I don’t know how the weather is where you are, but we are unseasonably (shockingly) cool around here. This is my first spring tablescape and it represents our unseasonable weather in that instead of being soft pastel colors of spring, it still bears some of the darkness of winter.
I treated myself to many things during the pandemic, one of which is this fabulously over the top tulipiere. Tulips are one of my favorite flowers, but I never had a great way to display them until now.
The tablecloth is also new this year from wayfair.com, and I love the boldness of the vase with the tulips at center.
The water hyacinth placemats are versatile and among my favorites. They are topped with Bordallo Pinhiero geranium leaf chargers. On top of them are square black plates that my son and daughter-in-law tired of and passed to me. This is my first time ever owning black plates, and I have to say I like them.
My interest in collage art made these salad plates from Pottery Barn quite appealing. I have yet to see any butterflies this early in the season, but I’m certainly inviting them to my home with all of the flowers I have planted thus far.
The glassware was a gift from a friend. The cappuccino
cups are from Amazon. 
The flatware is Mackenzie Childs “Courtly
Check”, also available, surprisingly enough, from Amazon. 
The white butterfly dishes are favorites of mine
and I have had them since I was in college. They are designed to be used when
serving Chinese food, to hold sweet and sour sauce and mustard sauce. I use
them quite often to hold pats of butter and homemade preserves. I thought they
made a nice addition here. 
I wanted unobtrusive salt and pepper shakers, and these house salt and pepper
shakers from Magnolia Home filled the bill.
