THAT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT!!!
It is getting warmer and we have had
a few beautiful days.
It was beautiful yesterday. I left for therapy early so I could go by GW. I have said before that our GW never has anything. I went anyway.
As luck would have it I found this Longaberger look alike for on $1.00. Not quite the LB quality but really nice. For $1.00 it was going home with me.
 |
| I had planned to use this Irish runner buy decided to use it next week. Nice little basket, yes? |
 |
| I like the way the handle curves |
 |
| Sturdy for $1.00 |
I stopped at Kroger and picked up some Primrose for my centerpiece. Bob came today bringing his free flowers, Pink Roses. That's when I decided to change what I had planned for the tablescape. I decided to use my Franciscan Desert Rose.
 |
| I used the pink roses and the primrose. |
 |
| I love these green and white placements. I think, in blog lingo, this is a vintage, chippy and shabby charger. |
 |
| I added my vintage Franciscan Desert Rose dinner plate. I hate the new stuff they are selling. Won't buy it. |
 |
| Pink salad plate |
 |
| Forgot to get a pic of just the rimmed soup. Added linen and crochet, starched, napkin and yellow rose ring. |
 |
| I love the Wallace sterling flatware, Waltz of Spring |
 |
| Bob's free roses, forsythia and greenery from the yard. |
 |
| I ended up using the primrose |
 |
I have enough serving pieces to enjoy using them often, serving most anything. This would be a typical setting with family in the kitchen. I did a similar table with the same china for my daughter,
Kim, the last time she was in town.
|
 |
| Purchased votive holders during after Christmas sales. |
|
| The water goblets were a thrift store find. Pattern unknown. Only had four. |
|
| This is my favorite pic. I think I used it twice. That's OK, it's my fairytale. Love the napkin rings, I got them from ebay. Ebay is gooooood. |
 |
| relish dish was thrift store find |
 |
| Bob thought this was a real rose. Our eyes are failing you know! |
 |
| I just love the napkin rings. Did I say that before? The napkins are vintage. I think they go well with the charger. |
I hope you have enjoyed my "Ode to Spring"

Gorgeous as always!!! Our pear trees are in full bloom too, and they made me feel very much like spring. I love the way you used the green check with those dishes.
And I'm coming to Savannah next week for shopping. I need to hit your thrift stores! Love those goblets.
so lovely and springy! i wish spring was coming here-2 days of being in the 50's, but tomorrow is 37! crazy! can't wait for spring to finally get here.
Oh my goodness your table looks beautiful! Love the flowers, the dishes and the napkins and the napkin rings. Really just everything!!
Oh Granny, SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!

Your tablescape is beautiful, I too have the Fransican Desert Rose, and enjoy it so much.
Thanks for sharing.

I have enjoyed your Ode to Spring too...so very pretty!
Anytime I see someone using a tablesetting using the Desert Rose pattern and I am quick to take a look. I have all of my mother's Desert Rose with many serving pieces but I rarely use it. I should do a table with it soon. I thought your table was absolutely beautiful. Don't you just love those little rosebud S&P's. I think they are my favoirte of my own set.

Oh ~ I LOVE your Ode To Spring. Your table is beautiful, as always. Wow! I am always so impressed with all you do when I come here. Hugs-Diana
Hi Ginger! Oh, what a gorgeous table you've set! First that's a great knock off LB basket! Looks like a good sturdy one. I have those dishes too but I have some old and new pieces. But you're so right, the newer ones aren't the same.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
A very very pretty table. Desert Rose is such a pretty pattern! And I love primroses!
Love your Spring colors and your dining area is adorable. It sounds like you have some great thrift stores in Savannah. Have a happy Spring!
Beautiful tablescape. Thanks for sharing!
Ginger, what a beautiful spring table with those wonderful green and white checked place mats. Love them.
Love your Ode to Spring!That was a great buy on the basket and your table is beautiful!
It's been warm here too but is going to cool off again for a few days.
Your table really makes me feel like Spring is here. Unfortunately in my part of the country we have a bit longer to wait, but we can pretend.

This is such a gorgeous tablescape, Ginger! Really beautiful...just feels so much like spring!
I love your shabby chic chargers they look fabulous with the Desert Rose.
I dropped by to let you now that I have you a little shout out on my most recent post. Thanks for your inspiring work.

Very pretty table! Lovin' your new basket and chippy chargers, they are great! Enjoy the beautiful flowers:@)
Just beautiful- it looks like a spring day. The flowers are beautiful. Love those vintage napkins.
Beautiful table Ginger, everything looks so fresh and ready for spring. Your tables are always so inviting, I feel like I could sit right down and feel comfortable at your table. Thanks for sharing.
That is a lovely tablescape and your dishes a really pretty. Love when beautiful roses grace the center of the table.
This made me very nostalgic -- my mother had Desert Rose. I gave it to a cousin who had some (she won't buy the new stuff either), so she was happy to have Mama's. This makes me wish I had kept some! I have looked everywhere for pretty green placemats, and I love your gingham ones. Beautiful table.
So lovely! Spring is in the air at your place! Great tablescape.
Ginger, that first photo of the whole table was such a delight! Those green and white placemats are SO pretty -- and unexpected -- with your pretty Desert Rose dishes. The whole table is SO inviting! Those roses did inspire a great tablescape!
I love the vintage Desert Rose dishes but they are so pricey when I find them. One day I may own a few plates. Gorgeous table and beautiful roses! You really made it feel like Spring! hugs, Linda
Hey my Savannah Granny, I have tagged you over at LazyonLoblolly,
