What better way to welcome spring than with gorgeous linens by April Cornell. I was soooo excited when they offered to send me a few things from their wonderful spring line. The beautiful tablecloth and napkins I used for this week's tablescape are from the Genevieve Yellow Collection.
When I found these floral (bee skep) covered-soup tureens at Old Time Pottery around six months ago, I thought they would be perfect for a spring or summer tablescape.
Little did I know how perfect they were going to be...
Imagine my surprise when I placed them on the table and realized they had the exact same blue flower as my tablecloth from April Cornell! Can you see the little blue Morning Glory on the tablecloth? :-)
With bees buzzing 'round the tureens...
I pulled out my La Rochere glassware...
Do you see Mr. Bee?
Napoleon Bee flatware and beautiful April Cornell napkins completed the place setting.
Doesn't this say, It's Springtime!!! :-)
This darling sunny-yellow creamer and sugar are a gift from my sweet friend, Sue, whose blog is Rue Mouffetard. :-) Thank-you, Sue...I just love 'em!
Since the daffodils are so late in coming up this year, I didn't have as many for my floral arrangement as I would have liked.
So...I shopped the house and found some lovely dried lavender hanging in the guest room. I popped it right down into the center of my daffodils. :-)
I so wish you had a scratch and sniff monitor! Try to imagine the sweet scent of daffodils...just for this moment...
A bright, sunshiny day!
Looking forward to seeing your beautiful tablescapes!
