I Love Lemons Tablescape

 

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. 

Bordallo 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.

  Flatware, that I get a lot of use out of, is Flatware is vintage Noritake Primastone.

 

I hope this table brightened you day.
