Hello my friends!!!

*

Welcome to the 97th run of "Sunday Favorites"

*

I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend! It's a busy, busy weekend at our place. My two step-kiddos are here for the weekend. Darrin is 17 and Danielle will be turning 16 in just a couple of weeks. There is never a dull moment with two teenagers in the house! Hehe!

*

We have been having some beautiful spring like weather here in Colorado...that is...until this last week. All week long, the wind blew like crazy and we are supposed to get snow this weekend! Yuk! So I have a big ol' pot of homemade chili cooking and a fire going in the wood stove! So it has turned out to be a warm and cozy little weekend with family...sooo sweet!!!

*

Today for Sunday Favorites, I am revisiting a post from about this same time...last year called "A Spring Green Tablescape". I hope you enjoy!
*

Have a super Sunday, my friends!

Just a little note: Sunday Favorites Criteria
* 

When I first started the Sunday Favorites meme, my initial thought was to offer a solution for getting a post out on the weekend without having to spend alot of time doing so...weekends are just a busy time for most of us! Copying and pasting a previous post is so quick and easy. Not only is this a quick and easy solution to the busy weekends, but it's also an opportunity to dig back into our blog archives and share a favorite "past" post once again! Many of us spend alot of time and effort creating a post and it just seems a shame that it is viewed only once and then forgotten about!
* 

I would like to reiterate that Sunday Favorites is a meme about sharing or revisiting a post from the PAST! If you have found that your post has been removed...then please read the instructions!

Thank you!

Sunday Favorites My favorite post from:
March 17, 2010

Hello my friends...I'm so happy that you stopped by today!

*

It has been a busy week at my place...besides the normal daily schedule,
 I have been trying to get a some spring cleaning done so that I could do a
 little spring decorating!

*

I started the spring fluffing in my dining room. As many of you know,
 I have a red French Country style dining room. I love my red walls, however
 it is sometimes a challenge to "lighten" things up for the spring and summer season.
 This year I decided to use as much white as possible and add a little "Spring Green"
 into the mix...you know, that pretty yellow-green color! It's so light and fresh...
just what I want!
*

I wanted to do a spring tablescape to go with the new spring decor...my very
 first spring tablescape of the season!
*
A Spring Green Tablescape...
*

*
 I have incorporated the same white and green color scheme from the dining
 room decor into my tablescape. Ahhh...a light and fresh table!

*

*

No table coverings today...going for that light and fresh ambiance...all I
 am using is a white lacy table runner...that's it! Fresh and simple!
*

As you can see, I am using several white pieces along with a few
 items of that spring green color.

*

*

The Place Setting...

*

White and spring green dishes! I am using a dinner plate, fruit
 bowl, bread and butter plate, and a cup and saucer from my set of green
 transferware ironstone. This pretty pattern is called Kensington Staffordshire
 Balmoral 1801. I just love this set of dishes...I found a 32 piece set on Ebay
 for just $10 (plus shipping)! Quite a bargain!!! I am also using a salad
 plate from my set of white ironstone dishes along with a lacy
 metal charger plate.
*

*
*
*

*
*
*

*

The white cotton dinner napkin is trimmed with the prettiest crocheted
 lace. Just perfect for the light and fresh look that I was going for!
*

*

I love, love, LOVE this floral pattern! Ohhh...and
 those beautiful scalloped edges!
*

*

I large glass goblet for water or iced tea.

*

I love how the green apples look through the glass!


*

I recently found this pretty white pedestal plate at TJ Maxx for just
 $5.99. I love the reticulated edge...I wove two pretty ribbons around the
 plate...one white ribbon and one spring green ribbon!

*

I added four green apples to the plate...love that pretty "splash"
 of yellow-green!!!
*
The tea/coffee pot is white ironstone by JG Meakins...another thrifty
 buy for just $10!
*

*
Ohhh look...two little spring birds have decided to join us!
*
 It just wouldn't be a spring table without a couple of sweet songbirds!

*

*

I love, love, LOVE white pitchers! This is one of my collection...I
 think the embossed grapes and leaves are sooo pretty! I believe that this is
 the first time that I've used this pitcher in a tablescape.
*

*

I wanted to show you a couple of photos of my newly decorated for
 spring...buffet. All white with a few splashes of that pretty yellow-green!
*

Long stems of white lilacs along with a few hydrangea blooms in a large
 white pitcher sit center stage on the 6 ft. long buffet. Four silver candleholders
 with white candles...and four cut glass candleholders sporting their pretty
 yellow-green color candles...join in with the mix.
*

and...as you may have noticed...there are bunnies...lots of bunnies!
*

*

On the left there is a happy little bunny sitting with his chubby little legs
 up in the air...on a yellow-green bed of moss. A larger bunny is resting under
 the shade of the lilacs. Hehe!

*

On the right side...more bunnies! One of the little guys is sleeping on a bed
 of the same moss under the glass cloche. Ahhhh! On the very end is one of my
 prized thrift store finds...a bunny covered casserole dish or tureen. I only paid $8
 for this fabulous piece! If you would like to see more of the spring Green
 decor in my dining room...you can click HERE.
*

I really like the look of the red walls behind the white flowers
 and bunnies and the glass!

*

*

And...there you have it! A "Spring Green" tablescape! I hope you enjoyed!
*
