Welcome to my Early Spring Tablescape!
Since things have not really started turning green here - I am having a hard time going in that direction just yet. We are still in the grey stages up here in the north.
There seems to be a lot of nesting going on.
We are seeing the birds coming back and busying themselves with the important task of making new homes.
I am normally a very symmetrical person, so this table seems a bit wonky to me.
Not only did I offset the placemats, I also offset the plates to fit my napkin on the side.
It is hard enough for me to let the fact go, that I only have two utensils on the left and three on the right. This is like living dangerously for me!!
I just love these sort of woven wood nests, you should have seen me jump for joy when I saw that they weren't as expensive as I thought they were going to be, so I bit the bullet and bought one for each place setting.

Lovely tablescape. I really like the nests and the watering can napkins rings are adorable.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to live on the wild side and have a bit of asymmetry on your table because it all looks fantastic! I really like the offset placemat/plate look and how you laid everything out. Those nests are terrific! You have such a great collection of cloth napkins especially plaid ones! The colour palette for your table definitely captures the feeling of early spring.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest tablescape ever! I love the subdued colors, and you are killing me with those nests! I would love to have some of those. I had to chuckle about your comments on symmetry. I pretty much feel the same, offsetting a plate like that just would not do for me. But, we all do what we can where lovely tables are concerned.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty gray around here also and I've yet to see a robin. Your table however, is a beautiful and filled with inspiration. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, and I hope your week is going great.
ReplyDeleteIt is gray here too but I am trying to get the memo to Mother Nature to bring SPRING!!! Love those wooden nests! And the birdhouse and arrangement are beautiful. Such a pretty, cheery table!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the nesting theme and those are really cute nests! It’s very gray here too but I’m fighting it and going ahead with spring colors. I don’t think the birds are nesting here just yet but it all changes quickly!
ReplyDeleteLove your table and the use of blue and browns. It is gorgeous and I like your dishes slightly off center. Where did you find your nests?
ReplyDeleteI think your table perfectly captures the feel of being on the brink of spring. I love all the nests, especially the ones peeking out from the bird house. The flower arrangement (are they grape hyacinths?) adds the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteLove those nests - they are adorable! Jane
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this table. The nests and napkin rings are so unique, what great finds. The blue says spring is almost here!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table. Loving the placemats and napkins. The nest are darling. Definitely a sign of spring..Everyone is all ready for spring so this table is perfect. Wonderful plate stack as well. I am also a symmetrical person.
ReplyDeleteLovely! This color pallet is wonderful. One of my favorite Easter tables from years past was done in browns and greens. This makes me think of it and want to repeat it again.
