Blue!

I decided that since the Hydrangeas are starting to bloom,

it was time for a blue tablescape...

(click photos to enlarge)

I have said before I am not much of a blue girl..

I found out just how true this is

when I began searching for some blue for the table!

So I scattered some Hydrangeas on the table

creating a blue tablecloth :-)

And I resisted the urge to add roses!

Except on the dishes!

Since we are having warm evenings

I thought it would be fun to have ice cream on the patio...

So I am using my Homer Laughlin berry bowls...

with a pink depression glass plate underneath.

Another Homer Laughlin dish,

this pattern is fluffy roses

 a favorite of mine.

I will fill this small plate with strawberries later,

for now it has some stalks of Toad Flax to garnish it...

I will be serving a little melted chocolate

 in this tiny glass pitcher..

to drizzle over the ice cream and strawberries

Mmmmm

The napkins are favorites,

and I use them often.

Vintage with a nice crochet corner.

The lavender is also just starting to bloom,

and sprigs breathing their scent onto the napkins

seemed perfect!

and the Hydrangeas!

I made a floppy casual arrangement

in the cherub compote I painted last month

Blue really is beautiful

I should work on acquiring some!

Today I am joining

Susan at Between Naps on the Porch

for Tablescape Thursday
