Springtime Gardening Table

It's Spring and that means getting out in the garden (flower or vegetable or both.) Although it has not been ideal weather in our area (what with rain, hail, and very cold winds), Pat and I have already made a couple of trips to the nursery and bought plants "waiting" for a dry day. And Pat has definitely got the "Spring bug" with this week's table.

Pat used flower filled dinnerware to create a colorful Spring table

The glass bowl was selected so that the dish pattern could be seen beneath it

Flatware is the very popular "Napoleon Bee" stainless steel by Wallace

The coral charger is actually an inexpensive lacquer charger spray painted with plastic-adhesive spray paint to match the dinnerware

These inexpensive Dollar Tree glasses are the "work horse" of our glass collection - they can be relied upon to look just right when other glassware doesn't seem to "fit."

Technically a bird feeder, Pat used this sweet girl for a flower arrangement
