I never thought much about yellow and pink as a combo until I walked into my little
niece's nursery for the first time. It was delightful -- all yellow with a dose of pretty pink.
So when I had some friends for lunch I thought I'd pull out the old
(wedding-present-old)
yellow tablecloth to go with my mom's desert rose dishes.
I had some daffodils from the garden in a vase and then at A*die's I found
beautiful pink roses and baby's breath to tie it all together.
(BTW, A*ldie's is the place to buy flowers on the cheap.)
Menu:
Starter: a taste of Corn Chowder;
Salad and Quiche;
Fruit and Coffee-like-Cake-From-a-Blog
Blueberry Iced Tea; Lady Grey Tea
Connecting to Between Naps on the Porch for other interesting table settings.
What a beautiful table! I love the Desert Rose, and have a friend who collects it, a piece at a time. It's somewhat harder to find here than south of the border.
ReplyDeleteDesert Rose is such a pretty pattern...lovely table. I ♥ your teapot. My daffodils are barely breaking the ground.
ReplyDeleteI love yellow and pink- those are the colors for the girls' room. Your table looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteYou know...I really like the design of those teacups. I have some pieces of Franciscan's Fresh Fruit and the cups are narrower and a bit taller. Yours are so broad. Very pretty besides. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I come? Desert Rose is one of my all time favorite patterns. You made a beautiful table setting and your menu makes my mouth water! Blessings ~ Tanna
