Day one as I have Irish ancestry.

If I were a guest in your home, I would be pleased by your attention to detail.

Hi Tam... Great photos! I've been really busy lately too and it really is hard to get a table "dressed" when you have too many iron's in the fire... Take care... And...

~Happy Valentines Day!
