Another great Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch. If you haven't visited her beautiful site, please take a peek and feast your eyes on more wonderful tablescapes.http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/
I found these Metlox plates at a local thrift store. I love the lotus flower embossing. I couldn't believe I paid $3.00 for 6 of them. I also found these lovely monogrammed linen napkins at another thrift store .29 ea. I love the mix of textures with the woven charger and the jute.
I cut the leaves from my front garden this afternoon and placed them in 3 different vases down the center of the table. The runner is another thrift find, $1.50. The hobnail crystal and the silver were my Mothers.
Another thrift store find. These adorable little bird salt and pepper shakers were $1.99, oops, I see the price sticker is still on her.
I like the play of color with the butter yellow, apple green and robins egg blue. All those colors are in the far vase.
The pattern in the runner is embossed with butterflies and dragonflies. I love anything botanical.
I hope you enjoyed my tablescape.
Till next time, Happy Decorating
Don't you just love the bullion fringe on the table runner?

Kathleen,
I think this is the first time I've visited your site. I love your tablescape. Such understated elegance. Not overdone! I love the foliage you cut from your garden. Very elegant. The color story of soft yellow, apple green and pale robin's egg blue is so serene. I'll visit often. :)

Wow! You found some really great buys...and beautiful, too! Love the napkins and those plates are gorgeous! Beautiful tablescape!...Debbie
Love the british colonial look to this table!
Those S&P shakers originally came from Target. I think every blogger in blogland has some. You were lucky to find your's @ a thrift store!
Lovely! I'd be pulling that blanket a little closer to you...tonight is supposed to be the coldest yet (at least in our neck of the woods!)
This is just lovely! The cuttings from the yard in the vases are perfect. I love anything botanical, too. My entire Real Estate office is decorated in a botanical theme. Beautiful table!
Blessings, Barb
You've set a very elegant table. Love your centerpiece - everything is so lovely!

Very nice job! I've seen many tablescapes and yours is one of my favorite. Simple yet elegant, not overdone as some tablescapes are.
