I've set the table for a luncheon with lavender.
My previous post "Lavandula" was about our visit to a local lavender farm and of course I had to pick up some things at their little store. The dried lavender smells divine and I even found some shortbread cookies with lavender too!
My sister gave me the little Fleur de-lis spoons for Christmas and I decided they'd make a good stirring spoon for the espresso coffee we're going to try.
I know I'll need a lot of sugar and cream to like it!
The linen table topper I bought has embroidered lavender in each corner. I'm going to give it a spot on the formal dining table after this.
I know it's not a gorgeous floral arrangement but the dried lavender is so very fragile there isn't much you can do with it. I carefully coaxed it to fill the pitcher the best I could. Many little pieces of lavender fell which I collected into a bag but then decided to sprinkle them around the base like potpourri.
I dressed up the setting with these frosted white candle votives.
I layered two napkins together and used my PB antique silver napkin rings. The fleur de-lis (Sur La Table) and heavily embossed (Ralph Lauren Sophia- TJMaxx) floral plates embrace this lavender luncheon.
The three tier tray was a find at Hobby Lobby this past spring

Such a lovely table and I know the lavender smells heavenly. Ours dried up months ago. Lavender color is striking. It would be a treat to sit down at this table and take in the beauty.
ReplyDeleteHello Liz, I'm very happy that I found your blog :) We all should try to make our meal tables inviting. When we break bread together & the setting is beautiful, everything we serve tastes even better. Your lovely lavender table setting would be perfect for a shower of any kind.
ReplyDeleteLovely! May I come for tea?
ReplyDeleteLiz, Your table is lovely and I bet the lavender smells amazing.

I love your Fleur-de-lis details on your lavender table (including your blog background :) Your embroidered linen table topper is so versatile too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I love the Fleur De-lis plates. The lavender napkin folded over the blue and white striped napkin is so unexpected and so beautiful together.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
