Spring Tabletop Inspiration

March 3, 2022~ Everyday Living, Faith, Spring, Sunshine Cottage, Tablescapes

Hello sweet friends. Can you believe March has arrived? After so much rain, we have had three beautiful days of sunshine with temps reaching the low to mid seventies.

My heart has been so heavy for the people of Ukraine, it has been difficult to bring myself to even share a blog post. Thankfully, I can always find hope and comfort in God’s Word.

“Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭

The official start to spring is only seventeen days away. With all things spring on my mind, I thought it would be great to round-up spring tabletop inspiration for your enjoyment.

To view the original post, click on the highlighted links.

Dancing Poppies

A table for two was set on the counter in the Sunshine Cottage.

Spring turns my thoughts to colorful tablescapes. These happy poppies make me smile!

Sunshine, Tea, & Muffins

For a simple pleasure, I set a table for myself underneath the Lady Banks Rose arbor on a sunny spring morning! A cup of Earl Grey tea and lemon poppyseed muffins (my favorite) were the perfect accompaniment…

…while perusing a favorite magazines!

Quimper & Wildflowers

RM foraged the surrounding woods for this bouquet of wildflowers!

The tablescape was left simple to allow the vintage Quimper faience pottery in the “Soleil Yellow” pattern and the wildflowers to be the stars of the table!

Cherry Blossoms & Snowball Blooms

Springtime often finds me setting our picnic table. With views of the Sunshine Cottage in the distance…

…and our two large snowball viburnums in bloom, the setting was ideal for an arrangement of Kwanzan cherry blossoms and snowball blooms!

Anticipating Spring

Vintage Noritake dishware and pastel colors…

…are used on the dining room table in anticipation of spring.

A Mini Garden In The Sunshine Cottage

A miniature garden of spring bulbs is a perfect tabletop idea to welcome spring!

This vignette could be easily tweaked to be used as a centerpiece for a spring or Easter tablesetting!

Precious Memories

Not only is Easter celebrated in spring, but also Mother’s Day! Long-time readers know how much I love sharing stories of my precious Mother. There is not a day that passes that I don’t miss her. She was beautiful inside and out!

This table was set in her memory!

Spring Tea In The Garden

Ginger orange green tea, macarons, bright pink roses, and a cherished “Berkeley” tea set by Royal Albert were placed on a vintage cutwork tablecloth.

Sweet little hands added the festive bubbles!

Springtime In The Country

Patterns, textures, and colors are playfully mixed for a spring table. For a girl that grew up in the city, I love country living!

We have an abundance of rabbits and a few even hopped up onto the table.

I hope you enjoyed a little springtime tabletop therapy. Thank you for your sweet visit and gracious comments. Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Winter here took a toll on the garden again, so these lovely spring images have me dreaming of getting things looking presentable again. I’m off to a plant center again today. The concern of the destruction in Ukraine and the world situation fills my thoughts, and working in the garden is one way to calm my mind.

    “In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky the larks, still bravely singing, fly scarce heard amid the guns below” God have mercy on the people of Ukraine And inspire us and them to fight for the freedom we have been given in Jesus name.

Your poppy table in the Sunshine Cottage is one of my all time favorites, and I love the one with the pink roses in the tea set too, they are all so stunning! Enjoy the beautiful weekend ahead!

The table is enhanced by views toward the mountain, woodlands, and the large Snowball Viburnum. The verdant rye grass appears as a green carpet that has been spread for Easter! Vintage Fitz and Floyd ‘Herb Garden’ teapots, sugar and creamer, and oval tray are suited for springtime with their embossed bows, vegetables, and words. A bouquet of Kwanzan Cherry blossoms add more spring color to the setting. 

I am serving a simple teatime with Earl Grey tea, savory egg salad filled phyllo cups, and sweet vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing, and macarons! A favorite cottage rose tablecloth and Essential napkins are by April Cornell.

We are most blessed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, being the source of new life, yet new life that is eternal. The beauty of this spring will again give way to another autumn in a few months, but the significance of His empty tomb will never change!

I love all the sweet bunny decorations, but Easter is so much more. We celebrate Easter because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  His bodily resurrection enables all those who choose to follow Him to have assured victory over our greatest enemy…death!

 I look forward each year when some of my favorite blooms display their amazing beauty in our garden. Snowball viburnum in its full glory with large creamy white blooms. Climbing Lady Banks Rose is covered in hundreds of miniature yellow blooms cascading to the ground. An old-fashioned Bridal Wreath Spirea with its branches arching to the ground in a fountain-like growth habit is loaded with showy double white flowers in clusters of three to six that resemble a bride’s wreath. I still claim the Kwanzan Cherry tree even though it is now on our son’s property. Its ruffled pink double pink blossoms are some of my favorite blooms. All four of these blooms make up an arrangement with a few tulips from the grocery store. 

A fluffle of moss bunnies hopped up to the picnic table. A ‘Charming’ tablecloth with  Mary Lake-Thompson napkins and Williams Sonoma enchanting ‘Famille Rose’ bunny plates!

I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on m I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on my blog. My precious Daddy passed away peacefully on March 26th at the age of 94, surrounded by his beloved family! He was born during the depths of the Great Depression. That may have been part of the reason he was always content and loved the simple things. 

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1

After high school graduation he signed to play professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians Organization. His baseball career was cut short when he was drafted in the army. He was seriously wounded in the Korean War and was awarded a Purple Heart and two bronze stars. Upon returning home, he married my beautiful Mother and they shared 54 wonderful years together before she passed away suddenly. 

My brother and I grew up in a Christian home, bathed in love, calm, security, and contentment, under the care of the two finest parents anyone could have. Daddy was known as Pawpaw to his three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. 

My heart is broken, he was the best Daddy a girl could have. I know he is present with the Lord and I rejoice in that promise, knowing too, that my Mother is also in the eternal presence of our Heavenly Father.

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition of Tea on Tuesdays. My inspiration for teatime is the beautiful linens from @april.cornell With the celebration of their 50th anniversary, many Heritage Prints from the archives have returned. Eden is one of the beautiful patterns that has returned. It is a soft purple paradise where butterflies float, roses bloom, and soft sage leaves levitate. As an April Cornell Brand Ambassador, I was gifted these gorgeous linens! I have been a collector of @april.cornell linens for many years…the floral patterns resonate with my love of English Country. 

I am serving my favorite, Earl Gray tea, from an Eileen’s Reserve teapot. Teacups by Grace Teaware and vintage Rose Chintz salad plates by Johnson Brothers add more floral patterns to the mix. Japanese Magnolia blooms were cut from my garden and placed in a lilypad teapot!

Instead of fresh flowers, porcelain ones require no arranging. Sweet treats pair perfectly with a traditional English Breakfast tea. I am joining friends Sarah @sjpa48 and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net

Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold days, we are experiencing a tease of spring with a 73 degree day that is forecast. After the gray and cloudy days, I needed a dose of color and decided to set a colorful citrus themed brunch! Using a bird gold and pewter stand, I mixed a citrus medley of lemons, oranges, and limes with pink and white carnations as the centerpiece. The table is highlighted with blue and white dishware. Fresh squeezed orange juice, French-pressed coffee and sweet treats of lemon poppyseed muffins, lemon cake with lemon icing, and lemon pastries are perfect for a small brunch. A faux lemon topiary belonged to my beloved Mother and seemed a perfect addition to a citrus-themed table!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluf Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluffing for Valentine’s Day! For many years my Sweetheart and I have celebrated February 14th at home where it is quiet, no reservations are required, and we always have a table by the window! 

I love the traditional colors of red and pink! Frilly carnations fill a vintage Staffordshire, ‘Charlotte’ pitcher which rests on an antique Limoges plate with a velvet gold-crowned heart. The plate stack consists of a Royal Stafford ‘Asiatic pheasant’ dinner plate, American Atelier ‘Baroque’ luncheon/salad plate, Johnson Brothers, ‘Winchester’ salad plate, and a vintage pierced Bavarian rose plate! I am a huge fan of mixing colors, patterns, and textures for a collected look. 

I have joined 17 table stylists for a Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. Click the LINK in my bio to see all of the Valentine inspiration!

Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I am serving my favorite tea, Earl Grey, in the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy! The magic of dancing sunlight enhances the table that is dressed with a warm tartan plaid throw repurposed as a tablecloth! ‘Winter Fauna’ bird salad plates from Pottery Barn (many years ago and now discontinued) remind me of the birds I watch from my kitchen window during the winter season. The Grace Teaware set adds more blue and white to the Spode ‘Blue Room’ dinner plates. Sweet treats were placed on a stack of Bordallo Pinheiro plates! A darling Hummel ‘Icy Adventure’ depicts a scene of an outdoor frozen pond with a pair of sweet ice skaters, a rosy cheeked boy and girl who have fallen down on the ice. I am sharing Tea on Tuesdays with Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net Link in my Bio will take you to my blog post! Stay warm and safe!
