Tablescape Tuesday - Spring is Springing Up!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to today's TABLESCAPE TUESDAY!

Today I'm showing what I did for our most recent Sunday Family Dinner, this past Sunday!

_______________________
For those of you new to my blog...We started a new family tradition last month that I hope continues even after the kids are grown.

"SUNDAY FAMILY DINNERS!"

We pretty much have dinner together as a family every night, but on Sundays, we have a special dinner in the dining room as opposed to the kitchen table, where we normally eat.

I get out the fine china and candles and make a special meal and so far, it has been something we look forward to each week.

Then once a month, we invite some of our extended family to join us for a Sunday family dinner.

It's also been giving me a chance to do lots of new TABLESCAPES..haha!

This Sunday I was all excited about putting out some more springy colors.  I was ready to put away the golds and purples and reds and those darker colors that reminded me more of those winter months, and get out something more cheerful and sunny!

This past Sunday was quite chilly for our area.  I live in Florida so we don't get a whole lot of chilly weather, but it actually dipped down into the 30's on Saturday night and was in the 50's for most of the day.  (I know, cry me a river, right?)

But the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day!  It sure LOOKED like Spring!  =D

I had seen a pretty turquoise and orange colored tablescape on Pinterest recently and decided that was the first "spring table" I was going to do.  I love this color combo!  

The fabrics on the table were just a half yard of fabric each from Walmart. $7.98 for both pieces. My son helped me pick these out on a recent mother-son shopping trip we took! He has a great eye!

Here's a "plate breakdown" for you.   The turquoise charger is from Michaels.  They had a sale on them recently so I picked a few up in numerous colors for about $1.50 each. 

On top of that is a "French White" Corningware plate.  I got this plate years ago, but I believe they're still available at Walmart and online.   

On top of that is a pretty orange/coral color melamine plate from Target.  I got these just a few weeks ago, so they still may have some available.  I loved the scalloped edges of this plate. 

On top of  that is a royal blue plate that I got at the thrift store for $1 each.  Gotta love those dollar plates!!!  I had some of this color blue in each of the fabrics so I thought I'd throw it in there to give it just a little more pop of color.

On top of the royal blue plate are two of my white workhorse plates..making their appearance yet again.  The Gibson Dollar plate from Goodwill, and a Gibson saucer from Goodwill (50 cents each)

 
Then, on top of the saucer is our ivory napkin with a turquoise rhinestone napkin ring (Ebay).  I was wanting to tone this table down just a little from some of my more elaborate previous tables, but I still wanted to have a LITTLE bling! haha!

The centerpiece is a Gibson pitcher I found at our church's local thrift store for just $5.50.   It is sitting on top of a french white Corningware Casserole dish, for a little height.  (I know, I wasn't sure how else to prop it up, and this seemed like it would work...haha!) 

The pitcher is holding a bouquet of orange and ivory flowers from the dollar store.  I also put some turquoise sparke icicle ornaments in there to give it a pop of turquoise color and sparkle.  I thought this turned out pretty neat!  

The large glass candleholders are housing some turquoise glass rounds from the dollar store and orange/coral candles from Big Lots.

At the buffet, I put another small table runner, which is actually a 1/2 yard of fabric from Joanne's....this one was $2.99 a yard so this runner was just $1.50!  Love that!

Some orange pompons, some orange candles (Homegoods on clearance) and my new cloche with an ivory candle and some mandarin oranges add that extra orange to offset the turquoise!

Hope you enjoyed today's Tablescape Tuesday!  Have a great week and come back soon!
