1st Spring Table

10 years ago

I'm finally sharing my new Fitz & Floyd Toulouse tureen and some dishes I received for gifts
last year from my family. Was planning to buy the matching dinnerware until I priced it!Yikes
Will wait for awhile and hopefully find it cheaper.

The brown plates w/blk stripe are new and made by Beekman Home. The small are Eliza Teal
by 222 Fifth. Pretty sure I've shared the other two tan plates before.

I'm a little sentimental with the postal stamp on it. My DM retired from the postal service after
30+ years. I love everything with a postal stamp. Keep thinking I'll blow up an old post card
and frame it but that hasn't happend!

This ones for you, Candy! Hope all of you are feeling the prayers coming your way.

Since I've started some Easter decorating and had some blue grass, I added it to the rose vases
for more color. The faux apples were added for color too.

So happy spring is finally here! Even tho we woke up to snow this morning!
It's melting pretty fast.

Thanks for looking and hope this helps brighten your day.

    Thanks Jeanne for all the sweet comments. We had to
    run to town yesterday and when we came home it was
    fun to see the new setting. I love change but seem to
    be slacking on redecorating this year.sigh

    I have alot of my Easter out but need to go find the rest
    including eggs and nests! I've seen them out in the shed
    through the year and should of taken the time to bring
    them to the garage.LOL

    I plan on filling our lg eggs with water and getting them put
    out in the yard. It's been a few years since I hung eggs in
    the tree too. Hoping it'll stay nice and give me the incentive
    to make it all happen! Will share pictures if I do.

    Hope your feeling better. Keep us in the loop cuz you know
    we care. Sending hugs and prayers daily df!

    Punk this truly is a lovely table.
    I love the F&F tureen (and the postage stamp) the other pieces you chose compliment it perfectly.
    Turquoise blue [as it appears on my monitor] and brown are a wonderful combination, and the green apples are just the right touch for more color. I may have to borrow those Eliza Teal plates.
    The Candy shot is wonderful. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Jeanne I am always happy to see you posting you area courageous woman. I think of you daily.
    Punk thank you for sharing your Spring table. It makes me smile. The calender may say Spring, but mother Nature is not ready to let go of winter.
    It has been unseasonably cold here with more snow expected today.
    Have a good day.

    Just lovely Punk..!.
    The table setting you put together goes perfectly with your Beautiful
    Tureen (love the sentiment behind the postage stamp).
    I like the color combination you chose in your accessories and the added touch of Green (Apple) on each plate.
    Seeing this gives us hope that Spring is right around the corner....but
    needs to hurry the heck Up!! Lol

    Oh my goodness Punk....that is the prettiest soup tureen I've ever seen! LOVE it! Such wonderful colors and the bird on top just makes it lovely. Such a pretty table. Love the plates, etc. too.

    Nana, glad this table made you smile! The Eliza Teal
    plates would be perfect with all your peacocks.hmmm
    It was fun to finally move forward and add some spring
    around the house.
    Hope your weather (and everyone eles) changes soon
    and gives us a nice warm spring to enjoy. We got a little
    snow last weekend but it melted right away. It's been in
    the 40's here with a few showers.

    Jane, I keep telling myself if it warms up a little more I
    will try to go for a walk every night after work. Wish DH
    didn't have RA and could walk w/me.

    Have you seen the furniture painted like the front of a
    letter? I just love it. If I had extra room I would have
    one of those pieces just for fun sitting around. Maybe
    I should consider getting rid of one of my china cabs
    and I'd have a place!LOL

    Marlene, "that is the prettiest soup tureen I've ever seen"
    this was my thoughts too when I opened it!WOW DD has
    such good taste but doesn't seem to care about dishes for
    herself.sigh

    Thanks ladies for all the sweet comments. I will need this
    to get me through the day. Have a funeral service to attend
    today that is going to be tough one to handle.
