Dreaming of Spring

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!  Are you dreaming of spring, and is spring decorating on your mind? If you answered yes, then you are at the perfect place. Today, I am blessed to be joining my favorite tablescaping friends to bring you some spring inspiration. This fun event is being hosted by the talented Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate.  A list of all of the participants is at the end of this post.

My dear and faithful readers, I am so sorry that I have been absent for the past several weeks. Life has been challenging, my creativity drained, and I needed to take a break from blogging. I hope that you understand, and know that I value your visits and the support you have given me and my blog. I have the best readers and blogging friends in the world! Hopefully, spring will bring a sense of renewal and peace. In the coming weeks, I can’t wait to share lots of spring decor with you.

Today, I’m excited and grateful to have the opportunity to bring you my interpretation of an early spring tablescape. If you are visiting from Sweet Sensations, welcome. Sandra always sets a beautiful table and creates the most delicious looking desserts.

 

A raspberry colored French tablecloth creates the color foundation for the tablescape. Shades of green and pink compliment the setting.

The floral placemats and napkins are by Ralph Lauren and were purchased last year at HomeGoods. Each napkin is tied with a pearl napkin ring.

 

Green straw placemats, green charger plates, and my grandmother’s Spode Rosebud Chintz china make up each plate stack.

Topping each plate are these adorable bunny plates that I found this year at Michaels. I adore bunnies and just couldn’t pass them up. My grandmother adored bunnies, too, and I know that she would approve of these accompanying her pretty china.

 

A trip to the grocery store lent these pretty spring flowers, and I simply arranged them in my MacKenzie Child’s Flower Market green pitcher. I recently started collecting the green Flower Market pattern, and I adore its color palette.

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for your visits and comments, sweet friends! Up next on the tour is Corner of Plaid and Paisley.  Be sure to visit all of my blogging friends on the tour. I know you will be inspired by their beautiful creations! May you have a most blessed and peaceful day!!!

  20. Shannon your table is stunning. From the table cloth to your centerpiece, everything is perfection. I so love your grandmother’s Spode and the bunny plates are joyfully singing spring. It would be wonderful to be a guest at your table.
    Wishing you a wonderful day and a beautiful spring.

  21. Oh Shannon I do love the Spode Rose Chintz plate design and the bunny plates stacked on top couldn’t be cuter! The tablecloth was a great background and I love the flowers! I have that same green pitcher and love the print!

  22. Shannon, first welcome back — you’ve been missed. But, I so get it. Life interruptus or sometimes throws us challenges along the way. I get it. Last year was difficult for me with both my dad’s passing, son’s surgery, and then losing my Scottie at Christmastime.

    It was worth the wait to see your beautiful table! I love the surprising mix of colors set on the raspberry tablecloth. And how cute are those bunny plates on top of your grandmother’s pretty Spode plates?! But, I am really crushing on the McKenzie green pattern pieces. They are fabulous.

  23. Shannon, your bunny plates are adorable and I love your color palette! We’re glad you’re back and it is a pleasure to join you on the tour today. Happy Spring!

  24. Beautiful colors, love the tablecloth. Everyone needs a break here and there. I don’t think I could keep up the unrelenting schedule of a blog! We understand this, all is well.

  25. Beautiful table Shannon!…Adorable, adorable bunny plates, but must say that I am partial to those beautiful Spode plates. I have a few of them and just love using them when I can! Happy to see you back and we all need a break to “recharge”!! Looking forward to your Spring decor!

  26. Shannon, your Spring table is just gorgeous! I love your plate stack, especially those bunny plates, Yes, I’m so ready for Spring! Happy week! Z

  27. So pretty!! Love the color of your tablecloth!! Everything just sings Spring!!
    Hugs,
    Deb

  28. Those adorable bunny plates make me smile! Your table is so pretty and I love the colors that you used. Hope you are feeling recharged from your break…we all need one sometimes! Enjoy the rest of your week!

  29. This is just gorgeous, Shannon! This color scheme is stunning, and those placemats/napkins were a great score at HG! I’m a big MacKenzie-Childs fan, too, and I love the pattern you chose.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re having to take a break from blogging, but sometimes that is a much-needed thing. I hope you can rest up and recharge, my friend.

  30. Shannon, when I saw your leading photo, the word dreamy came to mind, and then I saw your post title – how fitting! I can’t say enough about the layering you created on this table. I am so fond of linens, and the raspberry French base is perfect with those RL napkins and placemats (have you ever seen ANY table textiles by RL that weren’t gorgeous? Me either!). Your grandmother’s chintz and the Michael’s plates are a winning combo. I’d say you definitely have your mojo back! Oh, and if you’re trying to collect MKC green flower market, shoot me an email if you’re not already aware of the FB page for MKC collectors. It’s very well moderated, and you may be able to score some deals.

  31. Shannon, all your dishes are so pretty and work beautifully together. Love the bunny plates. Your centerpiece is stunning. All the colors are like walking through a garden.

  32. This is so pretty Shannon and I love the layers you’ve created. Your grandmother’s dishes feel right at home. We all need a recharge from time to time and it’s good to have you back again.

  33. This may be my favorite table in the “hop”! I love all the colors and patterns you used.

  34. Shannon, I am so pleasantly surprised by your very lovely table. When I take my first look, I am at awe and immediately see how elegant and exquisite it is. When I begin to look at all of the pieces, I begin to realize the many patterns that are going on all together. It is amazing! They work so beautifully together to make the table so interesting but, at the same time, not drawing too much attention to any one outstanding pattern. I love the MacKenzie Childs pieces. Such a beautiful blend. Stunning!

  35. What a beautiful table! I just love those floral plates with the bunny plate on top. Gorgeous! Happy Spring to you.

  36. This table is so gorgeous! You did such a wonderful job with this! I love the tablecloth, it provides such a wonderful backdrop to your beautiful vintage pieces! I love the plates you have displayed here, all 3 are so lovely together! It was a pleasure to hop with you, happy Spring!
