Here we are at another Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch.
I am always informal. We are having a meal in the dining room just off the garden. Where we can peer out at the construction going on with the deck that will wrap around all six of these doors. Upturned chairs and mounds of dirt and lots of wood and carpenter’s tools. That’s what you see outside my doors at the moment!
Some of you have seen the green pitcher and hand-painted glasses, as I showed them off just after purchasing them from an antique store last weekend. All four glasses were $11. The pitcher was $12. I am certainly not a painter, so I appreciate the work that must have gone into these glasses.
These plates simply say Coventry. I bought them a few years back at Ross. They were quite cheap, and I just found them pretty. I especially like the blue swirling pattern inside of the bowls.
The tablecloth is one I picked up in Abilene, Texas about five years ago. I love the different shades of blue. Can you tell I like blue?
The red plates are from Dillards, and they are our “every day” dinnerware. We have them in both red and navy.
I am quite surprised that I have so much fun putting these simple table settings together. I had no idea I would like it so much. And I’m learning so much from you more experienced bloggers! So I thank Susan for allowing me to participate. Please go to see all the others who have made their masterpieces available for you. (And many of them are truly masterpieces!)
It’s such a happy tablescape! Love the vibrant colors! i’ve been wanting to try my hand at being more creative in my tablescapes and now you’ve motivated me!

I love those dishes!! It’s gorgeous Brenda.
I’ve only done TT once. You are inspiring me.
I like the way you balance the blue with the red and yellow. It looks very festive yet, not over-done!
This is a happy table! I’m like you – learned so much for the other tablescapers. Great job!
How fun it would be to sit at this table…I love it!

Being a lover of vintage tablecloths…this one is the BOMB!
Love the colors..so bright and cheery! LOVE IT!
You have definitely gotten the hang of this tablescape stuff- like a pro! Beautiful! I love the cloth. And the dishes are fabulous too.
Brenda, I didn’t know you had this blog…how fun! I love your tablescape. I love red and I have started really loving red and blue together lately.
Hugs,
Penny
Great dishes! I love the hand painting. You did a fabulous job. Sitting at this table, who cares what they are doing outside!
That is so totally cheery! How neat! I need to participate in tablescape Thursday sometime! xorachel
Oh my gosh, I love every detail! BEAUTIIIFUL!
It’s a pretty table setting but I love the tablecloth the most. Somehow I’ve missed your last few blogs. I like your little sewing closet.
The plant in my butterfly photo is actually a chive plant. This year I have another one growing right beside it.

Hey Brenda, I came back over to thank you for the comment! You can’t find the Gibson dishes? They’ve gotta have them…it’s a HUGE 46 piece dinnerware set called “Claremont”…I probably would have never noticed them had they had not been shown in blogland! Go take a second look!;)
Michelle
No wonder you had so much fun setting this table…you are very good at it. It is all so appealing from the bright, vivid, happy colors to the dishes and fun glasses.
Oh! I enjoyed seeing your tablescape so much. I hope you’ll participate again next week!:)
My dishes are NOT Fiestaware. They are cheapies from the grocery store, marked down to $1 after Easter. I sure wish I had picked up a few more and now they are long gone.
Hi Brenda! I adore these bright, cheerful colors ~ you’ve done such a great job, not only at this weeks table but throughout your home. It just lifts my spirits to see your creativity. Thank you for sharing! xo~m.
Love the red and blue! The dishes are so pretty with the glasses! I love to sit at this wonderful setting! I love your tablecloth on your yard furniture!
