Now girls I am not a fancy girl...I like to set a pretty holiday table...but really I have a DH that lives and eats in front of the TV...But if I were lucky to have a Bunch this is what I would use..
I love Blue and White dishes...the Salad plates in cobalt blue I got from the Dollar Tree also the wine glasses...The coffee mugs were Home Goods $2.95 flatware Wal-Mart $9.99 the Yellow chargers I got from Country Living the shop where I use to work $5.95 each.
The table cloth is an antique one its called Delft and it has 6 napkins with it which I didn't use and I got it at Second Sunday swap meet for $7.50 and it all linen..tell me I wasn't doing my Happy dance??
Now these plates I just got last month at Second Sunday...they are Royal Stafford shire Tonguin pattern I got four of these..now the gal wanted $10.00 but of course I talked her now to $5.00 and she even gave me the little bowl you see that the rolls are in..I think it was to just get rid of me lol!!
I love to fold my napkins this way as you can stand them up and put the flatware in them or just lay them on the plates...
Now I love this planter...some woman I just met at antique shop gave it to me as I told her I loved Blue and white...how sweet was that? and the price sure was right..The candle sticks are from a shop in Sutter Creek,Ca called Fine Eye they make the most beautiful china pieces there all hand made...I also have a set of dishes to match them..but that another Tuesday Table.. The pitcher is Roma from Italy also have the whole set of dishes in this pattern...Its the little blue bird darling!! now Len brought this home this last spring to me...was that not sweet??
Now you can see the bowl the ladies tossed in with the dishes...Oh and girls the fake rolls are also from Dollar Tree WHAT !!! you thought I baked... HELLO!!! now if I could get Len to eat fake Dinner...how great would that be??
This is just the cutest Lemon Candle and I put it in a nut dish...Candle also Dollar Tree..hey what can I say my oldest daughter is manager there and its the only time I get to see her so I shop there every week...its kills two birds with one stone, and No she doesn't give me a discount ha ha!!
Now be sure and check out all the tablescapes today...Now I won't be home today have to go to Reno,NV and take my baby daughter Dawna out to lunch for her very own BD...ps I am whispering now so she don't hear me...she will be 44..
Have a great day...Hugs and smiles Gloria

Morning, sweet Gloria. What a beautiful table. I know what you mean about the hubbies eating in front of the TV. I just can't seem to break Mr. Precious from that habit!!
Now your plates are so gorgeous and how you've mixed and matched is truly stunning. I love everything - your centerpiece with the lemons matching your yellow chargers and those cute little lemon candles!! Oh, I'm in heaven!
So lovely.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Your planter is off the charts gorgeous!! And how nice was that for the gal to give you that bowl...I need a refill please my cup is empty...hugs ~lynne~
That's a beautiful table, I think it says drama, I don't know why I think that, other than it looks so bold and rich.And so impressed you bought everything at different times in different stores, then put it together like that. You're good, girl.
Hugs,
Chris
Love the lemon slice detail on the goblets & I adore that little bird. Did he come w/ the basket in his beak or did you glue it to him?
Wow! You sure know how to find a deal! I am quite impressed. LOL, fake dinner.

So pretty. I LOVE the Dollar Tree. I go at least once a week. My hubby just sits in the car and rolls his eyes. Your blue and yellow is wonderful and I am so looking for those lemon candles!
I love the blue dishes! Some day I'll have such pretty dishes when life settles down! I also really like that lemon candle. Don't feel bad, my husband generally eats in the bedroom watching TV! I hate that habit but it's just how it is for him. Men and their toys!
I just adore all of your beautiful blue and white. Your yellow accents were just the perfect touch for this charming table, move over girls I'm coming for coffee too. Love ya Gloria, Cindy

Gloria, fake rolls!!! You are too funny! Girl your brunch table looks so beautiful and I'm loving the blue plates for 5.00! I want to start collecting blue transferware but I'm afraid I have no more room at the INN!! LOL! I'm not a fancy tablesetter, I'm usually to stressed out cooking that the table and how it looks does not enter my mind! I sure hope we get invited out for Thanksgiving this year! Have a great day sweet friend of mine! xoxoxo
Oh, blue and white...I love this table setting and how you've accessorized it.
Oooohhhhhh Gloria! It's just sooo pretty!! Classic blue! I wouldn't expect anything else from you my dear *winks* And please tell Dawna HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me K? And I can tell you I'm going to be checking out the Dollar Tree!!Wow! Vanna
I love the blue dinnerware and the yellow together. It's a love combination. Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us!
Miss Janice
Beautiful table - I love the tonquin pattern. I have some tonquin dishes in brown and white. Have a good time with your birthday girl. My baby girl turns 36 this week. That doesn't mean we're getting old, does it??? Sally
Gloria, your tablescape is beautiful! I love blue & yellow. You have the best luck finding amazing bargains! BTW, I can't pry my hubby away from the TV to eat either.... :0} Diane
Gloria...this is beautiful! Girl, you sure know how to drive a hard bargain! :-) You crack me up about getting Len to eat a fake dinner! LOL Don't think he'll go for that, huh? I love blue and white so you know I love this tablescape! The cobalt blue glasses are wonderful, too! Thanks for posting this great tablescape! Susan
I'm in PAIN this tablesetting is so pretty!! Loooooove that cobalt blue!
Happy Birthday Dawna! :-)
Oh Gloria...you hit the nail on the head today...blue, white & yellow...perfect combo! I loved that centerpiece...everything looks so pretty...fab job!
;-) Bo
I love your blue and white table. Very pretty!
Your table is lovely, I have a couple sets of blue and white, they fit in with most occasions, great job.
Love your tablescape, Gloria. I love how you mixed the yellow. It made the blue dishes pop. I also like the candle holders very much and that lemon candle is just so cute! And how sweet of Len to get you that pretty bird....Christine
I am just loving this tablescape. Blues mixed with yellows are just my favorite and you have done such a beautiful job with it. I cannot believe you got those 4 plates for $5! What a deal. They are beautiful. Love the way the yellow lemons pick up on the yellow plates. It's just beautiful! laurie
Very pretty!
The base of the candle holders is most unusual and very attractive. I know that lemons are used to brighten the taste of food and the lemons on your table certainly brighten your tablescape. Even your flatware handles carry through the blue of the dishes.
Hey girl! Just wanted to stop by and say hi, really enjoyed your table settings and the fall arrangment with the cloche. Between you and Lynne with those cloches I have come a way with some new ideas. Thanks bunches. Have a great day! Sasha
Good morning Happy! I LOVE your creative new tablescape. Is there any place more fun to shop than Dollar Tree???? I can always find something so different and at a dollar, you can't beat the price. I have the pirogue on my table full of their fall ceramic pumpkins, and now I have bought all their Santa head ornaments to use instead of bows on my primitive looking Christmas paper. I also like the large Christmas light ornaments and the wine bottle "socks", I am using them to hold gift cards and candy with the light bulbs as the gift tag. "Talk" soon, hope your day is as special as you are!
Gloria~ This is truly beautiful and such wonderful bargains. I must find a Dollar Tree I know I've seen one somewhere...lol. :) The bluebird from Len is a wonderful addition. ( I just love birds ) I sure wish I knew how to set a pretty table. I can never seem to get it just right. Please teach us how to fold those napkins, I love it. Hope you had a fun day with your daughter.
Hugs~ J.
I LOVE blue and white and the splash of yellow...just divine!
Hi Gloria! Well, you're going to just have to punch that hubby in the stomach and get him moving! lol
I was blessed with this wainscoting so hanging the pictures wasn't hard - just measured from it the same distance up the wall on all of them and it worked!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hey a cutie... how was lunch? I know you had a "wonderful" visit..did you bring home any goodies you care to share? I've been busy hitting it like a "mad" woman around here the past couple of days.. oh how I've missed being at home..lol..next on the list is the ironing..so I'm off to mark that off the list...hugs ~lynne~
