A Pretty Pink and Yellow Spring Table

Hi everyone!

We actually had some of that rare golden shimmer liquid shining into our home the other day. Yes, the sun appeared for a brief time so, I of course, had to get a pretty table set to pay homage to this wonderful event!

I am using my newly painted pink chargers and the pink napkin rings I made. You can read about all that on this post. I have been so excited to show you some new to me dishes that I thrifted last month. I am so in love with them. And they aren’t even blue! LOL

Aren’t these just so pretty! I just discovered from another blogger that these are vintage 1950’s.

HL PLATEsThe next set of thrifted dishes was this adorable yellow and white  daisy set. Also another vintage set. I do love my vintage dishes!

catsYou will see some other pieces used in this tablescape.

pink and yellow table 018I know I don’t have to say it but, I am going to  anyway. Everything on this table was thrifted. (except my wedding silverware). The yellow Michael’s birds were 50% off when I bought them.

pink and yellow table 019 I only have two of these sweet little dishes. I have used them so many times for butter pats. I love to find little dishes like this for that reason. They just add a pretty little “extra”.

It took about 4 over night soaks in hot water and CLR to get them this clear. You can still see a little of the cloudiness at the base.

Well, that was my pretty pink and yellow Spring table. I hope you enjoyed it! That night for dinner, I asked the princess which plates she wanted to eat dinner with, pink or yellow. She chose yellow so, this was our dinner table. Not much of the tablescape left on the dinner table.

  17. I think we were thinking the same thoughts when we set our tables. This is beautiful. I'm also still loving that trio of napkins AND those napkin rings. You are so clever. Love all of your thrifted china, and I spotted a pretty glass platter with flowers painted on it that I heart too. laurie
