May calander inspiration tablescape

 Some of you know that I've been using an old Lang calendar for monthly tablescape inspiration.  This month has been so busy I almost let May pass me by.

 But with one day left in the month, I took a peek and decided to  build my table around this picture from May 2010 of a bouquet of white and purple flowers wrapped in printed paper with a seed package all tied together with a blue and white striped bow.  The border was navy blue.  So......I went to work and.........

 I found some purple and white flowers at the local grocery store and a seed packet of white flowers at Home Depot.  Moonflowers.....I think I'll really plant them and see what happens.  The directions say that they almost glow in the moonlight.

Even though the flowers are all different and the only printed paper I could come up with was a page of the daily newspaper.....I thought it came together pretty well.

Since the border was navy and white, I used a navy tablecloth and goblets along with white china, chargers and flatware.  I tied the bouquet together with a blue and white striped napkin and also knotted some for each place setting.

One last picture......

                                    .....before I put the flowers in water.   I'm not
                             sure I would have picked out purple and white flowers
                             for a blue and white tablescape......but in this case....it just
                               seems to work.    I'll be back with June calendar inspiration
                              soon!

                             See ya!
