The pastel colors of spring have given way to the bright colors
of summer. End of summer colors tend toward those of the sunset, and are made
use of here.

Top Ten Tablescapes
Last week, a group of bloggers were listing
their top 10 favorite tablescape posts. I am late to the party, but
nonetheless, having spent time going through every tablescape that I’ve ever
done, here are my top 10 favorites. I had to laugh when I looked at these. I do
like vibrant colors, and I love my black plaid placemats! So, in descending
order, here are my favorites, I hope you see something here that pleases you,
too. Click on the name of the tablescape beneath it to see the full post.
Everyone
hostess should have a great set of white dishes!

Springtime Table Settings
It’s spring. People tell me it’s spring. But with this frigid weather you certainly
can’t prove it by me. I sat in front of
the fire keeping warm for most of the day while watching baseball. If you’re as anxious for the real spring to get here as I am, with
its warm weather, birdsong, and fabulous flowers bursting forth with beautiful
colors, here are a few colorful table settings to get you in the mood.
Whether you like soft whites and cool pastels or the boldness of primary
colors, there is something here to stir your creative juices. Click on the links to learn more about each
table. They are, clockwise from upper

Dinner, Evening
in Paris, First Dinner
of Spring, and Springtime
Table.
How do you set your table for spring?

In the bleak midwinter...
With more snow on the ground today and sweep-you-off-your-feet 40
mph wind gusts, a wintry table is seriously in order.
The new sleigh ride salad plates (more versatile
than you could ever imagine) pair nicely with the vintage Old Curiosity Shop
plates.
Black napkins join things together; the woven
round placemats give the table a natural feel.
Vintage crystal by Mikasa hold water and wine, or
any other fun combination you can dream up depending upon the meal. Champagne
and orange juice are a good brunch combination.
Toast racks are such fun on a table, but something
I seldom see used. Get creative, and use it for holding English muffins,
cracker bread, pita bread, waffles, slices of fruitcake or panettone, in
addition to triangles of toast.
My son, Andrew, gave me a set of “hottles” for Christmas. I
love them so much. When I was a little girl, my mother used to take me to lunch
at the Jade Room restaurant inside the Famous-Barr department store. We'd dress
up for the occasion and, while waiting for our meal to be served, I'd sit
wide-eyed watching models sashay around the room in beautiful clothes sold in
the store. Mother always ordered tea, and it was served in a hottle like this
one. I love little individual serving pieces like these, so am delighted to
have a set of my own. There are so many uses for them, tea and coffee, yes, but
also milk for cereal, flavored water, juice, Sangria...
My dad gave me the vintage-look flatware from
Pottery Barn for Christmas. I love it so much, I don't ever want to put it
away.
