I’m joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
I thought I would pretend Spring was already here, instead of early morning temperatures we’ve had lately in the 20 degree range.
This is my everyday pattern, Botanic Garden by Portmeirion. It’s available almost everywhere and I love it because there are so many different pieces and flowers.
It ‘s also very durable and practical. It’s dishwasher, microwave, freezer and oven safe.
The glasses are by Zrike, I only have four. I ran across them at Home Goods several years ago.
This was a five minute centerpiece…apples in a bowl with carnations.
Add some seed packets and some moss and it feels like spring is right around the corner.
I have to confess, I love the packaging on these seed packets, but I’m much too impatient to plant seeds.
These cookies I found about two weeks ago in Home Goods, I loved the packaging and thought they’d make great party favors.
This table makes me yearn for the garden. I have always admired these dishes and noticed that the pattern comes with several serving pieces and size options. The table is just lovely with the birds and the flowers and the moss. The seed packets were a clever touch.

Love the tablescape. I have a party planning and ideas blog called Maddycakes Muse. I’m currently having a Easter/Spring Tablescape and Parties contest with prizes totaling over $300. I think your tablescape would make a great entry!
