68th - Yellow & Green - Flowers....

With all the rain we have been getting here in Florida - my flowers are in full bloom, so it seemed fitting that this weeks tablescape "bloom" like it is outside.



Although, the ceramic, glass and cloth blooms can not compare to the beautiful blooms God has created...we are simulating His creations.....and they are very pretty!




Green placemats, green glass chargers, white dinner plates, the flower shaped desert/salad plates appear to be hand made with no stamping or signature on the back, the white salad bowl is Old American "McCoy", topped with a white linen napkin and flowered napkin ring....The silverware is green enammeled.



I used a yellow runner with a light green lacy runner on top.  The Vase and flower arrangement is one of my favorites.....
I always try to decorate my buffet to match my tablescape...

67th - Old Bradbury (Red and White)

Looks like I am back on track - up to speed - in the swing of things - another tablescape and there will be another one posted tomorrow - Oh it is good to be back at it.....

For this tablescape I used my Johnson Brothers "Old Bradbury" it is one of my absolute favorite sets.  Red being one of my favorite colors this set won my heart when I first saw it!  Another great thrift store purchase - of course, have had it since November 2010 and have featured it a couple of times on my blog for Tablescape Thursday.  Hope you enjoy this one as well....
