I found two of these lovely hydrangea filled teacups at

Marshall's several days ago. I wanted them to go

in my Morning Room where my collection of

blue and white transferware is

displayed in all its splendor.

I also envisioned a tablescape.

I had several things going through my mind,

and said to myself ... "Self, you need to get busy

tomorrow and start the tablescape."

Then "Self" realized it was WEDNESDAY!

Awwwwww.....

I started running around the house like

a mad woman. What did I have?

Did I go with pink and blue, all blue...?

I grabbed my blue and white biscuit tin.

Isn't it lovely? I purchased a set of these

canisters years ago at Restoration Hardware.

Out came the floral box....

I am in love with how this arrangement turned out.

I started with a base of ferns, added blue hydrangeas,

white roses, chartreuse orchids and limes.

I added a blue and green, striped french ribbon.

I think its the perfect combination of whimsy

and "purdy!" :-D

Simple green placemats were placed on top of a

plaid blue, green and white tablecloth.

Then I layered wicker chargers for a

Summertime feel - followed by a green

and white transferware dinner plate,

then a blue and white transferware

salad plate.

Matching plaid napkins were simply tied with

two ribbons lengths ... the striped ribbon as

seen in the flower arrangement.

A fun green and white polka-dot ribbon

is a fun compliment. Have you discovered I

heart polka dots? :-)

It is definitely a Summer table.

And the very warm weather here in North Carolina

makes this seem appropriate!

More limes and a few pieces of ribbon were

turned into placecard holders.

Small gems frame each name.

The blue goblets are new - at least to me.

I found six in a second hand shop. I do not know

anything about them...but I love the details.

I love all the layers....

It's a simple table....

I wanted the colors to speak for themselves.

When I first started assembling this

tablescape - my first thought was that it was

too busy. There was a lot of pattern.

Was it too much??? Nahhhhh..... :-)

Scrapbooking supplies decorated simple Dollar

Store square candleholders.

I added some soft green tapers to the mini

teacup arrangements.

But the candles were too plain...

So they were embellished with some

pretty pearls.

So from a biscuit tin filled to the brim with

flowers and limes....

... comes a table that is pretty, soft and sublime.

Have a Beautiful Day...Barb
