“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 7:12
Happy Tuesday lovely friends! I hope your week is off to a great start. I am excited about an upcoming get-away that I am sure you will read about in the very near future!
We have had rain everyday for the past ten days…I thought we were going to float away! Major gloomy and gray skies have characterized our days here in the Appalachian Foothills. This week’s tablescape had me drawing a blank…I had zero ideas! Normally a trip to the grocery store for flowers would’ve sparked some inspiration, but when I went this week, it proved futile. There were leftover Valentine’s Day flowers, and they just didn’t reach out and grab me…so I came home empty handed! It was Saturday and still no inspiration…what’s a girl to do? But, around noon the sky turned blue with gorgeous sunshine. I started pulling out linens and dishware and then I had an idea…Granny Smith apples to the rescue!
I would love for you to follow me on:

When the light came on in my head, everything fell into place!
Pairing blue and green is always a favorite!
Granny Smith apples fill a soup tureen.
Dinner plates from Tuesday Morning, salad and dessert plates from TJ Maxx, and twig flatware from Pier 1 rest on striped placemats! Shh, don’t tell anyone…salad and dessert plates are melamine!
Silver napkin rings hold a perfect shade of blue napkins!

The swirl glasses were a find a few years ago at Tuesday Morning.
I just happened to have the apple green candles on hand!

Love the colorful post but the white tureen caught my eye!Gorgeous!Hugs!
Thank you Maristella! Hugs~
Bright and cheerful, love it! I find inspiration in days of the year. Example: This Friday is Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day, and I have it all planned out. Lemonade Day, Frog Jumping Day, Quilting Day, ect, are some of the fun days you can use for ideas. My calendar is full!
Thank you Tammy, inspiration can come from anywhere!
Such a fresh and bright pairing of green and blue for this in-between time of year Pam! Your melamine looks like hand painted ceramic or stoneware and I love the pretty swirl glasses! I’ve seen some great looking melamine making an appearance on the shelves at HomeGoods and Pottery Barn…so patio and poolside friendly for summer entertaining. 🙂
Thank you Mary, melamine is wonderful for picnics and patio!
Blue and green is always fresh and pretty. Love the green apples!
Thank you Stacey!
Very pretty. I like the color combination. But, that tureen! FAB. U. LOUS!!! Can you tell us more about it, please?
Hi Marie, the tureen is by American Atelier in the “Baroque” pattern. Horchow did carry it, but that has been a few years ago.
Now I just love this look. Casual, preppy and sunny…the only missing was the sun! THat would be a great outdoor table too. Those glasses catch my attention each time you use them. I really like those.
Have fun on your getaway, Pam! Our anniversary is coming up, and we were just talking yesterday about where we might go…..:)
Rita, you will have to let us know where you decide to go!
I love blue and green together, and your table looks so happy and cheerful! Your ironstone tureen filled with green apples makes such a beautiful centerpiece. Everything looks so pretty! Happy Monday!
Thank you sweet friend! I hope you are doing well!
I agree Pam, you can’t beat blue and green and your table is so bright and fresh! I am not complaining about the rain this month, it’s much better than snow! Your apple centerpiece is so simple yet so elegant, this is really a lovely inviting table! You are teasing us, where are you going??
Jenna
Thanks Jenna! We are going away for a few days to celebrate our 45th anniversary!
oh how nice! Congratulations!
OK I’m still asleep, I meant Happy Anniversary!
Thank you Jenna!
Nothing like the vibrancy of of Granny Smith green to inspire and bring excitement to the table! I understand that lack of inspiration when it comes to this weird dead space between the holidays and Spring. Sure, there are those single day special occasions, but nothing so compelling that ideas run amok. I totally get you, girl! Yes, ma’am…you gotta dig deep! You pegged the solution, though, by looking around you for innovation. Way to go! I really like the pattern in those Pier 1 plates, too!
Alycia, it is hard during these in between seasons. I hope you are recovering each and every day!
Love the granny Smith Apple centerpiece. I think your pretty tablescape looks so inviting and refreshing and after that many days of rain I am sure you needed some refreshment. I am still enjoying my Valentine table. LOL! I love the colors you have pulled together. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
You are the sweetest Cindy…Hugs~
I so enjoy your tablescapes and scriptures. Your spirit is so precious. Thank you for always encouraging us. ❤️
Kim, thank you for your sweet and encouraging words!
Beautiful, Pam! Looks so bright and cheery. I love blue and green together, too.
Thank you dear Robyn!
I would name this elegant spring table. It looks springy but not too springy — just right for this time of year. It’s raining here, too. I just did major flood mopping in the basement and check on it every 20 minutes to make sure I don’t need to begin again. Hope you are luckier!
Oh I am so sorry about your basement, Jeanie!
Lovely spring table, Pam. I have always been a huge fan of blue and green. There is just something about it that makes my heart happy. Your tureen is gorgeous and is so pretty filled with the green apples.
Today, here in the mountains, we are enjoying a sunny 70 plus degree day. A welcome treat after so much rain. Enjoy your trip and I hope you see blue skies and come home to sunshine!
Thank you Sandra. We had record breaking temps here yesterday!
Isn’t it amazing what can inspire a table? Here we’ve had lots of gray skies, a sharp contrast to the lovely season we had last year. I’m definitely ready for more than a sprinkling of sun.
I just never know where the inspiration will come from!
Beautiful as always and I love using blues and the pop of lime green just makes it pop.
Carolyn
Thank you dearest Carolyn!
Love this blue and green together. These are very happy colors together. I also liked your choice of place mats, flat wear and glasses. It all works so well..perfect for this time of year. I, too, am going on a little trip. Bob and I have an anniversary on Saturday. I think I remember your anniversary is this month also. Enjoy your trip.
Thank you sweet friend! Happy anniversary and have a wonderful trip!
Love this color combo. Green apples have always been a favorite of mine. Have a wonderful getaway!!
Thank you Katie!
So fresh and inviting. Your tureen is an eye catcher for sure. So beautiful! Those glasses always look wonderful in every tablescape. Granny Smith apples were a perfect start to your table and having the apple green candles was perfect.
It’s been rainy and cold in Texas and now it is rainy and warm. We haven’t seen the sun the entire time we have been in Dallas and I think it is supposed to continue. But we are with family and it doesn’t matter. I think it is pretty warm in south Alabama.
Have fun on your trip.
Thank you Bonnie. It is very warm here with clouds and gray skies. Enjoy your trip!
I love how fresh lively and happy the green apples do for this beautiful table.
I love to do apples too. I have green as well as red in the past.
I specially love the tureen as centerpiece and those stripe glasses.
Fabby
Thank you so much Fabby! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Pam, I love this shade of green with blue! The granny smith apples definitely were a great inspiration.
Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thank you dearest Jann!
The blue and green play off each other nicely and always look fresh.
Thank you Barbara!
Beautiful inspiration Pam. Love that you used what you had. It all came together beautifully. Your upcoming trip will give you a lovely break. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much sweet Linda!
