Between Naps on the Porch for more tablescapes!

This table is didn't photograph as well as I had hope. You can see the contrasts a lot more in person. The pink hydrangeas are so beautiful. Who could resist them at the store. They come in such great colors too. They will be a one of the star flowers at Alyssa's wedding, only in green and white.
I used a soup toureen, given to me by my Uncle Rod and Aunt Marjorie, to hold the flowers. I then wrapped a napkin around the edges and added a string of green beaded garland.

After long last, I broke out my Eternal Beau dishes by Johnson Brothers. My very first set of dishes. They are so sweet and delicate to me. As usual, I am using my chargers from Home Goods. They are becoming a staple on my table. I think I've used them on every table since I got them a month ago. I used pink and green napkins to help achieve the color balance I was going for. The napkin rings are from Home Goods. They came in a set of four with four napkins. I used two on this napkin set.

So pretty and delicate yet it makes a big impact.

I got these salt shakers when we lived in London (we bought the china from Selfridges when we lived in London in 1983). I have quite a few pieces that go with the set. Now people like to mix things up more. Back then, it was more matchy matchy!

I got these pretty pink candle votives at Home Goods. Only 2.99 each! I felt like it was stealing! I kept thinking I was going to get to the cashier and she was going to say, "Oh, these rang up as $10.00 ea". I felt like the lady on the IKEA commercial where she buys a bunch of stuff and the price is so low, she runs out of the store and yells for her husband to start the car so she can get away before they realize they made a mistake!!!

Oh, Janie...your table is divine! Pink and green is one of my most favorite combinations and Hydrangeas are my favorite flower...may I join you...please?!

I loved your dishes. The pink hydrangeas were quite beautiful. I loved the bold punch of color. I thought it showed up perfectly in your photographs. Pink and green is my all time favorite combination.
My favorite flowers are hydrangas. The pink color on yours is heavenly. Your table looks so pretty. I love the shape of your dishes.
You have set such a pretty table!The hydrangeas look beautiful and looks like you love Homegoods as much as me.

Janie,
I love the pink and green....so pretty together. And the votives were a deal! You commented on my green urn in my tablescape. I am pleased to say that was a GW find for $3. Don't ya just wonder why people get rid of some of the things they do?! Linda
Your dishes are lovely. The shape of the salt and pepper shakers is so different. Your tablescape is stunning!
So lovely. Those dishes are very delicate looking. I think hydrangeas are my fave flower, next to roses, and pink and green together is absolutely my fave color scheme.

I've always liked pink and green -- and what pretty dishes.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love your china and it looks great on the chargers. The hydrangea is so pretty - love the pink and the green combo. Your salt and peppers are so pretty. I've never seen that shaped before. Beautiful! :D Jewel
That table is beautiful. I was wondering if the flowers were real when I first saw them. Just gorgeous!
Janie, this is so beautiful. I love the stacked plates and the placemats. That centerpiece is over the top though. What a wonderful idea...You really set a lovely table. Have a great day.
Blessings,

Janie, I also luv hydrangeas, especially the blue ones and I can't resist but buy them whenever I see them at TJ's. Your tablescape looks great! Hey and I was reading your blog, my daughter also graduated from UCI...it was June last year! Hmmm, wonder if they ever crossed path :)

Sometimes a girl just wants to have a pretty pink and feminine table. Yours was just that. I love that IKEA commercial too! Thanks for sharing with us. I love the beautiful hydrangeas too.
Oh your pink and green -- just whispers "Spring"! Love it.
Lovely table. I find it difficult to photograph white, then with all that lovely sun that streams into my diningroom I really must pick the right time of day. Oh bother!
As my friend Winnie the Pooh would say.
I think you did a fine job of it. Thanks for stopping by~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
The table is lovely Janie and the hydrangeas add just the right amount of splash.
I really like the shape of the salt and pepper shakers too.
Oh your tablescape is stunning and your dishes are just gorgeous. Such a very pretty and inviting setting. Hugs, Marty
Fabulous tablescape. I love your dishes. And hydrangeas are my favorite. I love pink & green together. Very springy!!!
What a pretty tablescape!
Janie I love your table! Pink and green and white and so soft! You know your dining room set reminds me of mine! Don't know when I'll do a tablescape in there right now it's my craft and catchall room! God Bless! Lauralu :)
P.S. Nice Hair!
Just adore this tablescape. So pretty and delicate. I am going to hunt for those chargers... they really stand out. The hydrangea was the perfect touch.
Well, I'm just stomping my foot and in a snit! I want a Home Goods! I LOVE the chargers! What a beautiful table!

Hi Janie...
Just wanted to stop by to say thank you for taking a peek at my Spring & Green tablescape...I sure do appreciate all of your kind comments!
My friend, this pretty pink and green Spring tablescape is gorgeous!!! The pink hydrangeas are soooo very beautiful, I think that they are becoming my favorite flower...sure wished that we could grow them here in Colorado! Anyway, they really make the perfect centerpiece for your lovely table! And....your Eternal Beau dishes...simply divine!!! I have never seen this Johnson Bros. pattern before and I just adore them! They are so pretty, delicate, and romantic!!! A beautifully done table, my friend!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
Janie,
I am just making my rounds, been sooo busy!
Your tablescape is stunning, pink and green, mmmmm! And Hydrangeas are one of my favorites. I think your pictures turned out really well, I am having problems learning how to use my flash correctly, so I may only take photos in the day!! Your dining room is beautiful also.
I really do like your china. I have always loved delicate flowers and a feminine look. Is this your wedding china? I know it is hard to use good china for more than special occasions and the concensus seems to be we shouldn't "save" things but enjoy them now, but I was heartbroken when I broke a piece of my perfect set of 12 good china so I just don't like to risk it.
I love how you used 2 napkins and 2 rings~very clever, can I steal the idea??!
Thanks for the tip on TJ Maxx, etc. being cousins! And I have yet to be to a Homegoods but found that there is one about 15 miles from me so I may go soon. Seeing your votives and the price has me motivated!!
Thanks!!
xoxo
Janie
