I felt a little sad to see my roses shivering in the drifts.
Then these hungry little visitors reminded me of some napkin rings in my collection.
I received this beautiful blue vintage tablecloth as a Christmas gift. It's the perfect foundation for a winter garden!
The soothing blue of these Riviera plates cleanses the palate after the red and green of Christmas. The tabletop also includes a Riviera batter jug, serving bowl and salt and pepper shakers.
The Depression Glass includes Moderntone sherberts and a Newport mustard. The candleholders are Dansk.
The French glassware is from my grandmother. I think it's an Avon pattern. The little cordial cups are actually deviled ham containers from the war years. Slag glass was used in the place of metal. The flatware is vintage Bakelite.
Our little visitors earned their seeds by providing both inspiration and entertainment on a snowy day.
My winter garden helps me to think of blooms preparing for spring under the snow...
I'm happy to be sharing these cool blues for the final Tablescape Thursday of 2010 at Between Naps on the Porch!
Great tablecloth and what a fun tablescape! Lovin' the blues and the "entertainment":@)

This tablescape is just beautiful. I love how you picked up all the shades of blue from the wonderful tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteLovely Winter Blue Daphne! We were obviously receiving the same subliminal messages from the tablecloth gods on what colorway to go with this week!

Your blue table is so bright and cheery after the winter "blues". Our snow has just melted in Ohio, giving us a brief respite. What a wonderful collection of items that all come together in such a lovely table.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Love the glasses, sherberts and the picture of the babies looking at the birdies.
