“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”
Psalms 27:14
Hello sweet friends, I hope you’re all having a wonderful day! It’s Tuesday and you know what that means here at Everyday Living…a tablescape! Today, you’ll be seeing something that’s not new to my house, but they’ve never made their appearance on a Tablescape Tuesday…until now! I think we grow accustomed to the things in our home…pictures, books and “knick-knacks” that have their little spot. We don’t really pay much attention to them because they’re just in their normal spot! Do you ever have a moment when you look at something and think “wow, how have I missed this?” Last week I was contemplating what I would bring to the table today (no pun intended!), and how I could make it look a little different. As I was walking through my family room as I do numerous times a day, I happened to notice plates that have been on the wall forever…and it hit me…I had never used them in a tablesetting! I was so excited, you would’ve thought I had discovered something new. So, off the wall they came, and onto the table they went…after a good sudsy wash of course! It never occurred to me until now to use these beautiful plates, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

I think of this setting as a little casual…a little elegant!
Floral placemats add pattern to a table set for four.
Rattan chargers add texture and a casual feel to the table.
Ranunculus and Chinese snowball lime-green buds fill three ice cream sundae glasses and serve as the centerpiece.
I added a pair of crystal candle stands to complete the centerpiece.
The pretty pink and green salad plates were the inspiration.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver”
Proverbs 25:11
The multiple layers of the delicate and crepe paper thin petals of the ranunculus are so beautiful.
In case you haven’t noticed, I seem to be loving pink and green for spring-time!
What about you…are there things in your home that you see on a day to day basis, that you never think to use in a different way?

Thanks so much, Veronica!
Pretty! Pink and green is the ultimate color choice for spring!
Thanks so much, Rita…have a beautiful Tuesday!
This is my favorite of all your table settings. From the table with only the candle sticks and flower arrangements, love, to the pink and green salad plates. Where did you find the salad plates? They are lovely.
Alice, thanks so very much, I found these at a local shop at least fifteen years ago. The shop is now closed…I have never seen these anywhere else!
I’m so glad you “found” those beautiful plates on your wall. What a gorgeous table setting they make! Love the flowers, too. ?
Thanks so much, Kim…Happy Tuesday!
Simply gorgeous Pam, the plates are beautiful! I think the ice cream sundae vases are my favorite part, so simple yet they make such a statement! I’m off to “shop” my house!
Jenna
Thanks, Jenna…it is amazing what I find in my own house!
Beautiful, Pam. Interesting that I used Tara’s Waterford Iced Tea glasses this past weekend as vases to hold roses for her dining room table decorated for Mary Grace’s party. I used silver cups for roses on her kitchen island which served as her buffet table. Both settings were beautiful.
I saw the beautiful arrangements for Mary Grace!
Pam, pink and green is one of my favorite color combinations. Your table is beautiful with the pretty plates and sweet, delicate flowers. This table setting is the perfect nod to Spring. I hope you have a beautiful day, sweet friend!!!
Thanks so much, Shannon…I do love pink and green! Happy Tuesday!
Hi Pam! I just found your blog from seeing you on Kim Hood’s page. Your dining room looks gorgeous. I’ve been looking at some of your beautiful earlier posts, and I’m signing up for your posts. Always happy to find someone willing to share her Faith…and love for all things Charles Faudree!
Roxanne, thanks to our sweet friend Kim, you found me. My faith is the reason for the blog and I am excited to have you join in the journey. Wishing you a joy-filled week and once again I welcome you!!
You have captured the elegance of spring.
Linda, you are too sweet, thanks so much!
So pretty! And I love shopping my house – it’s like new things for free!
Yes, yes, yes Julia! Thanks so much !
Oh, so elegant, Pam. I LOVE those dishes and your floral display is so colorful and elegant. You’ve created such a pretty space. Thanks for sharing! Rosie
Thanks so much, sweet Rosie! Have a wonderful week!
Lovely! You always have beautiful tables.
I like to use different things as well for my table. A garden/outside statue for spring, a birdcage for a butterfly/aviary theme, a wooden toy boat for a nautical/beach theme. I’ve got some decorative fishing net I’m going to drape down the center of the table, along with a fishing creel, and my trout napkin rings, to create a fishing table for Dh!
Imagination is the limit, I say!
Glad you “found” your camellia plates. Each one looks like it has a different camellia. The gilding is stunning. I am crazy for ranunculus and the chinese snowball buds look great with them in the ice cream sundae glasses.
Pam, love the colors and love this tablescape. Girlfriend, you need to be writing a book with your pictures. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Cindy, you are too kind, my friend! Blessings~
Pam, I am loving your pretty pink and green tablescape. Looks like Spring to me, which is refreshing. Love the ice cream glass with the beautiful flowers. Thye plates are so special. Truly a beautiful table to enjoy.
Thanks so much, Linda. Wishing you a beautiful weekend ahead!
I think pink and green says Spring. The tablesetting is so fresh looking and pretty.
Thanks so much, Debra and for stopping by for a visit!
I do not tablescape but it is always so much fun to view the ones that do : ) Just lovely : )
Aw, thanks so much Deb!
I love simple elegant. This is just gorgeous with the pink and green combo. The centerpieces are beautiful, you certainly hit it out of the park.
Thanks so much, Judy…wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
What a beautiful table!! I love the vibrant pink and green of the gorgeous flowers and they compliment your plates so well. Very pretty!
Thanks so much, Ann!
Hello Pam . Your creative ideas never cease to amaze me . The simplicity of the ice cream sundae glasses adorned with pink and green ( I love how you used 3 ) , the crystal candlesticks and the gorgeous china all together for Spring ! I will be shopping again to mimic your tablescape . How could I not have pink napkins in my stash ??? And I do not have any pink and green china . Consignment/Antique shops – here I come !
Hello to a Spring meal outside on the patio -soon , I hope ! I will patiently wait for the snow to melt and warm Spring days to arrive . While waiting , my dining table inside will welcome Spring with pink and green .
Thinking ahead to Summer . .. remember to use the same color combination of gorgeous geraniums and impatience- pink , of course !
Thank you for bringing color into our lives ! Love , love your blog !
Christine, thanks for all your kind and encouraging words. They are so dear to me! I would love for you to email me some of your tablescapes, I know they are beautiful. I am participating in a spring Tablescape blog hop next week and had planned to do it outside and it has turned off so cold, it will have to be indoors. I appreciate you so much for following my little blog! Blessings and hugs, Pam
It’s so very elegant. I don’t see how you do it, week after week! The colors are wonderful — I love the pink with the green. Call me a preppie but it’s a favorite combo especially for spring. Just splendid!
Jeanie, you are so sweet, I have always been a little preppy!
The pink flower is my favorite, because I LOVE pink, but the pop of vivid green caught my eye as well. I just bought a bouquet of small green mums from Publix, and they are so fresh looking and spring-y. I love this table and wish I had every single dish, flower and candle! So happy looking!
Thanks so much, Leslie Anne, how sweet!
The simplicity of this table allows me to take notice of every beautiful elegant detail. I especially like your flowers in the sundae glasses. There’s always a secondary use for things!
Thanks Linda…I always like to repurpose!
Simplicity and elegance are always a great combination!
Thanks so much, Sandra!
Pretty plates from your walls to your table Pam! I’m wild about the pretty pink Ranunculus and the Chinese snowball buds paired together. I’m afraid our snowball bush was zapped by our late cold snap just as I was prepared for a bumper crop of blooms this year.
Mary, I am unsure whether my snowball bushes will bloom like they did last year or not. We have had two nights this week in the twenties and one in the teens. The frost definitely got my Lady Banks Roses. Have a wonderful weekend!
How elegant and beautiful and yet so simple; as usual too. I love the salad plates and pretty and clever how you turned ice-cream glasses into flower bases… I love it ! I will pin this inspiring tablescape. Thanks for sharing.
FABBY
Thanks so much, Fabby! You are a sweet encourager!
Pam, those salad plates are gorgeous and so perfect for spring! Ranunculus are my most favorite spring flower! I wish they grew here. Still, I have to enjoy some in pots. I love the simplicity of the sundae glasses! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks so much, Jann!
The pink with the green is beautiful Pam! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Thanks so much, Sherry! Blessings ~
I can see why those plates were on your wall, they are gorgeous! They are of my favorite color combo pink and green. The parfait glass for vases is genius and the bouquets are spectacular, I love this setting!
Hi Pam, just hopping by to let you know that you will be featured at SYC this week.
hugs,
Jann
Excited, thanks Jann!
Beautiful as always! Such a pretty combination, pink and green, especially for spring.
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!
Blessings,
Cindy
Thanks so much, Cindy!
Hi Pam,
Your tablescape is beautiful. The crystal glasses holding wee floral arrangements is elegant charm and the pretty green and pink patterned dishes are striking against the deep wood tones. Everything is gorgeous! I do the same thing as you by overlooking things that could be used in a variety of ways. It’s probably because we are so used to seeing the inside of our own walls and in a way become blind to our own decor. I love having a second set of eyes or my mom around to catch things I’ve overlooked. We both do the same thing to each other. Ha ha.
Today your post was featured on my features for Thursday Favorite Things. Just a note about the link party- Our scheduled time for going live is now at 7 a.m MST instead of Wednesday evenings.
Thank you for sharing with us. Your post is Pinned in our Thursday Favorite Things group board.
