Tablescape Thursday

It's been a while since I have participated in Susan's Tablescape Thursday and I have missed it.
I'm in the mood for something light and airy, and I'm in the mood for a tea party, so today I set our dining room table for a summer tea party.

I'm also linking to Martha's Favorites, go here to see her beautiful tea time collections.

Inspiration for my yellow tea party came from this pretty vase.
While visiting my sister she gave me some treasures in her china cabinet. She likes to give me yellow things because she knows how much I love yellow! This vase was given to her by a special person in her life who has passed on, so when she gave it to me I knew it was a treasure indeed.
She also gave me these pretty ruffled bowls.
I'm also using some pieces of my yellow depression glass collection in this tablescape.


This frosted dish is much prettier than it looks here.

I filled the vase full of faux daisies and yellow roses for the centerpiece,
then I remembered I had purchased this yellow glass candlestick at Home Goods a few months ago.
A little yellow depression glass star shaped dish completes it.

I couldn't decide whether to use this flatware,

or this one, I decided on this one:

The napkins are from my yellow rose vintage hankie collection. I usually include white paper napkins inside them to protect from lipstick on the hankies!
Which is your favorite?

The ceramic napkin rings have tiny yellow roses painted on them.

I'm enjoying the light and airy look to this tablescape!

See my side bar for more of my yellow depression glass.

These dishes will hold
this lemon frozen dessert:

Frozen Lemonade Dessert

Mix: 1 (6 oz.) can frozen lemonade
1 can Eagle Brand milk
9 oz. container Cool Whip

Crush ginger snaps, graham crackers,

or Oreos and spread into bottom of

9x13 pan.

Pour lemon mixture over top of crumbs.

Freeze.

Spoon into dessert dishes. Top with

berries if desired.

Enjoy!

Go here to Susan's for lots more inspiration.

I'm also linking to Lady Katherine's Tea Time Tuesday.

Have a happy day!

God Bless.

Katherine
Any other suggestions for this vase?

Hi Katherine,
I'm so glad you're back! As I glanced through Susan's list of participants with thumbnail views, I saw the yellow roses and focused on your link immediately. Your yellow Depression glass is lovely. I enjoyed seeing your collection of yellow rose hankies and loved the tip about folding a paper napkin inside when you use them in a table setting.

It's kind of your sister to share her beautiful yellow treasures with you. I can't wait to see how you use that pretty vase with the golden ruffled edges!

Warmest regards,
Bill

Katherine, I always look forward to your posts, because not only are your tables gorgeous, but I learn a lot! LOVE those ruffled bowls, and I have not seen yellow Depression glass. It makes a lovely table. I also enjoyed seeing your hankies, as I inherited my grandmother's hanky box filled with her special collection.

Kathryn @ Bonafide Southern said...

What gorgeous yellows you have on this table! The lace tablecloth is such a nice backdrop for all of the luscious yellow accents. Those ruffle bowls remind me of my mother. She has about 25 of them in clear. I really adore your hanky napkins. They look fantastic. Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you!

Johanna Gehrlein said...

Katherine, what a lovely table you made. This yellow depression glass looks so wonderfull. And I love the yellow chargers with the polka dots. Have you seen my yellow table last week? It was really made with roses of my yellow rose arbor. Yellow is so crisp and fresh.
Greetings, Johanna

Katherine, I didn't know they made yellow depression glass. I have seen the amber, but not the yellow! How neat! And I love your table and the rose highlights. I'm glad you're back in the Land of Blog!

Very pretty! Depression glass is so interesting to me! I have a few pieces but not place settings. I must work on that!

Thank you for recipe too!

Martha said...

A very pretty table -- and I love the hankies -- what clever "napkins"!!!! I love the yellow and white table -- we don't see that color combo too often on TT. So light and summery.

Your yellow and white tea table is so pretty. I really like your depression glass, clear handle cutlery, polka dot mats and everything. Those vintage hankies make such lovely and dainty napkins.

Thanks for the recipe too.

You created such a lovely table. Your yellow depression glass is unique. I love you hankies and napkin rings.

Marilyn Miller said...

Finally I am here admiring your yellow depression glass (drooling may be more appropriate). I have one of the ruffled dishes in milk glass though. Love it in yellow. What a precious vase your sister gave to you, just beautiful. Yellow, my favorite color. I would love sitting for tea at this table.

Phyllis @Around the House said...

I adore your beautiful yellow depression glass and your table is just so beautiful...wow those hankies sure bring back memories, I have a large stack my mom loved and left to me they are all so soft and lovely and she had them stacked so perfectly in her linen cupboard, all almost as pretty as yours with the napkin ring that just mirrors them thanks for sharing

Adrienne said...

Dear Katherine -
You've done it again! Of course you must have known this table would be my favorite so far! When I saw the yellow glass I was 'hooked' - had to study every single piece. I have one of the ruffled dishes and several other yellow pieces you have. I love the new vase your sister gave you. What a treasure! The flowers were lovely in it. You've inspired me, my friend. It's time to get out more of my yellow to use it soon.

Sarah said...

Katherine, it's good to see you again. I've missed your tables, but like you, I haven't participated with a table very often of late. I hope to get back into doing more of this.
Your table with all it's yellow details is very inviting. Of course I'd like the polka dot chargers, but also love the idea of using the sweet hankies as napkins. Good ide to line them with a paper napkin. ~ Sarah

I love your yellow table setting! So very delicate and sunny ... reminds me of daffodills in the Spring. The depression glass is wonderful, but the vase that inspired it all is exquisite! :)

All that yellow is so bright and light. I just saw a yellow flowered tea pot at the flea market today that I wish you could have. It was hard to leave it there on the shelf...but I was already toting home a Winner Pooh one!

Hi Katherine,
Your yellow depression glass is very pretty! My mother has the same ruffled bowl which she uses for candy. I love your yellow polka dot plates. Very lovely tablescape!
