Spring, Wherefore Art Thou?

Waiting for spring is really trying my patience.  I am tired of the cold.  I'm sure everyone else is tired of the cold.  If spring doesn't arrive soon, I am going to scream.  Loud.  So I pulled out some spring flowers, dishes with happy colors, and put together a little simple table for four--dreaming that soon flowers will be blooming and the sun's warmth will bring the world alive again.
Using materials I found in my stash, I put together three spring florals.
I pulled a spring runner from the closet and used greenery down the center.
A nest of eggs is the focal point in each arrangement.
White tapers fill in the spots between each of the florals.
A dainty porcelain napkin ring holds each sage green dinner napkin.
Candleholders are vintage with a delicate silver overlay.
Dishes are sage green and  pink.  I believe they came from HomeGoods or TJ Maxx.
Silver flatware is simple as well, nothing too fancy here.
The fleur-de-lis glasses match the pink plates, and the pattern on the stems reminds me of dogwood.
The runner has a basket of spring flowers at each end, you've probably seen these in the stores.
Bird's eye view!!
At least it's a sunny day, even though you can't hardly open the door because of the frigid temperatures.  This does not feel a bit like Virginia weather.
I think this has cheered me up a bit.  Stay warm, my friends, and let's hope spring arrives soon!!

Thanks for visiting!

  1. Your table setting is stunning and yes, it screams SPRING COME PLEASE!!!
    The centerpiece is gorgeous and puts the note for spring like nothing else. The dishes with the little pop of pink makes it perfect!
    I live in a spring kind of weather and it tires me out! I just go along with the USA's weather for my tablescape, but really, I am a Newyorker and I do love the four seasons change. I guess like the Rolling Stone's song goes: 'you can't always get what you want!'

    1. You are so right! I do enjoy the four seasons, and curling up by the fire on a wintry night is great--to a point lol! I sometimes go stir crazy in this weather! Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your kind comments!!

  2. Beautiful spring table, Betsy. The floral centerpiece is so wonderfully lush, green and spring-y! Love the pink and green plates, especially the pink one.
    I, too, want to scream loud so Mother Nature hears that we have had enough winter...we haven't even come close to what the eastern states have experienced this winter.
    Enjoy the week!

  5. I'm with you about winter! Love the beauty of your table- the greenery down the center with the candles is so pretty! The coloring of the dishes and the nest with eggs speak spring! You'll see spring a lot sooner than we will- ugh!

  6. For those of you who are experiencing such hard winter I know spring can't get here any too soon. You've certainly introduced the feeling of the season with your table. I especially like the way you have used all the greenery.
