Springtime in Turquoise and Orange

After a very gloomy week (constant overcast skies - and no sign of rain or sunshine), Pat decided it was time to brighten up the mood and set an uplifting table. She chose very colorful dishes that we bought a few years ago from Pier 1 and paired them with coordinating apricot colored place mats. 

This was enough to help brighten the day - colorful napkins, lively dinnerware, and cheerful place mats

It's not often that Pat sets a table without a bread and butter plate

Flatware is "Butterfly" stainless steel by Godinger

Pat used simple glassware since the pattern on the plate was so "busy"

Simple greenery for the centerpiece does not compete with the colorful dinnerware

Where it came from:

Apricot Place Mats - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond three or four years ago

Dinnerware - "Danielle's Flower" from Pier 1 about five years ago

Flatware - "Butterfly" by Godinger from Horchow three years ago

Small Water Goblet - from the Dollar Tree (still available)

Wine Glass - "Entertain" from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago

Rust Colored Napkins - from Linentablecloth.com 

Orange Tapers - from the Ferndale Emporium (a local kitchen and gift store)
