Tablescape Thursday~Yellow and Lime green

Photobucket


Joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday, please stop by her blog to see the other entries..

I found this square pillow sham in the clearance at Pottery Barn Outlet..I loved the colors..but had no idea what I would use it for...
I thought it would work as a topper on one of those little round decorator tables..

So..I started from there, added a little yellow watering can filled with white hydrangea..on top of a plain white polished cotton cloth..

Photobucket

I added a yellow beaded plate from WSonoma outlet, on top of a white charger from Noritake..and a square bowl from Pfaltzgraff..

Photobucket

Lime green napkins trimmed with polka dots with a watering can ring, yellow ramekins for a roll, green stems and matching tumblers from Pfaltzgraff clearance center..Garden of Eden I think is the pattern..

Photobucket

4 Green votives and glass indiv butter dishes...lime green pedestal plate

Photobucket

And that's today's table!

And for dinner..
I had a fresh pineapple I had to use, so I made pineapple chicken over rice with snow peas..

If you missed this little guy's table yesterday, please scroll down for a look...

Thanks for coming..see you for Foodie and Flashback Friday..

    You do some of the best tables Kathleen! I always rush here to see and get inspired! I love the lime and yellow, such a pretty table and how cute is the pitcher and polka dot napkins! Thanks for the inspiration and the fabulous looking food is too! I will add your white party to my blog side bar. Can't wait! Hugs, Cindy

    I have been held hostage this week by a 2.5 yr old so I just fell into my chair to catch up on blog reading. I like the cookie mosaic and those nut cookies are amazing. Now the little napkin holders on Wed are adorable and outside Mass is a great idea. Today's TS is so pretty with the vibrant colors of lemon yellow and lime green. Love the little umbrella on the yummy food:) Hubby is returning from your town tomorrow and said it was hot out there this week. Enjoy the summer weather finally.

    I absolutely loved how you showed us in "layers" the way you set your table. I always enjoy learning what inspires a person with their tablescape. Today mine was my new placemats. This is a beautiful table and I'm glad I found your blog.

    Hi Kathleen, your table is gorgeous..every detail is perfectly attended to. Just love it.

    Thanks for joining the Rooster Party. No, I'm not using Mr. Linky. Another gal used the same system on the sidebar that I am and it worked out great....thought I would follow her lead.

    Thanks for inviting me to the All White Party. I will add the button to my sidebar and most likely join you. It sounds like great fun.

    Have a lovely and blessed day,
    Barb

    Thanks for visiting my blog and for your sweet comments...and good wishes for my dream in St A.
    There is so much beauty by the ocean...be it FL, the Carolinas, or East Long Island (yes, I have been there). It's even beautiful beside the Gulf. (We do get great sunsets there!)

    Hi Kathleen, Isn't it funny how inspiration can come from the simplest of things? Finding that sham and running with the color scheme was just so fun! Love the lime green played against the yellow and the polka dots.
