More spring dreams and
the color purple comes to my mind.
the color purple comes to my mind.
What a majestic scene the sun helped create!
I've got lilacs on my mind!
It will be a while before we see them blooming
so my faux lilacs will have to do!

The sun was a welcome sight- notice the time in the next picture- I was taking pictures real early!

The faux lilacs were grabbed up on mark down at a gift shop late last summer. Can't wait for the real thing!

Tablescape Thursday
Oh, my, Liz, this table is gorgeous! Your photos look amazing, too -- what glorious light! I love the shade of purple in the napkins, and you've given me an idea to try purple with my Castleton Gloria china. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLiz, what a stunning tablescape! I love how the sun in shining in, looks just beautiful! Gorgeous plate settings and your centerpiece is just awesome! By the way, your purple is exquisite! Can you tell I love your tablescape???
ReplyDeletePurple is a wonderful color to welcome spring and your tablescape is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Liz! Man, you were up early...AGAIN!!! I don't know how you do it day in, day out! When that alarm went off at 5:45 this morning I thought I'd lose it!!! Your early rising habits yield great results, though, so go on with your superbad self!!!
ReplyDeleteI have these same dishes, but you have done them more justice than I ever could with this beautiful setting. I love the height used in the center of the table! This table really calls out the Spring fever we're all feeling!
I'm so glad you mentioned the name of the dish pattern. I bought these about 3 or 4 years ago, too, but I don't recall seeing the name on the back so as to record on my catalog. This also clears up for me what that other flower is. I was thinking it was dogwood. It has a lot of the characteristics of the dogwood bloom, and I bought several faux dogwood branches to go with this. Ha! It will just have to do!
Have a great day today!!!
Beautiful table Liz! I love the dishes!!~~Angela
ReplyDeleteHi Liz. Your table is so pretty. We don't see enough purple. I have some purple stemmed glasses that would look beautiful with your setting. I just saw your rooster collection. Now you know roosters are my very favorite collection but they've just about taken ocver my kitchen. Hope your doi Gael and it's always nice to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! I am loving the purple! We are still having cold weather and it is getting really hard now, we can't wait for the nicer warm weather! Thanks for sharing!

Great job, Liz...the pretty lavender was my mother's favorite color and it always reminds me of her!

Oh goodness, you still do have a lot of snow, yikes! No wonder you are dreaming of lilacs! Your table of purple with the sun streaming in in gorgeous! Your purple plates are too, purple is such a great color for spring!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Fantastic! Just love this!
ReplyDeletePurple! I'm into purple this year too, so I had to get right over to see what you'd done with your table (my purple table was right next to yours for a minute on BNOTP!). Yours is lovely. I like the statement that the huge, lilac centerpiece makes, and your dishes are sooo pretty. I hadn't seen those before. Really enjoyed my visit with you! ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteI love all of the purple that you've used in this lovely tablescape. So pretty!

Oh, Liz, the purple is so pretty; and you captured the dappled sunlight so beautifully! The morning sun over your table is stunning! I love this setting...the china, the crystal, the flatware, everything!
ReplyDeleteThat table is stunning! The light streaming in on it adds so much! Beautiful plates Liz!
ReplyDeleteCome see what the next tablescape challenge is.
Liz, love your purple napkins and your centerpiece of purple flowers looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteA very elegant setting....I LOVE those plates. So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...I am so coveting those plates! Your centerpiece is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love how your table is just sparkling in the sunlight!! I also love the combination of your beautiful crystal with the pretty shades of purple. It's a bit hard to believe it is the first day of spring when we still see snow! I didn't have nearly as much as your have though!!
ReplyDeleteI love the clematis plates, the faux lilacs, and the purple napkins together, The sunlight appears to make everything glow with a lavender beauty of it's own.
ReplyDeleteLiz - we must be thinking alike. I recently shot a purple table that I have not posted yet. Yours is stunning!! I love your beautiful crystal - what a wonderful anniversary gift. The sunlight streaming into your room just makes everything glow. So pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful everything-so welcoming charming and oh the lavender and the light too!
What a great post!
