Springtime Bee Tablescape

On a whim, Pat pulled out our Pottery Barn "Bee" plates that we found several years ago on eBay and decided to do a Spring "Bee" tablescape this week.

With no rain predicted - just overcast skies and lots of cold, north winds - this bright and cheerful table brings lots of needed light to the room

The bread and butter plates are actually Fiesta(ware) appetizer plates. (Homer Laughlin stopped making bread and butter plates several years ago - much to my dismay since I collected them.)

Pat mixed all kinds of manufacturers: Mikasa charger, Waechtersbach dinner plate, Pottery Barn accent plate, Noritake flatware, Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plate, and Dansk water goblet

Flatware is "Decision" Primastone by Noritake

Pottery Barn made this plate in both green and in blue

The dinner plate is Lemon Peel Yellow "Fun Factory" by Waechtersbach

Sorry the picture is a bit washed out but it is really dark outside this afternoon

The water goblet is "Rio Yellow" by Dansk
