“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Romans 15:13
Happy Tuesday, sweet friends! You may remember me saying that we had an early start to spring here in the Appalachian Foothills, but the next thing we knew, the temps plummeted from mid 70’s to the teens! I wasn’t sure if the cold snap and frosty mornings would allow much color this season, but I think we are in full swing with spring! You may wonder why I sound so confident? One word: POLLEN. The pesky yellow stuff is blanketing any and everything, but this asthma and allergy sufferer will survive and I will enjoy this beautiful time of year! With our garden just now waking up from its winter sleep, there’s not much blooming, but Trader Joe’s always has plenty of flowers to choose from! Last week, I brought home a bouquet of tulips and added a few blooms from our snowball bush to bring you this week’s tablescape. Pull up a seat and enjoy the bouquets of spring!

I started with an ironstone pitcher holding a bouquet of tulips…
…and added individual bouquets of snowball buds at each of the place settings!
You’ve seen my peridot, amethyst, and citrine colored stemware from Tuesday Morning on many of my tables!

I love using what I’ve had for years! Bordallo Pinheiro salad plates are sandwiched between American Atelier dinner plate and cup in the “Baroque” pattern!
The sweet bunny was made by Mother long ago…so very special to me!
A burlap runner provides texture for the setting!
A green and white polka dot platter holds the tulips, sweet rabbit, and a tiny bird nest!
Whimsy is provided by a pair of tole flower stands.
Aren’t these seed balls interesting? I love what they bring to the table!
My sweet hubby was telling me about the tiny nest he had discovered in one of our patio peach trees that survived from last spring. I’m always looking for new things for tablescapes, so I brought it in and let it be a part of this week’s Tablescape Tuesday with a faux egg. Notice it’s under a cloche so the little rabbit couldn’t get to it!
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver”
Proverbs 25:11

I love the softness of your table, Pam. The tulips are the perfect focal point. The snowball bush seed heads are a nice repeat for the seed balls – love how you featured them in a cup and saucer. It’s all perfectly lovely! Happy Tuesday, my friend!
Kim, I am so happy that our snowball bushes are loaded with blooms, I thought certainly three frosts two weeks ago would damage the blooms! Happy Tuesday, sweet friend!
This is fabulous, Pam. Like you, I love using my old favorites. The hydrangeas in the cups are so lovely and those tulips rock! As always, I bow down to you~!
Jeanie, you are too kind, sweet lady! Spring is bursting out in the South!
Another creative and beautiful table! I marvel how you continually have a new tablescape every week. Love the snowball in the cups and the pretty tulips in your ironstone pitcher.
Bonnie, I sometimes wonder if I can keep it up, but I do enjoy the process! We are going to Chez Fonfon today!
What a beautiful tablescape! The ironstone pitcher with the tulips is just gorgeous. I was at Trader Joe’s this weekend buying flowers for my house. They have the best prices and selection. I love the tole flower stands. What a lovely accent on your pretty table. The snowball bush blooms are the perfect finishing touch to your place settings. Everything looks so pretty! Enjoy your Tuesday, sweet friend!
Thanks so much, Shannon! Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday!
Another masterpiece!!!….oh what you we do without Trader Joe’s!….One thing I do not like about Spring is the pollen…but will deal with it as it is so necessary for flower/plant life…so we deal with the yellow stuff and then find great beauty in the aftermath of it!
Thanks so much, Shirley. We had lots of rain yesterday, so that will temporarily help with the pollen!
Happy Soring, Pam. As usual, your table is lovely!
Thanks so much, Alice! Are you seeing any signs of spring!
Wonderful elements combined to create a perfect table. You are good at that!
Thanks so much, Linda!
Pam, your tables are always so beautiful! I don’t know how you keep coming up with so many options! You are so gifted with creativity! I love this one too and the tulips are perfect!
You are so sweet, Pat …thanks so much!
Your table is so pretty! I especially like that bunny…he is a cute one!
Thanks so much, Julia!

Thanks sweet Cindy!
Very much enjoyed your tablescape. I have never seen tri-colored glasses – so unique and fun.
Thanks so much, have a wonderful Thursday!
This is such a gorgeous smile of spring Pam, the pitcher of floppy tulips is wonderful, and the blooming plate stacks are just perfect! The soft pinks and greens are so attractive, stunning!
Jenna
Thanks so much, Jenna! Happy weekend!
Oh it’s beautiful Pam! The pink and green are so striking together. Love those gorgeous tulips and such a clever use of the snowball blooms. I have that same polka dot platter. Just reminded me that I don’t have it out. 🙂 It was a thrift find and I love it! I love nests as well. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
I always love sharing at SYC, thanks so much Jann!
Pam, I love the little rabbit. His eyes are so adorable. The tulips in the pitcher does spring just right. Thanks for sharing. Sylvia D.
Thanks so much, Sylvia…blessings~
I love your table setting. The tulips along with the shades of green bring such a breath of spring to the tablescape. I love those seed balls! They are so unusual looking and add that spring green color to the table. Everything looks absolutely stunning.
Thanks so much, Carol…have a wonderful weekend!
This is so simple and beautiful. So nice, I really enjoy the green this time of year especially.
Thanks so much for your visit, Leanna! Happy Tuesday!
One of my favorite ones to date! I love your pitcher of tulips and the fact that that is a real next in that size so cool!! I have them all over my home, but they weren’t made by the birds. 🙂 Thank you for joining TADA! Thursdays
I will be saving that tiny nest…thanks Debbie!
You can never go wrong with tulips on the table and your snowballs are so pretty. Spring has sprung on your table and it is lovely!
Sandra, tulips make for a happy table!
