Flowers and Butterflies Table

During one of our trips to our local Pier 1 some time ago, Pat and I "scored" on a set of sweet dinnerware that was on sale. It's bold blue and colorful flowers are not every one's choice, so we could see why it did not sell immediately. Of course, for Pat, that meant a challenge. She loves to play with various color combinations and for this table, she chose a very unlikely combo of colors.
You can see how Pat took her color cue from the place setting and mixed gold, blue, and apricot



Flatware is sleek "Queensgate" stainless steel by J.A. Henckels




To add more color, Pat used a blue water goblet

The rather large butterfly napkin ring works well with the color combination of the table

Of course, the apricot silk rose centerpiece was taken from the roses on the salad plate. Pat placed the roses in a "Lady Diamond" tumbler by Cristal d'Arques - then she raised it slightly by using a glass candle holder.

The sweet Armani "Girl with a Butterfly" figurine belonged to our Mother

  1. I love this! The pretty colors in the plates look so nice with the placemats and the butterflies. And your mother's figurine is the perfect touch for Mother's Day week.
