A Casual Woodlands Table

May 30, 2023~ Tablescape Tuesday, Tablescapes

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a safe and peaceful Memorial Day Weekend! Yesterday was unusually cool for the 29th day of May!

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭

I often enjoy setting a casual table using the basics!

The picnic table sits next to our woodlands area and provides a nice shade and usually a cooling breeze!

A seersucker cloth covers the table which is in need of some tender loving care. Those pesky squirrels often dine at the table and don’t even bother to pick up after themselves. They have plenty of food but have also chosen to gnaw on the table!

Staying with my approach to a simple table, wildflowers were chosen for a centerpiece!

“Man has created some lovely dwellings, some soul-stirring literature. He has done much to alleviate physical pain. But he has not created a substitute for a sunset, a grove of pines, the music of the winds, the dank smell of the deep forest, or the shy beauty of a wildflower.”
~Harvey Broome

Beautiful Queen Anne’s lace is free for the picking…

…as is daisy fleabane!

Lance leaf coreopsis was apparently included in a butterfly-bee mix of wildflower seeds planted last year. It has been a delight this spring in our garden!

 

There were no recent purchases for this casual table. However, I have never shown you the Copeland Spode salad plates in the ‘Buttercup’ pattern that I purchased last October in Highlands, NC. I love this botanical pattern that features yellow buttercups, blue forget-me-nots, green leaves, and brown borders against a cream background. Buttercups bloom in spring and are most often considered weeds which are not welcomed in gardens. Enmasse they make a show of bright yellow near our pasture. Their flowers are small, and stems are short which makes it challenging to use in an arrangement!

Sunlight and shadows dance across the view of the Sunshine Cottage!

You might wonder, why this color of napkin…look closely and you will see the blueish gray forget-me-nots. Acrylic tortoiseshell flatware accents the brown borders of the salad plates.

 

Thank you for your visit and gracious comments. Wishing you a joy-filled week!

    I love the old-fashioned appeal of your vintage Copeland Spode ‘Buttercup’ plates Pam! They’re perfectly paired with your wildflower bouquet, seersucker cloth and woodlands tablesetting. Don’t get me started on what those dastardly squirrels will destroy. We have the fattest squirrels in a 10-mile radius with our birdfeeders and they still chew on our chairs. Happy Tuesday ♥

      Thank you, Mary. From the deer, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, etc. that live here they are fed so well and yet still dig in the garden and under the trees. There were deer tracks in our rows of sunflowers! of course that includes the raccoons, skunks, and armadillos 🦌🦨🐿️🦃🐇🦔

    I have always loved buttercups. When I was a kid we would put them under our chin and the brighter the reflection of yellow the more one was supposed to like butter. lol. Love the Spode plates, Pam. I have a weakness for china.
    Have a wonderful week- xo Diana

    I love this! The seersucker instantly transported me to my youth in the clothes I often wore, and in my Dad’s summer suits. The old fashioned wildflower bouquet is so simply sweet, and your salad plates are perfect in their setting. You say basics, but I say very special!

    This is so pretty Pam, you have captured the feeling of summer! I love the wildflower centerpiece, it is simple but really grabs the eye. Yellow and blue are always wonderful together and your buttercup plates are lovely. Squirrels! How can something so small cause so much trouble!! They certainly can make a mess. The photo with the Sunshine Cottage in the background is beautiful. Happy Summer!

    Good morning, Pam! What a beautiful table you have set for us today. Your floral centerpiece of wildflowers is so pretty in the sunny yellow pitcher and compliments your seersucker tablecloth perfectly. I love seersucker, and it is the perfect spring and summer fabric. Your sweet Spode salad plates add such a pretty accent to the table. Wishing you a most happy day, sweet friend!

    “Free for the picking” does not detract from its ethereal beauty…imagine something so delicate as Queen Anne’s Lace stealing the show…. God’s plan in nature’s design never misses…. Shades of youthful summers in the seersucker….it deserves a fashion comeback, and how lovely as a table covering. Your woodland
    table brings elegant simplicity to an otherwise rustic setting and those buttercup
    dishes just shine. No wonder the critters are drawn ……

    My cousin’s wedding china was the Buttercup pattern and I can remember looking at the gifts sprawled out on long tables in their basement back in 1963 — I was all of 12 years old — and thinking “that’s the most beautiful china I have ever seen.” I still think so. It’s perfect on your table with the blue napkins and the yellow flower-filled pitcher.

    Beautiful table Pam! The Spode is so pretty and delicate and looks perfect with the dainty Queen Anne’s lace, and the coreopsis brings out the buttercup yellow in the plates. I remember seersucker dresses as a kid – it was the coolest fabric to wear growing up on the hot prairies. I’m sorry about the squirrels and all the other critters in your gardens – Mary’s comment and your response made me smile. I hope you have a lovely week!

Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile.

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.

Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our woodlands and this is the first one of the season, an Easter/Spring table! 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!

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!

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!
