Tablescapes, Birdcages & Bluebirds

Spring seems to finally have arrived in most parts of the country

The birds are so happy and singing so loud sometimes I think they are inside my house!

I actually do have a few inside birds that agreed to help with this table

These beauties grace a square dish given to me by my mother years ago

A frog hopped in

with a dragonfly or two~

This little bird is afraid to fly away so he stays perched on the wreath outside his cage

I don’t trust the big one though, so he has to stay in his pretty little white bird cage

The table is set with a green & white lattice print topper and navy cotton placemats trimmed in turquoise and lime

The napkins match the place mats

The bottom plate is acting as a charger and once the plates are stacked you won’t see the yellow, just the blue rim and green leaves

The turquoise dinner plate just lets the cobalt rim and leaf tips peak out

Next is the square green & white contemporary floral salad plate

and the salad plate is topped with a “blossom” bowl.  I don’t have 2 turquoise, so I used a white bowl for the other place.

In this photo you might be able to see the detail trim on the mats and napkins, it is a turquoise braid with shiny gold dots.

Bluebird goblets are for a crisp white wine, and turquoise beverage glasses for water stand by.  {don’t worry my mother taught me better than this, I just put the glasses on the outside of this place setting for better photos!}

We are all set to enjoy a lovely meal surrounded by birdcages and bluebirds!  Thanks for joining us!
