Before I begin, can I just complain about the weather for a second?
I believe we had 19 days of rain in June. Here we are,
July 1st and what's it doing?
Raining!
I feel like I live in a jungle or a rainforest.
Everything is ridiculously green, but goodness, it's depressing.
I think it's time to buy a boat, or an ark, or something.
Ugh! ENOUGH!
Thank you for allowing me to vent. Now on to the post....

I don't believe I've shared a tablescape with you for 3 months now.

That's pretty sad, so I'm going to remedy that right now.
This is one of my favorite sets of dishes.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love them.
They are from 222 Fifth.

ReplyDeleteThe plates need to visit me! ;P
I think this is a fun tablescape for Independence Day.

Gina, This table is just adorable! So sweet and feminine! You put it together perfectly!!!! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI. Love. Those. Dishes!! I want to find those. :)
ReplyDeleteYou tablescapes are always so cute and full of the nicest details. I love those dishes, too!
ReplyDeleteTell me about the rain! I'm just glad my flowers are loving it!
XO,
Jane
You had me at DOTS!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole tablescape.
: o )
I love your dishes and your tablescape. It makes me feel happy when I look at it!
ReplyDeleteOh I love those plates too! I thought they were Cath Kidston! Love your table!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Love it, very sweet and fresh for summer!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite!!!! I'd set my table like that every single day if I had those! :D
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of my daughter when she was young. I'll explain. When there would be a hot August day she'd go to her closet, and take a parka and wore it outside... it was funny because you had this huge parka and then two skinny legs in flops ahahahaha. And when we were in those dreadful winter days - cold, rainy and whatnot - she'd want to dress her swimming suit and go on the rain.
ReplyDeleteYou also defied weather witches with this post, Gina. And avvoided their wrath because they were so charmed by it - even witches are hopeless with so much beauty and whimsy. I know I am. Worth waiting for (regarding you "been a while I posted a tablescape ;)"... really going to PIN this. Awesome!
Thank you for sharing,
Teresa
P.S. If life was fair I'd have those dishes, half of this heatwave and half of your rain. It isn't. But at least you have the perfect dishes ;).
Such a fun tablescape!!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better we have had nothing but rain as well here in Ontario. Today looks like rain.....
Do you want to know what I do when it rains...SHOPPING!
Oh Gina, the tablescape is so adorable. Love the polka dots and the floral plates.....Hope you have a wonderful 4th!
ReplyDeleteGina, this is so gorgeous! I am always amazed at how you put things together. I struggle in that area.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's been raining here in NC for what seems like forever! My garden is crazy over grown... tomatoes are bursting open... tired of rain!
First of all, so sorry about your rain. We could use some so please direct it our way (western cO) just not on July 4th. ok?
ReplyDeleteI think you already know your table scape is absolutely fantastic and awesome. You have the neatest stuff. Where do you keep it all? This set is one of my very very favorites, so vintage looking, to me at least. Love it all Gina, you get a big gold star. Happy 4th.
Love this table setting! I would love to see your dish cupboards!, WOW! Hope the sun shines soon for you!
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether you have blogged with those dishes or I have seen them somewhere out and about or what, but I know I've seen them and LOVED them before. They are so happy. I would love a set like that, and I really love the way you've used them. Just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove this! These dishes are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, I just found your blog today. Your home is lovely! I love your style and your touches : ) This table setting is adorable! All of my favorite colors and combos - especially the polka dots. Love it all!!!
ReplyDeleteDanielle
What a beautiful tablescape! You always put together the prettiest tables. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am all about gingham these days, in fact, I told my family I've gone gingham style LOL! Your table is adorable Gina. Hope you are enjoying your summer so far.
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with it all. I just found red and white polka dot utensils on Amazon - they should arrive tomorrow - but I never thought of Speigel for flatware.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!
Super stinking cute table. As always. I can see why they are a fav. Love them!!!! They are totally YOU too. Not to be confused with U2.
ReplyDeleteOh Gina, I absolutely LOVE this table! Those dishes would be my favorites, too. Everything looks perfect with them...the cute flatware and napkins and the dotted tumblers. What fun it would be to sit at your sweet table.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tablescape! Very summery looking. Love the dinner plates.
ReplyDeleteOh, Gina! This is so very pretty. I'm sorry I am just now getting over here to visit you. What a beautiful table you have set.

Gina, I love, love these dishes too! I only have 4 little plates and a tiered stand. Mines different than yours. I picked them up at T.J. Maxx a few years. Kicking myself ever since that I didn't buy more. Love your tablescape! Would love if you linked to SYC.
