Good morning Tablescaper's and Visitor's. Welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch.
A plaid placemat and napkin by Ralph Lauren that came from Marshall's last year for my Christmas tablescape inspired this bookish arrangement.
An old bamboo grapefruit spoon is poised to dig into a fresh grapefruit.
My favorite cobalt blue glasses for skim milk and juice fit in alright.
The cream pitcher and sugar bowl are setting on a book box that I won, along with the black candle stick shade on the barley twist candle stick, from Rhoda at Southern Hospitality in a give-away last year.
The little herringbone blue and white spreader goes with the Spode, Blue Italian dishes that I used here for you today and are a nod to the RL placemat and napkin.~
Happy Tablescape Thursday everyone. Thanks for visiting today. I really enjoy our Thursday visits.
Hugs,
Sue
Love your tablescape but I'm a fan of blue and white! I've never thought to pair it with plaid (for I think blue and white goes with everything -- and you've proved it by placing it on the plaid!)
ReplyDeleteLove all your pieces -- envy the little bowls and the creamer and sugar!
Beautiful!
Oh my... this is so beautiful and so very festive!
ReplyDeleteI love the spode sugar and creamer set you have-that is next on my list as I too have the same spode dinner service.
Have a lovely day, NM.
Thanks you for the nice comment on my blog... I see we both love blue and white!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely with the tartan (plaid),' old leather bound books' and silver!
Oh I do love this tablescape. It looks like something out of a Hemmingway picture. Love the plaid, and the silver with the beautiful blue and white. All the books make it even better. Great tablescape. Hugs, Marty

Oh pretty -- I have a tablecloth like your plaid placemat -- never thought of blue and white dishes on it -- thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteOh I want to eat breakfast on that table. Books, plaid and Blue Italian are some of my favorite things. I used a blue Italian piece on my table today too. It is one of my favorite patterns. I just love all your beautiful ideas. Now I want to go get all my blue Italian out. Blessings!
