Tablescape Inspired by Anniversary Roses

The first blog post I ever put out in cyberspace was a tablescape, and it was over-the-top “dressy” with lots of *sparkle*. Back in those early days of blogging, tablescapes were an almost-weekly event around here—but that hasn’t been the case lately. In fact, I just haven’t been very inspired.

 

Until . . . Renaissance Man surprised me with yellow roses for our 30th anniversary.

 

 

While they still have some “pretty” in them, I’m ready to tablescape—even if it’s quick and casual, so ignore the wrinkles! With their festive yellow and white bow, the roses are just the perfect pairing for a vintage tablecloth I’ve been wanting to share with you.

 

 

This hand-painted cloth was a surprise in the mail one day a few months ago from a friend who said it made her think of me when she saw it. Isn’t that nice?

 

 

Today seemed like the perfect time to use casual old ironstone, too!

 

 

And, of course, I had to pull out the cute little “couple” vase. Yellow and pink aren’t a common color combo, so I don’t want to miss a chance to use this!

 

 

Calm and classic. Perfect for a Saturday morning.

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and that things are starting to settle a bit in your world. If not, I’m still here if you need someone to talk to!

I’m joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday. There’s lots of colorful inspiration there, too!
