It's another Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I just know this is going to be another GREAT one. I can just feel the Spring creativity in the air!
I was finally able to get to Marshall's last Saturday. Oh what fun! I always know I'm going to find something I just can't live without. I was looking for something Spring (Easter) but that's not the direction I went.
First, I spotted these placemats. I love polka dots and these are brown and white. Well, I always need 8 and Marshall's usually just has 4 of something. Not on Saturday! There were 8! Hurray!!
So I knew I would get the placemats. I have some white/beige Lenox Butler's Pantry to use on them.
HOWEVER...as I'm strolling by the dishes, I see these salad plates! Yes, they are a brown and white "type" transferware. Be still my heart. I start counting...8, yes, there are 8.
By this point, I'm almost hyperventilating. Did I mention each plate was only $1.99.
Well, my luck continued! They also had the large pitcher (2.99), a smaller pitcher ($1.99) and the tray ($3.99). Well, I just floated out of Marshall's with my treasures!
So, here's the scoop on what I put together for my Spring table:
The lavender sheer table top I used for my MIL's party over the silver cake stand. Then I put my Bordallo green cabbage platter on top of that for some green contrast.
Mr. Dumpling bought the bunny for me last year and I just adore him. He stands 23" tall and is just a stunner.
Using the polka dot placemats, I used my lavender lace chargers (JC Penney's), my green cabbage Bordallo dinner plates and my new brown plates.
I love the way the green looks like flower petals round the salad plate...see that?
The little Bordallo chicken egg cups came from Marshall's last year and the eggs were from Hobby Lobby.
Come back on Friday for Show and Tell. I've been decorating like a crazy woman and we'll do more Spring and Easter. I even have some PINK treasures for Saturday!
Happy Spring y'all!
