Spring Porch Tablescape

Today I join Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch for another Tablescape Thursday.

Since it's been so warm here in the bluegrass, I decided to go ahead and set the porch table.

I picked blue and green to go with one of my favorite cake plates.

These white birdies were a good match since the cake plate centerpiece has bird houses on it.

Here's the base of the cake plate which features embossed lattice details.

This is the surprise you receive when you lift the cover of the cake plate. It is beautifully hand painted with flowers and butterflies.

Here you can see the birdhouses along with an adorable dragonfly!

Each birdhouse is raised in detail.

I can't remember where I purchased this cake plate. I've owned it for at least five years now and enjoy getting it out each Spring.

The other side of the cake plate.

Here you can see the layering of the green ceramic dinner plate with the plaid blue and green salad plate. I used a blue and white checked towel for the place mat and blue and white linen napkins. The napkins feature hand painted blue borders.

I thought these porcelain bird napkin rings went well with the white accent birds.

But when I put them together I think they blend into the white napkins to much. Oh well, they are cute anyway!


As dusk approaches I lit the candles.

Here is a close shot of my bee lights on the ficus.

I hope you'll join Susan to visit more posts of wonderful tablescapes. Thanks for visiting!
