Tablescape Thursday - Welcome Spring!

Hello! This is my first “Tablescape” post! I have always loved to decorate my tables for every season. My family has told me for years that there “has to be therapy for someone like me”! I love dishes and the pure art of tablescaping! I am overjoyed to find a “support group” (all of you talented bloggers) to appreciate and share in my addiction!

I love these dishes and it is always such a “lift” to pull them out and dress up my dining room table each spring. This set so colorful, full of whimsy and just so much fun!



This picture is from last year but I wanted to participate this week and will post my tables as they are “this year” in the next two weeks. I can’t wait to share them with you!


Thank you to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for providing a forum to enable a dish-a-holic!

Blessings to you & yours.

  10. Thank you everyone for the lovely comments!

    These plates were sold by Silvestri and were designed by Carol Eldgridge. Eating off them does brings back memories of childhood tea parties! (They carry some of the pieces at replacements.com)

    I mix and match placemats quite a bit. I like the look and I have several sets of 6 or 8 and a dining room table that now seats 12 :)

    I can't wait to post my next tablescape!

    Blessings to you all!

  11. Thanks for your sweet comments. Yes, I'm familiar with Tres Dias. The Emmaus Walk was modeled after Tres Dias. My husband and I had our walk last April. It really is life changing. We now volunteer to work background, doing whatever is needed like serving food, etc. They found out that I am a good printer, so I spent all weekend printing songs on large posterboard. We belong to the Keystone Emmaus Group. De Colores
