Please join our Hostess, Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch for more beautiful tablescapes.
Today I decided to use some salad plates that I picked up at TJ Max on clearance for $2.00 each. I really like them. They have a beautiful orange rose with a light blue accent and gray writing. I paired them with my green dishes and cream chargers from Home Goods.
I added these mercury candlestick holders with the mercury "lamp shades" (purchased at Roger's Gardens in Corona del Mar) and the green mercury votive holders (purchased at zgallerie).
I tried to bring out the blue by adding a blue napkin between the plates. These would look fabulous with a light blue dinner plate, but alas, I don't have any. Dang! I used my Towle heirloom silver that is so special to me. 
Thank you for stopping by and Happy Tablescaping!

Hi Janie! Your table is so romantic! I love those salad plates you found at TJ's. I need to remember this napkin layering idea in the future! Blessings!
Hello Janie! I LOVE those salad plates. There's just something magical about chartreuse and tangerine! Soo Yummy!
So yes it looks like we have a couple things in common... Our Dogs love lizards and our Hubbies love HOG's. Harley Davidsons that is... Did you see my post a while back about Bike week? If you want to see it just type in Bike Week into the search box at the top of the blog... it will bring it right up! Its our Harley and a little ride we took.
And here is a little funny story for you... This morning I was sitting at the table and I had the door propped open cause it was such a nice morning and Gadget came scrambling into the house, her nails scattering on the wood floor. I jumped up and looked at the the heck was going on and there was a lizard squirming on the floor NEXT to its separated squirming tail! I think I started screaming a couple obscenities and Hubby came a runnin... EwwwwwwwwAhhhh! I still don't know what happened! But it was GROSS!~ I know.... all that coming from a girl that wears leather on the week end!
Cute post about the Harley...
Sorry for the novelette on your comments page...

I love your plates and your candle holders. Gorgeous tablescape!...Christine
Your mercury glass candlesticks are really romantic. I don't have any mercury glass, but I may be tempted to get some. Great buy on the pretty salad plates.
Janie,
Those candlestick holders just make your table sparkle and I love the plates you found at TJ Maxx. Beautiful and classy table. Cindy
Janie, I love the orange roses theme. Orange roses have always been my favorite. The plates are really pretty, and I love mercurized glass too, so, well done.
Love those dishes and they are very nice paired with the green ones!
Thanks for your kind, warm comment.
Have a wonderful day, Marsha
Oh, I just LOVE those salad plates!!!!!!!! They are just beautiful. I like how you placed the blue napkin beneath them. The mercury glass was pretty as well. Very romantic table!
Hi Janie,

Beautiful table, I love the mercury candle holders from Rogers Gardens! I really like visiting Rogers Gardens in the Fall and Christmastime to view all of their decor! :O)Mary @Boogieboard Cottage
Hi Janie,
Thank you so much for stopping by to say hello today! Please stop by again anytime.
I am just loving the orange flower plates on your tablescape. Orange is not really a color I use a lot, but after seeing what you did, I am definitely inspired to do a tablescape with orange accents. So lovely. Amy :)
I liked the idea of using the salad plates to give the color cue to your table. The plates are lovely and also your chargers. Come visit me as I have posted several colorful tables today. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Janie,
Thanks for the sweet words over at my blog. You're tablescape is stunning. It's been years since I've visited Roger's Gardens, but what a magical place during Christmastime. I'm still thinking about a French settee I saw a Z Gallerie in Costa Mesa years ago. Thanks for sharing your tablescape. Love IT!

Hi,
You asked about the Macy's event. They have it every year the first weekend in April I believe. The whole main floor is decorated with live plants and flowers above where the display counters are sto it goes clear to the ceiling. It is truly an amazing event worth seeing. Thanks for visiting me today!
Beautiful table. I really like the square chargers.
What a beautiful table. The lamps are just so pretty!
Hi Janie ! Your table is very "Posh" - just love it, great
job. Thanks for sharing ~ hugs, Kammy

You table is set so lovely......and such an inviting feel to it.

Your tablescape is gorgeous. It is fun to see the different ideas. Now remember, don't throw anything out until you have tried to clean it. :-) Thanks for visiting me. Oh I recognize your header as California country. I guess you live in So. California. I am in the Bay Area in Northern California. The "Wine Country".
Such a lovely tablescape. I love all the dishes, they are just stunning. What a fabulous find at TJMaxx, the salad plates are gorgeous. I especially love the chargers, just stunning. You did such a beautiful job on the tablescape. Love it. Hugs, Marty
