| I was in Lowes yesterday getting some more paint (yes, H is still painting!) and they had the most gorgeous hydrangeas! I decided to use them for the centerpiece in the new spring tablescape. |
 |
| They were only $10 for a large pot of them. I will enjoy them in the house for a while and then plant them in the garden. |
 |
| I chose a full size sheet for the table cloth.. |
 |
| It has beautiful embroidery on it. I got this sheet a few years ago at a yard sale in a big bag marked "grandmas unfinished" The bag was full of embroidered pieces (all finished) there were two sets of sheet and assorted doilies....$3 for the whole bag! What a shame that grandmas kids didn't even look at all the work she had done and realized that it was all finished. I feel truly blessed to be able to enjoy grandmas treasures! |
 |
| I made a little dessert area on the table...coffee cups and plates for cake after dinner. |
 |
| I have a cake plate that matches this server...can't find it anywhere! Does that ever happen to you? it's not lost, but I can't find it! lol |
 |
| I wanted to show off my new napkins (10 cents each at an estate sale) so I put the silverware in a caddy. |
 |
| Each place setting is different...the only thing they have in common is the sweet chintz party plates with matching cup. |
 |
| I have a set of 4. |
 |
| See the pretty napkins? I didn't want to cover them up with silverware! |
 |
| I used some of my rose dishes on the table... |
 |
| What is next? Well.... I put away all of the Easter decor on the buffet, so now it looks so bare!!! ...I think that I will fill this big bird cage with something spingy........don't know what yet, but I'll think of something! |
And a perfect centerpiece it is!!! Also the doily is the perfect touch!!!
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty tablescape! All of your dishes and tea cups are so pretty and so are the linens. I have the same 2 tier server in the last pic!! LOL!!
There are a lot of things that I can't find......LOL!!
I will be taking down Easter over the next few days as I am off....
23 degrees here this morning but a warm up to the 50's and maybe 60's is predicted the next few days....
Hugs,
Deb
Dear Penny, your romantic touches are able to create gorgeous tablescapes like this one...fantastic!!!

Arent't those gorgeous? I love hydrangeas. We can only grow the green/white ones around here- even amending the soil doesn't work very good- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful....love all the mix of the patterns...and I can't wait to see what you do with the birdcage. I was thinking hydrangeas in the birdcage would be pretty too!
ReplyDeletePenny,c'è da impazzire in mezzo a queste tue belle porcellane!Le mugs,i piatti,i fiori!Tutto così romantico come piace a me!Sei grande!Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Your hydrangeas are gorgeous and what a pretty table with all of the dishes! Your tablecloth is pretty too!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty -- I love your pinks. I think Grandma would be pleased that someone who appreciates her hand work has it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Gorgeous, Penny! I'm very partial to roses and your collection makes me drool!

LOVE LOVE LOVE hydrangeas, My favorite flowers
ReplyDeleteI bought me a new one then took it to my daughters house for Easter( want it back) LOL
I am setting up for a ladies luncheon and using my odd dishes with roses on them , I need to borrow 2 plates from you LOL love your dishes
I am using one of my worn tattered Grandmothers embroidery luncheon cloths, nor large enough for my table but I want something of hers on my table of roses
Darling table! Who wouldn't feel special! :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to pick up some Hydrangea but they are soooo incredibly expensive here. I had to leave them. :( I'll just enjoy yours. :)
Thank you for sharing them on Fresh-Cut Friday! :)

Hi Penny, Your table is gorgeous and how wonderful you found the bag of treasures at the yard sale. It probably was meant to be that you get it since you appreciate the work and it is with a good home. I have all my grandmothers doilies and crocheted lace. I love it all.
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangeas are gorgeous. Mine are about a foot high already in the garden. No blooms yet, but growing tall.
Love the bird cage and I know you will create something springy and special in or around it.
Have a nice weekend. Hugs, CM
You always have such lovely things. Hydrangeas are some of my favorites and I so want a bush for my yard. Maybe once I stop travelin' around so much...
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly for boot scootin’ on over to the Old Time Party to share your beautiful table setting! You find the best treasures!

Welcome on my blog "Matin lumineux", Penny! I discovered yours some months ago, and I love it, because like you, I love laces,decoration and Pink!
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses and thanks
A beautiful tea table with pretty chintz china patterns. The hydrangeas look nice for a centrepiece.
ReplyDeleteHello Penny,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table setting you have here! All your lovely pastel colors, and beautiful china looks gorgeous all laid out.
That tablecloth is totally wonderful! Oh my! you must have been delighted to look through the bag and find it. It is sad that the woman's family had no idea.
Your new hydrangea is pretty too. I planted my first one ever last year and I am excited to see how far it grows this year.
Hugs,
Terri
I'm running to Lowes for some hydrangeas! Those are so beautiful even if you don;t plant them at $10 they are bargain. Your rose dishes are just wonderful, pink, white and green my favorite colors. Laura

ReplyDeleteAll I can say is "I love my Lowe's!!" Gorgeous hydrangeas at such a good price! Being a non-gardener I was wondering... they survive after being indoors? You will have to let me know! Beautiful things you have accumulated to create such a cheerful table for spring! Just lovely!
