French Table Setting in Pink

What I love most about Spring are the pretty flowers! I picked up some pretty pink ranunculus from both the flower market and my own garden and put together this Spring French table setting!

This post may contain affiliate links meaning I make a few cents when you click.

When putting together this table, I initially used my Juliska “Country Estate” plates. But then I looked up on my bedroom wall and thought, ah ha! And the pink plates came down from the wall.

The plates are by Meissen and the pattern is “Purple Indian”. Based on the mark on the back, they are from around the 1850s!

The pink goblets are a recent antique mall score. They are vintage and made in France.

The table cloth is antique. It is a Madeira table cloth. The table cloth is made of organdy, applique, and embroidery. I’ve taken a close-up to show you the pretty details!

I love my vases! I hauled back the little bud vases with people from my trip to Paris last year. The pitcher in the center is new (an early birthday present!!) and is also from Astier de Villate. I just LOVE my new pitcher. The other little bud vases are Juliska and are retired.

I couldn’t stop photographing the flowers. They are so photogenic. Did you notice I hid some geraniums in the little bud vases?

This was the first year I have grown my own ranunculus. They are so pretty out in the garden; I hated picking them but then I brought them in and didn’t regret it!

I’ll end this post with a treat, would you like a raspberry macaron?

Easter Table Decorations 2016

I just love decorating for Easter! After a boring colorless Winter after Christmas, pulling out Easter decorations is so much fun! The bright colors are so cheery, how can you not smile when you see them?

This post may contain affiliate links which means I make a few cents when you click on links.

This year’s Easter table has three little bunny rabbits featured as the centerpiece. I love these plates from Pottery Barn– they come in several colors and are really pretty and colorful! The napkins are from William Sonoma – you can’t tell in the picture but they are a pretty blue rabbit toile. I have the matching tablecloth too but… I was too lazy to pull it out.

I just love these little rabbit egg carriers. We found this cute little egg flower at a local antique store – it is actually sitting in a real egg shell! It is so delicate!

The plates are so fun – pinks, blues, greens, yellows. I have a rabbit salt and pepper shaker from Pottery Barn. The little silver rabbit is actually a place card holder!

My mom found this other cute salt and pepper shaker – the rabbit is the salt and the carrot is the pepper! You can get it here.

These napkin rings are so cute! A little bunny sitting in some lettuce! You can get them here.

One last look at these silly little rabbits…

A Winter White Tablescape

I thought I would share with you the tablescape I have on the main dining table right now. I moved the white house and tree candles to the center. Mixed in between are battery operated candles that come on automatically at night and create some nice ambience in the room.

I like the Winter Whites here… although to be honest I’m excited for the pinks of Spring…

These little bird napkin rings are so cute.. they are glitter birds sitting on a folded ribbon. I just love them!

I didn’t set up this table for any occasion, only for the husband and I to enjoy. That’s why there’s no plates or anything.

One last look at this Winter White table. I like the simplicity of it.

Christmas Tablescape 2015

I finally put together the table for a Christmas tablescape! Come on up and have a seat while we take a look.

The tablecloth is new this year and I just love it! I love Santa and his sleigh flying over a gingerbread house and a Christmas tree… it’s so much fun! The cranberry topiaries were used for Thanksgiving and transitioned into Christmas…

Some fresh cedar garland twists across the center of the table, adding a nice aroma too. The room is dark, so we will light the candles when we dine here. I like the tabletop tree in the back providing some ambient light.

The china pattern is Juliska’s “Country Estate Winter Holiday”. I just LOVE these festive plates! Bought the matching punchbowl too and filled it with ornaments. The punchbowl sat displayed in the china cabinet during the rest of the year, I couldn’t put it away last year! Yes, I know, I have a Juliska problem.

The napkins match the tablecloth but you can’t quite see the pattern on the napkins when they are folded up.

I had so much fun decorating the table…. I walk by it every morning when I wake up and smile.

One last look… I liked how the glow of the candlesticks looked on the silverware in this picture.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look at my table! Decorating for Christmas is one of my favorite things.

The Thanksgiving Dinner Table 2015

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

Well, after looking at these pretty Thanksgiving tables I was inspired… and I am now showing you what I came up with for this year’s table! I like Thanksgiving a lot because it is the most formal meal we eat. My husband loves to cook and I love to bake and set pretty tables! Also, Thanksgiving kicks off my favorite season– the Christmas season!

The centerpiece is Mr. Turkey with the barley twist candle sticks and cranberry trees next to that.

The porcelain turkey is sitting amongst a vine of cranberries as well. There are lots of candles on the table as this room gets dark at nighttime as there is no overhead chandelier!

The dishes are Spode’s “Woodland” pattern which is so much fun… we like to choose everyone’s plate for them. My grandpa would get the turkey plate (’cause he’s a turkey, har har). For the big meal we also break out the real silver too. The silver pattern is “Williamsburg Shell” by Kirk Stieff.

Above, I wanted to show you the fine detail of the table runner in the middle… hand made fine antique lace! Isn’t it pretty?

A look at the little squirrel salt and pepper shaker – the squirrel is the salt shaker and his acorn is the pepper. Isn’t it cute??

Pheasants flank the ends of the table on both sides… the turkey and pheasants are from Williams Sonoma a few years ago.

Below is a look at the table from the other side where the lighting is much better! You can see the red on the cranberries some nice color to the table!

One last look from the other side…

We have way more people coming than 8… I am going to have to squeeze quite a few more place settings in and scrounge up some more chairs!

Well, we’re getting ready for Thanksgiving… getting our grocery shopping list in order! Are you ready for Thanksgiving yet??

Halloween Table Decorations 2015

Happy Halloween!! Yes, it’s a little early, but isn’t everything in blogland? I had fun putting together this spook-tacular table! This is my most terrifying table I have put together complete with ghastly ghosts and bloodcurdling bats!

I hung these boo-tiful bats from the chandelier… I have really enjoyed hanging stuff from the chandelier. It elevates the table scape to a whole new level!

I love the black and white MK courtly check placemats here… I like how they mix and match with my Juliska “Country Estate” black and orange plates. My talented mom made me the monogrammed purple napkins last year. I love how they match the poisonous purple goblets.

Each place setting is completed with a ghastly ghost name card holder. These took me just a few minutes to make… Simply print off your guest’s name in a ghoulish font, then cut around it in a ghost shape. With a black marker, add the ghost face. I used a Halloween truffle to prop each ghost up. The chocolate is not only for looks, but for function. Tastes good too!

In the center of the table I put my favorite little Clapsaddle vintage Halloween postcards. I love the owl one, it’s my favorite! Followed by the black cat to the right of it!

Also in the center of the table sit scary black cats and a happy pumpkin bear. They sit on a cake pedestal above the mysterious velvet pumpkin patch.

A closer look at the pumpkins and the hair-raising mini scary cat…

One last look… the black scary cat has crossed your path, beware! I hope you enjoyed this frighteningly fun Halloween table!

Fall Table Setting 2015

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

Since it’s October and officially a few weeks into Fall, I am finally ready to share my Fall tablescape! I am just loving the look of it this year!

I have a few new things… the antique dough bowl in the center! This puppy is HUGE. It’s also a genuine antique. A lot of them are reproduction but mine came from a reputable antique dealer in Oregon who tells us this is from the 1800s likely made in Pennsylvania. It is carved from one solid piece of wood! Amazing! I filled it with a variety of pumpkins, my favorite being the red-orange cinderella pumpkin in the center! A few pieces of Indian corn are arranged on top (credit to the husband – I asked him to set them on the centerpiece, don’t they look nice?)

New this year are the dried wheat stalks from Tuesday Morning as well as my new favorite thing… mini pumpkin cocottes made by Staub! Aren’t they just the cutest? We’ve been serving up soup in them! The Staub pumpkins sit on my favorite Juliska “Country Estate” plates!

My Mom found this cute little squirrel salt and pepper shaker! He seemed like a perfect fit for Fall!

I love how the Staub pumpkin matches the real pumpkins! The deep purple hues from the napkin and goblets also match some of the deep purple in the Indian corn!

Oh, did I mention, this dining table is new too? It’s from Restoration Hardware. We’ve had our eyes on it for several years but it was above our price range… until one day we found at the RH Outlet for almost 25% of the original price. And there is no damage to it! Talk about a bargain!

I am thinking this table setting could go straight into Thanksgiving, but let’s face it, you all know I’m going to rearrange things for a new Thanksgiving table setting, right?

Oktoberfest Party Decorations – a Table Setting Idea

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

This past weekend I had some family over and we had an Oktoberfest party – lots of great Oktoberfest party decorations here!! For the party, I set up this pretty Oktoberfest table!

Hanging from the chandelier are printouts of Lebkuchen hearts you see everywhere in Bavaria – especially during Oktoberfest time! I simply took the ones from last year and glued them to some cardboard. I then punched a hole in the center and hung them with string! You can print out your own here through my Oktoberfest 2014 table: Oktoberfest 2014 table

I found the printed plates and napkins at Cost plus. The napkin rings are vintage Erzgebirge from Germany that were found on eBay. Aren’t they cute? They are holding plates from the harvest.

For the placemats, I made my own. I couldn’t find any Bavarian looking placemats anywhere! And when I found German placemats, they were black, red, and yellow which are the colors of the German flag. Oktoberfest colors are blue and white – representing Bavaria.

Making them was pretty simple. I used a previous placemat to get the right size. Then added some flannel to the back make it thick. The fabric was a bright blue picnic table fabric!

To finish them, the white ribbon was later sewn around the edges.

A closer look at the individual table settings…

One last look! I just love the hearts hanging from the chandelier!

An Oktoberfest table… pin away!

Summer French Table Setting

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

I have assembled my first tablescape after the big move! I was inspired by the beautiful roses that are blooming here, the orange topiaries, and my new French burlap fabric I bought!

This post may contain affiliate links

I put a freshly picked rose on each place setting. It’s not just to look at – pick it up and take a little sniff and you’ll be treated with the most pleasant smelling rose!

These are David Austin roses and they smell heavenly!

I saw a very similar table runner in Napa recently but they wanted $100. I found very similar fabric at a fabric store and bought it for $6/yard. I intended to make placemats with it but I think I like it as a runner for now!

I put one of my madeleine anduze candle pots in the center. It has a really nice fragrance. Purchased these at Pierre Deux years ago (RIP).

I like the Frenchie Summer feeling of this table. The cups and plates are from Williams-Sonoma. The cups are printed in French with fruits on them.

A pretty little collage that is pin-worthy for you 🙂

Pink Peonies Table Setting

Taking a break from blogging about my Paris trip to share my pink peonies tablescape!

As you all know, I LOOOOOVE peonies. They are my favorite flower. I mean, I named my blog after them!
This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy.

When I saw them I knew instantly that they would look good with my black “Country Estate” Juliska.

I found this pink ombre ribbon at my favorite store in Southern California – Roger’s Gardens. Ironically it was the cheapest thing I’ve ever purchased there… $5 for a whole roll of ribbon!

To add some extra pops of pink, I brought over my favorite antique Staffordshire swans to the table.

Let’s look closer at the peonies… you can almost smell them from here! They had a nice scent.

The peonies lasted for a week and then wilted. Too bad!

One last photo collage of my favorite table!

Patriotic Table Decorations for Memorial Day

With Memorial Day just around the corner, I put together this patriotic tablescape with the red, white, and blue in mind!

Patriotic Table Decorations with red charges, blue plates, and white placemats!

For this table setting, I brought out the four blue Juliska plates that I have that usually hang on the wall. I like how they contrast with the red chargers that I usually use at Christmas.

I also pulled out my lanterns to place on the side; the candles are automatic and turn on at night!

Patriotic Tablescape

I just happened to have fresh red roses that DH got me for our anniversary. Aren’t they pretty? For your patriotic table decorations at home you could use any white or red flowers as your centerpiece. Blue flowers are a bit harder to come by!

Patriotic Tablescape for Memorial Day or the 4th of July

What I like about this table is that it isn’t in-your-face with patriotism. It is more subtle.

Patriotic table decorations using blue Juliska, lanterns, red chargers, and fresh flowers!

Lavender French Country Table Setting

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

I’ve been inspired by my recent trip to France to make this simple French country table setting!

Lavender French Country table with burlap, dried lavender, purple goblets - Peonies and Orange Blossoms

French country tablescape

Dried lavender from my parent’s garden is in the Le Lapin French water pitcher.

At each place setting there are two simple pieces of lavender with name card holders made from wine corks. For this setting, I put down my favorite Parisian bakery/pastry shop names to remind me of my trip!

The wine cork place name card holders were actually used at my wedding. Needless to say I used to have about 120 of them… all made by my Dad (thanks Dad!)

A look from the head of the table… the faux-lavender in the anduze pot is from one of my favorite shops in St. Helena (in the Napa valley).

I like how my Juliska purple goblets go with the lavender.

I love the simplicity of this French country feeling table with the lavender and burlap. It was so easy to set up.

I am pretty excited about my Easter table this year. Not a whole lot has changed, but I just love the bunny rabbits!

The little bunnies pulling the wagon are pulling Easter eggs and are a new addition this year from Pottery Barn….

This year I put a white paper lace “charger” under the green bunny plates.

I also have little robin’s eggs nests scattered about on the table too.
