We had some friends over for dinner and my new pot was the center of attention until I became allergic to the flowers... Lesson learned.. I will use flowers that don't have a strong smell at the dinner table! By the way... I use non smelling candles to... If they are too scented they can clash with the smell of the food... And.... you don't want that! |
 |
I used my blue and white Spode dishes and every plate was different... I like using different patterns of china at my table..... |
 |
I find it refreshing and some what rebellious. |

 |
Even the place-mats were different... The two mats at the head of the table were different from the four on the side... |

This is the view from my dining room... Don't you think the flowers are beautiful! I love this time of year... Well, any who... I'm looking for a small table to use with this vintage set of chairs.... A friend of mine had the pillow made for me in India... I love it because the pattern is going sideways and she was so sweet to bring it back with her from India... Like I said... A little rebellious at times! Hope you had a wonderful Mothers day...

Julie,
ReplyDeleteI love your table setting. Your new blue and white jar is beautiful. What is the pattern of your goblets? Those are lovely and look like they could be antique.
The freesia is beautiful in your vase but I've done that before. The sweet scent makes me sneeze too!
I hope you're having a wonderful Mother's Day.

I agree it's fun to use a mix of dishes. It takes something that could be fussy and immediately makes it much more casual...yet beautiful! You set a beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so lovely, hope you had a special day!
ReplyDeleteI've long admired blue and white collections but it is images like these that make me want to start one of my own. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love blue and white!

What a beautiful setting! And the view of your back porch and flowers! I am so in need of a good view!! I am a mixer as well … and love it! Hope you had a beautiful Mother's Day!!
ReplyDeleteLovely table settings. For unscented, can you use beeswax candles? The scented ones are generally made with chemical scents, which is what bothers people and causes toxic reactions.
ReplyDeleteI spy that peacock fabric we share!! so lovely
ReplyDeleteI adore a blue and white tablescape... and yours is stunning!! Gorgeous porch too!

So, so beautiful! I love a mismatched table - so much more interesting!
ReplyDeleteTina over at The Enchanted Home was just noting how blue and white is so popular now, and I've seen it here, too. Simply gorgeous and so classic!
ReplyDeleteStacy
That is one of the prettiest tablescapes I have seen in a long time! Love the different plates, and I agree with no scented candles at the table...YUK!!

So beautiful, Julie. How in the world are you guys doing?...I hate that I am so absent from the blog world. We are just so busy...and guess what? I just got a new puppy. Little Luci. We adore her. Have a great week. Mona
