“Forever, O Lord, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.”
Psalms 119:89
Hello Sweet Friends! I hope your week is off to a good start. We had a busy weekend, but the weather was gorgeous, which was a nice change!
As I was contemplating this week’s Tablescape I realized that I hadn’t used one of my china patterns since last summer. It was time to bring it back out, a favorite old standby!
Early morning sunlight dances across the dining room walls.
The china pattern is Artesian Road by Tracy Porter, now discontinued but can still be found on the internet.
The peacock bowl is filled with moss and seed balls for a simple centerpiece!
The aqua stemware was a great find at Tuesday Morning several years ago. Always remember when you need a table runner to check out your scarves. They work beautifully!
I love the bamboo-style edge on the plates! The handmade wood napkin rings were found at an arts and crafts shop in Kentucky!
Water hyacinth placemats provide texture for the table.
A pair of Tracy Porter vases hold snowball buds. We are expecting a freeze later this week, could be bad news for our bushes!
“A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
Proverbs 25:11

So pretty! Love the dishes and peacock bowl! Never thought about using a scarf as a runner. Great idea!
Good morning, Karen! Thank you so much, scarves are great to use!
What a beautiful table! The colors of anything Tracy Porter always catch my eye. I love that peacock too. 🙂
Thanks dearest Stacey!
Very earthy and attractive, Pam. The natural elements – napkin rings, plate edges, moss & buds – and muted colors, play well together.
The high winds and cold temps have made my daffodils bow down in surrender. Hopefully any freezes won’t hurt your landscape.
Have a good week.
Thank you Rita. Everything has budded out here, the freezing temps could be disastrous!
Beautiful! The peacock bowl is so charming ?
Thank you Donna!
Very nice dishes. The peacocks both look embarrassed at having laid such big eggs!
Thanks, I guess they are embarrassed?
It looks so warm and inviting, Pam. I love those rusty tons with the blues. Formal but cozy. That peacock is a find!
Thank you Jeanie!
Lovely table. Your peacock bowl caught my eye immediately! Love the soft colors and how you used multiple textures to make a great tablescape. Every element works beautifully!
Thank you dear Bonnie!
The peacock bowl is stunning Pam, I don’t remember seeing it before…I am crazy about the soft color palette you’ve created here, and what a classic and timeless setting, perfect any time…simply gorgeous!!!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna!
Pam, I remember this gorgeous china. It looks lovely in your pretty dining room. The peacock bowl caught my attention first thing. It is stunning and makes such a wonderful statement on your table! Everything looks beautiful!!!
Thank you sweet friend!
Good morning Pam. Love your peacock centerpiece. The plates with bamboo trim are quite beautiful. You have added all the right elements to make it so very inviting. I just love seeing your needlepoint pillow in the chair near your table.
Thank you Dianne. Have a wonderful Tuesday sweet friend!
The china is lovely. That peacock bowl is striking and would look wonderful with my peacock plates. Love your idea of using a scarf.. I say anything goes to make a beautiful table.
Thank you Linda and I agree!
What a great tip about the scarves! My wheels are already turning. The peacock bowl is gorgeous. My neighbor has peacocks which cause me mixed emotions…They are gorgeous in my yard with their fans spread, but they also make a mess, tear up my container plants, and are LOUD!
I have never seen that pattern and I love it so much!Beutiful and unusual dishes.The centerpiece is gorgeous too.Can I say it is a whimsical tablescape as a very good thing?I searched about it but I am not sure.Surely,I love it!Hugs,Pam!
Your old standby is so beautiful Pam!…Thanks for the reminder of using scarves for a runner…a great idea..and have always loved that Tracey Porter pattern…so casually elegant! Hope your shrubs and plants do OK…it is so horrible when we have an early warm up and then a freeze…my hydrangeas have suffered in the past few years because of this….hopefully the frost covers will help….Have a great week Pam!
Thank you Shirley. We have a freeze warning for the next couple of days, we will see how it turns out! Happy Wednesday, Shirley!
As always, Pam – Gorgeous! Love the china pattern and your peacock bowl is wonderful. The colors are just so lovely together. The scarf/table runner adds such softness to the table. And surely with such a lovely table the menu must be fabulous!
Happy week to you and I hope you don’t see Mr. Winter again. He will be in our area tonight and is bringing snow with him.
Thank you dear Sandra! Stay warm and cozy with the forecasted snow!
Yes, as always, lovely, lovely! I love peacocks and their beautiful colors. Happy rest of your week!
Thank you Lea!
Pam, what a beautiful tablescape, as always. I have just been batch reading your posts. They all are so inspiring. I read of you anniversary and trip. That place was so beautiful. You and Butch have so many talents to share with each other and us…music, beautiful photography, your home, and your lives. Thanks for sharing, Betty
Betty, thank you for your gift of encouragement! Thank you for reading our blog, it is very special to connect with someone who lives in our city!
Gorgeous china, Pam. What a lovely table to welcome spring.

Thank you Amalia!
What a beautiful table and so original. I feel it like a winter that is leaving and a spring that wants to enter … The elements are beautiful, I could not say what I would have left … everything is in its place, beauty is really in the set you have created.

Dolores, gracias querido amigo. Nuestro agradable clima cálido desapareció y ahora hace mucho frío para marzo. Algunos de mis árboles y flores pueden morderse las heladas. ¡Con suerte, sobrevivirán! Bendiciones, Pam
That sweet peacock is adorable. You always have the neatest napkins rings! Everything is so very pretty. China is so pretty. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy!
The pattern on your scarf is lovely against the peacocks. An unusual and arresting centerpiece. Here’s to good weather!
Thank you Sandra!
This china pattern is lovely. I love the combination of colours. The peacock bowl is very special too. This is a beautiful table.
Thank you so much, Barbara!
Love all the colours you gathered together. Super beautiful! ??????
Thanks so much!
Oh Pam! Your peacock makes a wonderful centerpiece! and your right – those bamboo rims on the china is very charming. Another beautiful table!!
Thank you so much, Ann!
Beautiful table, love the scarves and napkins together. They pull the blue color in the plates. The peacock bowl is just lovely. The sunlight is pretty as it comes across the wall.
Thank you Judy!
Oooh! Tracy Porter! Such lovely patterns; I particularly love the creamy rust colour of the plates, and the beeeyoootiful peacock. Lovely table.
So very pretty! I love the centerpiece.
Thank you Kim!
I love the look of your dinning room, especially the tablescape. Everything is fabulously done. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in love with your centerpiece ‘peacock’ vase with the moss balls.
The china is gorgeous and I’m glad you remembered it. The aqua glasses set the tone and catches my eye.
Fabby
Wow I do love the Tracey Porter dishes- great color and design! The peacock bowl is the best and the scarf used for a table runner is a great idea! I’ve done that before but lost touch with the thought. Very pretty glasses- great color. We lost our Tuesday Morning a while back- I sure do miss them!
Thank you so much Liz. How terrible that you lost your Tuesday Morning.
Your peacock centerpiece is swoonnn… love it !
Your china is really lovely and yes, when we have enough chinas we forget some, as we tend to use some that are newer. How fun it is to rediscover them too.
Such pretty table too !
Fabby
Thank you so much Fabby! Have a great weekend my friend!
