The Good Earth~Eat Your Vegetables!

It’s Earth Day..did you mail your cards?  :)

When I was still teaching, there would always be a tree planting, and some little ceremony…

Old habits die hard, elementary school teachers move through one holiday to the next..similar  to bloggers..

So for Earth Day…Eating On Top of the World…

I used this cloth map as a topper..(Walmart)

To help us find our way on this tablescaping journey, a bronze colored compass..( end of summer sale, CTS) I knew I’d find some way to use it!

 

First I tried a navy blue plate, but it was too dark..

So I switched to red…one of the colors in the map..

 

I used a black charger, the red plate (WS Outlet) a lime green salad plate…They were a gift from my sweet  friend Karen from the Holiday Forum on the Garden Web..

Yellow napkin inside black stems, (Pfaltzgraff outlet)

Yellow ramekins, Target..

Little blue glass flowerpot votives..Walmart

Blue and white flatware WS outlet..$3.97 for service for 4 last summer.

Some nice sea birds laid some blue egg salt and pepper shakers in the middle of the ocean for us..Pfaltzgraff outlet)

Eye popping for sure!  Conducive to a game of Geography while we eat. 

Like what countries could we eat for dinner?

What country’s capital is very hot?

Capital  of a foreign country that is the name of a grape?

Ok, dig out your maps and start looking..ans are food related..

Eat Your Vegetables..eat mine too as I am not a fan..:)

I used City Market by Pfaltzgraff ..You have seen them before..I got them for 2.00 a plate at the outlet a few years ago..

For the cloth, I decided to pull out the eggplant color…I got the fabric at Walmart last year..1.00 a yd. The  Walmart I go to still has fabric as there are no other fabric stores around.

Fresh broccoli in a carrot vase (CTS) is the centerpiece. I got it on one my trips there with The Tablescaper.

Green and white flatware same price and same source as in the first scape..

Same green salad plate from Karen..

Napkins with embroidered carrots from WSonoma outlet..2.00 each last year..

Little green cabbage  leaf bowls from my friend Susan, Savoring Time in the Kitchen.

I made cole slaw today, so I saved the shell to serve the potato salad .  The pedestal is from my friend Pam, via TJMAXX..

It is the one I used in the post about the chrysanthemum plate..

 

Thanks for visiting..eat your veggies, and Happy Earth Day…Be kind to her..she’s an old gal!

Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for many, many tablescapes!
