I had no idea what I would do for a tablescape today! I started looking and found these little plates I've had for years, but have never used them, they were still in the box, a friend gave them to me.
Even though I had five colors, plus the white to work with I couldn't decide what the main color scheme would be, and couldn't decide which tablecloth to use. I placed a plate on top of one of the white plates from Dollar Tree, then tried to decide on a tablecloth.
It needed something else, so I looked for a charger, or place mat. I bought these round yellow polka dot placemats at TJ Maxx a few months ago. I was surprised that they look remarkably good with these plates, don't you think so?
Next the centerpiece gave me a problem, but finally decided on this vase full of bright yellow daffodils!
The little figurine is one I bought when I was a young girl, about ten! I collected figurines even then!

Recently I have been organizing my stash of decorating goodies I use for tablescapes and tabletops. I found this box of candleholders that were bought back in the 70s, look at the price!I only had two white tapers, so I decided to use them without candles. Each one is a different color, seems to be a pattern with all the items in this tablescape today!
The napkin rings are ceramic with 3-D flowers and the ribbons on each are each a different color.
A place for you
Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Another pretty tablescape! I love those placemats. I thought they were chargers at first. Too cute.
It is just wonderful. So light, and airy and springy. Those salad plates and just beautiful. What a lovely table.
Katherine... The box of china plates is so pretty. I love all the lovely spring colors on your table. The idea to place the yellow and white placemats on your table was the best. Thank you for your kind comments on my post at Texas Tea Party.
