It's time for Tablescape Thursday again and tables are being set all across blogland. Sometimes its funny how well things come together even when they weren't purchased at the same time or planned that way. This week I've set my table in a way that would be really cute for an outdoor poolside table.....except I don't have a pool and our backyard is a work in progress with a new carport being built and driveway paved. So I've set my outdoor tablescape....inside.
Welcome to my colorful summer table.
You know I always set a place just for you.
I found a set of these plastic plates and bowls at BJs this spring and thought they would be perfect for the grandgirls.
Here's an overview of the indoor/outdoor table. Let's see how things came together.
The green cloth napkins came from Target last fall and the metal flower napkin rings came from Pier I this spring (around Easter).
I got some pink ones and some yellow ones.
The colorful paper napkins were a hostess gift from a friend a couple of years ago. The fun plastic straw glasses came from Target....all four of the grandgirls love these.
Two pink and two aqua blue. They had lots of colors -- when my sister was here with her grandson he liked the glass too---so I got one for him (he's 10) and two more for him to take back for his younger sister and brother.
For my birthday, my son and DIL brought me this cute runner and two tiered server from Target.
I added two of these green bamboo placemats that I found at Ross about three years ago in Atlanta.
Love the colors in this server.
I thought it would be cute with some little sandwiches for the grandgirls.....
.....and of course cookies! (The twins started calling me Nana Cookie awhile back)
Don't you love it when an odd assortment of things come together to make a bright and cheerful tablescape? How fun is that!
Be sure to check out all the tables this week at "Between Naps on the Porch", it's always fun to peek at all the tables each week!
See ya!
I love summer and your tablescape wants me to dip in the pool! Love the butterfly server.

What a happy table! I wish I could have lunch with you! I think most of my tables just happen when a bunch of things that aren't bought together just happen to work together. It is really more fun that way, don't you think? I love those napkin rings.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!! You always do this so wonderfully!! You must have a room filled with lovely things that you can use for your table settings! I am in awe! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this tablescape. You must have the most beautiful dining room all the time. Some day I going to meet you and sit at your table and have coffee/tea and conversation. The tables you do always make me feel like you have just invited me into your house for some girl time.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful colors and patterns in this tablescape! The runner makes a great backdrop for these cheerful colors. My grandchildren would adore those straw glasses, too -- must look for some at Target ASAP! They are coming for Camp Grandmama soon.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute, fun and happy tablescape. I especially like the metal napkin rings. Thanks for visiting me. I remember you from a while back. I have not participated in BNOTP for a long time. Can't seem to fit it all in.

You said "its funny how well things come together even when they weren't purchased at the same time or planned that way". I couldn't agree more! I am constantly amazed at how many of my things work with others. Serendipity!!
