Another Spring table...

I did remove the St.Patrick's table setting
to put together another Spring table.
We've been having mid 40's and sunshine for a couple
days now and a setting with some touches of yellow
to bring the sunshine inside was the way to go.

Some white birdhouses became the centerpiece.

Any type of bunny says Spring and these
covered soup bowls certainly fit the bill.

The Bunny bowls, black and white salad plates, dinner plates that
match the bunny bowl and black chargers are combined at
each place setting.

The gold glasses from Target work well with the color theme.

I added yellow napkins and napkin rings with birds and butterflies.

I also brought more yellow to the table with some faux flower stems.

There are some additional white birds that serve as the pepper shakers ...

...while each place setting has it's own salt shaker.

Here are some additional views of different portions of this table.

The bunny bowls and dinner plates i found at TJ Maxx a couple of years ago.

I added this larger bird to the birdhouses in the centerpiece.
I don't like placing even numbers of items in a centerpiece.
It seems to be more pleasing to the eye when I stick
to the 3, 5, 7 etc rule.

I sure wish they still had some because I would surely be owning a set. Love the goblets, too. A sunny, pretty spring extravaganza. Good job!

Love your black, white and yellow table theme and the birdhouses make such a wonderful Spring table.
Very different because of the color choices. I liked it very much,

This is such a great combination of colors. Black and white are always classic but the pop of yellow is fabulous.

How fresh and cheerful! Yellow, black and white are a favorite combo at my house. I don't think the
Target store near me ever has the cute stuff I see on other people's blogs -- Phooey on that! Your table is adorable.
