Bountiful Blue Tablescape

I am joining Susan from Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday!



This is a major PaRtY for us dish collectors that LOVE to play with our obsession!



Be sure to check out all the other great and talented bloggers!



It is WoRth your TiMe!!!



I am playing with my



Blue Crown by Tiara and the Famous BIG Lots Gibson dishes.



My dishes are graciously resting on top of a Blue Willow



placemat that was purchased a couple of years ago from Home Goods. Sadly,



I only have a set of 4.....boo hoo!






Trying to be artistic with my new camera!




I layered with 2 different tablecloths. The toile tablecloth was a bargain at TJMaxx several years ago.
Got that baby for 4 bucks!







A bird's eye view of the centerpiece......

used a floral wreath, cake stand, dried hydrangeas, and a blue willow teapot.










Just a closer look in case ya needed it!



















I have used the dried hydrangeas for about 15 years now.



They are from my 1st home as a married woman.










I love using pewter with a blue tablescape!







Just tought I would add a little elegance to the mix!






Thanks for stopping by!

to play with their dishes!

  7. Hi! I've never seen you on Tablescape Thursday before! Good to "meet you" today!!! I am a big, big fan of blue & white, so I'm impressed right off the bat! Doesn't that just sting like crazy when you can't find more than 4 of something you really like???? Makes me nuts! What's even worse is when there are only 3!!! It looks like you were able to make some incredible bargain buys work very well with other treasures. I love it that you have been able to keep your dried hydrangea so pristene over the years. What a nice memory to incorporate in your tablescape! Have a great weekend, and I look forward to seeing you here again soon!
