Tablescapes, Hurry Spring
The weather is crazy in most of the USA right now
Our weekend got cut short when fear of the predicted ice storm
sent my family back to the city a day early
Yesterday began with 4 degrees and an inch of snow in Birmingham
On the Gulf Coast of Alabama it was 24 degrees
with a frigid fog steam coming off the water
Freddy was looking for a warm spot, but I didn’t invite him in!
To take my mind off of weather woes,
I got out some pretties and set this Hurry Spring table
DD’s family gave me these bright blooms for Valentine’s Day
I put them in a favorite Chalk Painted Pitcher
and elevated the arrangement on an overturned soft purple bowl
Place settings with mixed flatware, a napkin in bloom,
and a margarita glass
I know we will all celebrate when Spring comes at last!
In the meantime think Spring
and all the flowers it will bring
We’ve been making drinks with fresh juices
to brighten things up
CC has been helping and squeezing oranges into a cup
She is cuter than any cupcake she can bake up!
At least we can make it feel like Spring inside!
I will be joining these fabulous parties and blogs:

Precious granddaughter! Love your thoughts of spring~brrrr…
Thank you Ann, I think we’re all a little winter weary at this point!
Oh poor Freddy… I bet his feathers are frozen! Love your colorful and spring-y table and flowers Jenna! CC does make an adorable cupcake 😉 Stay warm ♥
Thanks Mary, you too!
It would have been very tempting to invite Freddy in. He’s a stunner, that’s for sure — if only you could be sure he wouldn’t flap his wings near the glassware! I adore your sous chef. She’s a gem!
haha, he really scared me when he arrived! I was only a few feet away inside!
Perfect antidote to this sucky weather! I can’t believe the heron came that close to your door. They’re very skittish around here (probably because they’re pretty far north and feel out of their realm anyway!). We had ice on Monday, and now we’re under a snow warning. Many areas here are still without power for felled trees. We feel for our Southern friends! Stay safe.
Thank you Rita, so sorry about your winter woes! Freddy is skittish, but we haven’t been around much this winter so he pretty much feels right at home!
Bringing the lovely colors inside to brighten your days is such a nice idea. Poor Freddy! Stay warm, and I hope your power stays on.
Thank you Carole, we got lucky, looking forward to warmer temps this weekend!
The weather is so crazy everywhere! I love your little helper and your beautiful spring table 🙂
Thank you Martha, I’ve been chasing the winter blues away!
Ah! Spring in your house! It won’t be much longer until there is spring on the outside as well! 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐🥀
I hope so! We’re looking forward to high 50s this weekend…
Jenna, CC is a doll and a good helper. Your table is a breath of spring and the bouquet is perfect. Freddy just wanted to come in and get warm 😉 We have sunshine and it is beautiful to see before the rain returns tonight. I am so thankful for a warm house!
Thank you Pam, she is really into cooking right now! I’ve never seen it that cold at the beach, Brrr! I’m back now and looking forward to the warmer weekend here!
Awe, your little grandgirly so adorable! Girl, that’s some pretty snow but the temp! OH LAWD HELP ME JESUS! I couldn’t stand being that cold. Of course that snow is already pretty to look at to me. We finally had some sun peek out yesterday and I was so glad to see it. I crave Vit. D. Your table looks adorable. Oh I am laughing cause Freddy ain’t stupid….He knew it would be warmer inside! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
haha, thanks Cindy, he came right up to the window, scared me to death!!! Hurry Spring!
Adorable princess!Love your gorgeous flowers and your pretty table,so colorful. Keep warm!
Thank you!
Poor Freddie, he looks confused at this cold weather. Burr, sure is cold at the beach! CC is a cutie pie and I know you must have hated to see them leave early. Pretty blooms and table. I think we had a lot more snow that you had in the city. Glad it’s only raining now even thought is soooo cold. Take care Jenna……..
Thanks Emily, I hope you didn’t have any issues or outages…
The combination of lavenders and blues is lovely! A light touch full of the idea of spring. It will surely come — right? The flowers are gorgeous! Their deep colors complement the pastels perfectly.
Thanks so much Sandra, fresh flowers means a tablescape, right?!
I love your jonquils painting! I really want spring to hurry-up….we need to do our Spring Dance!
I did see daffodils growing the other day and my car was covered in pollen when I got back from the beach, good sign!
