Happy Flowers Tablescape

When it's Spring on the calendar, but the weather is anything but Spring-like, some bright color is in order to boost the spirits.  What better way to begin than with a tablescape?




Red flower plates from Pier 1.  Yellow plates are from Dollar Tree, I believe.   Blue chargers are Lenox, purchased at a consignment shop.  Placemats were a Christmas Tree steal at 29 cents each!  Flatware is Cambridge purchased at Home Goods.  Dotted glassware is from Target.


A watering can filled with flowers makes a nice centerpiece along with a couple of cute birds.  I've had these for years. 




I do believe that bright color was just the cure for Springtime blues. 

Don't forget to enter my Spring giveaway here!


Thanks for stopping by today.  I will be linking to:

    I love the dotted glasses from Target, last time I was there I looked for the flatware you had shown in another tablescape but none there:( Your table setting is so springy looking Gina, cute birdies!

    Gina, your colorful table is very well done and oh so pretty. Everything is pretty but my favorite thing is the cute pitcher with the flowers. I also want to tell you that the egg topiary you made is gorgeous. I like the pastel colors of the buttons. Have a wonderful weekend, Gina!--- Shannon
