Today we're on the patio in the backyard. The weather has been SOoo nice! I wish it would stay this way!
The daylilies are in bloom...
Today's inspiration came from the two tablescloths that I purchased this past Saturday. The solid blue was $1 from a local thrift store and the vintage topper was from "Crossroads Junktion" for $12.50.
The wheels on the cart remind me of lemons. I angled the cloth so that the cart would be between each place setting.
I used rattan chargers (Walmart), robin's egg blue plates ($ Tree), and green bowls ($ Tree). The white flatware was from the Trash to Treasure sale a couple of years ago and the turqoise glasses were a recent purchase from JCPenney. The yellow napkins are part of a vintage set.
Peeking though the macho ferns....
For my centerpiece, I used a larger size plant thingie as a tray. I added a vase of lemons with some fern leaves and daylilies added in. A pitcher of refreshing lemonade.....
and accents of a few more lemons and asparagus fern complete the arrangment.
Simple and thrify! Thanks for stopping by!

As usual, beautiful! Loving those macho ferns; they can withstand everything! Sadly, I fear that we have now morphed from spring back into summer temps :(
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy.... I just discovered the macho ferns a couple of years ago and they are now my favorite! I was able to store mine in the greenhouse over the winter!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty table!! I love lemons too! Had missed those chargers at Wal Mart, have to go back and look for them! Very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors on your table. This looks like a lovely place to enjoy a meal.
ReplyDeleteI am such a weird woman. I had this post up to read this morning before I left the house, but completely forgot to leave a comment for you! This is SO worthy of lots of comments because it is really a VERY relaxing set up! The colors are all simultaneously soothing and energizing. It's kind of like how a hot shower can either wake you up or help you sleep....it has a dual effect depending on what you need to get you goin'!!! Thrifty, yes, but SO big on oomph!!! have a great weekend, Tammy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just LOVE that table topper!! These colors are just divine, I love your tablescape!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening!

ReplyDeleteI was confused as to why boiled cookies was linked up, but now I see it was probably supposed to be this!
Thanks for sharing this at Let's Dish!
I love all these pretty colors you've used! And I think I NEED those turquoise glasses! The vintage topper makes the perfect background for all the green and turquoise elements!
