L'Oiseau Bleu

Here are some bluebirds on the tabletop for your Valentine dining pleasure. Why blue birds for Valentine's? Perhaps you'd enjoy a fairy table while you're seated at the table. I really like this story at this time of year: The Blue Bird from The Fairy Tales of Madame D'Aulnoy (1892).





























The goods~

post 86 Fiesta dinnerware
Hall "Birdcage" teapot
vintage tablecloth and napkins
vintage Bakelite and Oneida Cityscape flatware

I'm happy to share these birdies for Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Through Life and for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.




More Details Coming Soon!
My Dish Friends and I are
collaborating on another
tablescaping event and
we're inviting you to join us!
Show us some "LOVE"
and join our first linky party!
