Just the other day I found an old Lang Calendar that I had kept because I loved the pictures. Last January I did a tablescape from the picture from the month of January and then I put the calendar aside. When I was glancing at the pictures again, I found this picture for February and thought I would let it inspire my table for this week. One problem.....I don't have a red polka dotted watering can......
....however, I DO have a pink one!
Welcome to my version of the watering can table setting.
I always set a special place for you each week.
My centerpiece filled with an unruly bouqet of wild daisies.
These dishes were found at Marshall's a couple of years ago. Perfect for a pink Valentine's setting......because.....
.....they're all about love in any language!
....hearts and flowers....
....for a pretty Valentine's brunch.
My next layer is a white dinner plate.....
....over a white wooden charger.
.....dreamy creamy faux ivory flatware and my lacy tablecloth layered over a soft pink one.
These sweet pink buds of this napkin ring hold some pink plaid napkins (reversible to pink flowers).
Soft pink goblets finish off this table.....
....so what inspires you when you're setting your table?
This week I'm joining Marty at "A Stroll Thru Life" for tabletop Tuesday and Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursday.
See ya!
I love your table setting. The plates are wonderful as are the chargers, and that pitcher is so pretty! Love, love it!! Your pitcher is prettier than the red one!

ReplyDeleteHi Martha! I love your pretty pink table and the darling watering can! I'm in love with your chargers too!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your pink table is exquisite! I really love the napkin rings and the flowered plates are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Martha! I think this is one of my favorite tables you've done!!! Not just because I love pink, either! It's just that you took an idea and ran with it...made it your own! The calendar picture did just as it was supposed to do: inspire. It inspired you to reach and do something really cool!!! I love the wildness of the daisies in the can. They look just like nature intended. It's all so pretty and would work just as well for a spring or summertime luncheon or birthday. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great inspiration? I don't know what inspires me. Different things, I guess. This is the kind of table that's my favorite. It's "valentiney", but it isn't in your face valentiney (like mine is this week.) I actually prefer your style. I love the watering can in the middle. I have a yellow one similar in fact, and you have reminded me to whip it out. Everything is just beautiful on this table. Two pink thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteOh how I do love pink! Especially when used with green...so fresh and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love this table....and you have so inspired me that now I am looking for odd settings of four at auctions and flea markets I go to...they have to be unusual. I have a tablescape setting begun...I am still looking for a few pieces to complete it. Thank you so much my friend for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMartha, what a darling table! Those chargers are just perfect to lend a "lacy" edge to the plates. Your watering can proved to be very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteI love those floral plates! They are just so pretty and the pink is perfect with the polka dot watering can!
ReplyDeleteOh Martha! I am drooling over all this pink! Love the cheery watering can with daisies and romantic roses on the dishes. And I think I have told you before how I love those wooden chargers! Wonderful table, as always!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so happy with how this turned out! I love the pink everywhere! I do love pink and will have to build on that a bit more! The watering can inspiration was a great idea and you pulled it together beautifully! Love your plates but I especially love those glasses!! Mine!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Valentine's Day! Liz
What a beautiful blog! Your colors are gorgeous. So glad I found you. I'll be back.

Super fun table. My favs are the watercan of course, plain napkin rings, and white wood chargers. I keep looking for them to go on sale enough to buy a few, but so far, not on sale enough. Your table is whimsical and lovely. Thanks for sharing. ~CJ
ReplyDeleteI just love a pink table! Beautiful dishes and great plaid napkins. Perfect centerpiece with the watering can and daisies. Such a happy table!

Such a pretty tablescape in the pink and white. I think your floral arrangement in the watering can reminds me of spring and so does your table. Happy Valentines Day! Pat
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I LOVE your floral love plates and the pink is perfect for valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that pink, polka dot watering can. The whole table is so sweet and dainty and just somewhere I can see myself spending the day because it's so inviting.
