My Eyes See Purple

I created a new arrangement in my white farmhouse tub.  I wanted to do something fun with it and this morning it all came together.  This plate became the star of the show!

I combined the pot of violas in the tub with some moss, the plate, a little clay pot and a candle.

Since spring has finally arrived here in northern Michigan purple is on my mind.  The violas are the first thing I invested in this year for my gardening!  The lilac topiary tree has buds all over it and I can hardly wait to see it in full bloom!  Purple is one of the colors of spring so my mind is currently tied to it!

 These colorful patterned dishes come out of a boxed set of 6 I bought several years ago (including the plate with the face).  Each one has it's own design.  There is a multi stripe plate that I didn't include.


 These dishes are described as an eclectic assortment paying homage to 6 different design styles- Victorian, Ethnic paisley, French Baroque, 60's English, American Cottage and Contemporary Indie.  All combined to make a collection that is refreshingly hip and artistic!

Once again the white Lacy dishes from Pier 1 worked nicely as a companion plate.

 I'm happiest when I can take photos of my tablescapes when the sun is shining.  It's greening up nicely outdoors although we are still getting frosts so I can't plant just yet.

Let's pretend we're outside under a gazebo enjoying lunch together!

I'm going to put this centerpiece over on the black table and convert my plate rack to a new spring look! These dishes might be up there soon!

 I included these dishes in a post back in 2014 called "My Spring Bling" you can see it "here"

Notice my Christmas Cactus decided to bloom again.  It bloomed on half the plant not long ago and now the other half is blooming!  Doesn't fit in with the color scheme but I'm not complaining!

  6. Well, those sure are happy plates! I love that they are all different. And you're right. The colors are wonderful. Love the tablecloth too. Your centerpiece vignette came together nicely. The big lady plate is so pretty and striking. I miss doing tables. Not where I'm at lately. I have been enjoying purple more than ever lately too. Nice inspiration here. So nice that you stopped by! Thanks so much!

    I am really enjoying this artistic, hip and Spring inspired table setting. It is so refreshing and feels like a breath of fresh air! I wonder if there is a way to find these plates, you mentioned that they were in a box from a few years ago?? I'd love to have a set!

  17. Beautiful table and not a color that is done all the time. I live in Minnesota and right now everything is purple in memory of Prince but it is fun to see a purple tablescape. Lovely.

  23. What a unique tablescape Liz! Those plates are so unusual, I just love the way you featured the face in the center, she looks so mysterious, like she's luring you to sit and dine and hear her stories...Lovely colors too! Crazy about your Christmas cactus!
