I've been going to my old Lang calendar for the past few months to get tablescaping inspirations. This was the April picture from 2010. So for this week, I've set an April Tulips table.
Welcome to our Spring table.
Won't you join me?
A look at the layers. Plain white dinner plates over scalloped chargers -- two hot pink and two orange.
A sheer orange gingham topper over a white tablecloth.
I decided to use these dragonfly napkin rings from Pier One...instead of the butterfly on the calendar.
Etched stems.
A closer look at our elegant tulips cascading across the table.
I think the picture shows the flowers in a jar....so this mason jar serves as a casual vase.
Tabletop view.
Loved these ruffled tulips.
A look at the overlay of the tablecloths.
The "stars" of the table.
I'm joining Kathleen at her "Lets Dish" for Earth day. And Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursday.
See Ya!
So pretty! Love the tulips and the ruffled edge is gorgeous. I always love the tableclothes layered.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

What a beautiful table Martha! Reminds me of when I worked in the Manor and had to set tables for all the luncheons and dinner parties madame would hold. She did like tulips and would do all the floral arrangments. They were always spectacular and of course there was no end to the table cloths, dishes, chargers, sliver, crystal etc. that she had for me to lay the table up with. It was an amazing experience. You did a lovely job with your table. Very beautiful. xxoo
ReplyDeleteLove the dragon fly napkin ring! I have one attached to my desk lamp...it makes me happy every day.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the whole table! Tulips are some of my favorites. I just wish they bloomed longer.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
What a clever idea! I love those Lang calendars but I've never thought of recreating their gorgeous pictures! Such a lovely table.
ReplyDeleteLovely tablescape. I am just a newbie in tablescaping and I really enjoy seeing everyone's lovely tables. I love your tulips! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove those beautiful tulips and that darling dragon fly napkin ring. As always your tables rock my friend.
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is simply lovely! The colors, the flowers, and the precious napkin rings. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the sheer gingham over the white tablecloth. And of course I love the tulips! Our tablescape ESP strikes again!
ReplyDeleteLOVE tulips... Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteWell, Martha, they say great minds think alike, and I used tulips and the same dragonfly napkin rings today on my table! Don't you just love them? I think getting inspiration from those calendars is a wonderful and clever idea. Happy Earth Day! Linda
ReplyDeleteI save inspirational calendar pages, too. I love your interpretation of the tulips for your tablescape. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteYour tulips are beautiful! I love using mason jars for flowers too. And those dragonflies bring such whimsy to your table. How fun! Thanks for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteYour tulips are so pretty...I just LOVE those pink scalloped plates!! Mason jars are so great, they have so many different uses.

The tulips and all the colors are so bright and cheery. I think I see new chargers on my wish list.

So clever to use your calendar for table inspiration! Your tulips in your mason jar are the perfect spring centerpiece :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, using the calender, Martha. Your table is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTulips, dragonflies, and spring colors. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table. I adore the butterflies and it looks like Spring to me. The tulips are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tulips, Martha! I love it when they sprawl out like that!!! They're pretty when they're all straight up and down, but they have a DRAMA about them when they kick their legs up and reach out across the table!!!! The color is beautiful! Pretty gingham overlay. I don't find much in orange. I love the color, but there's just not as much of it out there as one might expect to find in the stores. Maybe it's just me. Probably! ;-) Very pretty! I hope you have a great weekend on tap. Take care and enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I like the overlay of cloths like that. Very sweet. Tulips are the perfect flower for any Spring table :0)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
There is nothing more delightful than tulips in jars on a spring table. Your color scheme is beautiful. I just love your stemware.
ReplyDeleteThis says, Springtime!" You do have a knack for mixing and matching. All of it goes together so well.
ReplyDeleteAren't tulips just the best?
What beautiful tulips! I always get a Lang calendar every year but never thought to use them for inspiration. Great idea!

A perfect COPYscape, Martha! Your tulips in the mason jar make a perfect centerpiece & now I'll be on the look out for a calendar that might inspire me in the same way. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteYour dragonfly napkin rings are GORGEOUS...I must visit Pier One more often.
Thanks for sharing your pretty table.
Hugs,
Rett
You always have the most wonderful tables, Martha.Love your napkin rings and the tulips in the jar...:))
ReplyDeleteI am just beside myself with the new Blogger that greeted me this morning. It took me an hour to work up a post...everything different and some things I found...some I didn't. I haven't located where I go for changing my header...I have a headache from pulling all my hair out!! Are you having any trouble??

So pretty, Martha! Love the layered tablecloth and the tulips!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Let's Dish!
I love to see flowers in a Mason Jar. My father grew a lot of flowers (he was very good at it), and he often put them into canning jars and gave them to everyone. He always told them to keep the jar, too.
ReplyDeleteI really like this table -- bright happy colors are so good for the spirits, don't you think?
Love the bright colored chargers...perfect with the tulips! Your table makes me smile...
ReplyDeleteThis is such a happy and cheerful tulip table! I love the colors you used. Have a great day!
