It doesn’t seem that long ago, but it has been nearly 10
years since I wrote a post about the play food that I used to love as a
child, you can read it here. Despite the fact that I haven’t been a child for a
longer than I care to admit, I still love play food. Recently, I was shopping
at one of my favorite places, The White Hare, when I found this pitcher of
lemonade. It was a part of a set that included glasses of lemonade, but they
were mason jars, and that wasn’t the look I was going for. I cannot tell you
how long I circled this pitcher before I bought it, their 20% off sale
justifying the expense.
Once I got home with it, I knew I had to set a table around it,
and that is how this one was born.
A pretty tablecloth can make even the simplest
table beautiful. This is one of my favorites, because it always says summer to
me.
I kept the antique crystal candleholders from last time, pairing
them with a white ironstone pitcher full of yellow Alstroemerias.

Pinheiro geranium leaf chargers.provide a good
base for yellow
Waechtersbach dinner plates. They are topped with Bordallo
Pinheiro Majolica Green Geranium Leaf salad plates
on which I have placed a mini wreath (also from The White Hare) and faux lemon.The bubbly green water glasses are Villeroy & Boch; stemmed
juice glasses were inherited from a family friend.
One of my favorite sets of salt
and pepper shakers is this cut lemon pair, adding
a touch of whimsy.

A lemon feast for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely brightened my day! I went to your link and read your 2013 post. How incredible that your childhood pieces were in such beautiful condition, and how lovely that your Mother kept them. LOVE the lemonade pitcher! Also the tablecloth and the flatware, the shakers - everything is such eye candy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about this are the tea glasses - so, so pretty. And now I'm off to read that long-ago published blog post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pattie, so full of summer! I love your lemon tablecloth and the bubbly Villeroy & Boch water glasses, so pretty. I also love the way you styled the plates with mini wreaths and lemon. You can enjoy this table all summer long~
