Tablescape Thursday While many of you southerners are enjoying planting your summer flowers I am enjoying the forsythia now. Welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by our good friend Susan from Between naps on the Porch. Stop by her blog and see all those beautiful tables. My table today is a combination of old and new. The little leaf napkin rings are new from Target, but the birds are an old Christmas decoration. It’s fun to see how you can combine things you already own with the newest additions.

  10. How beautiful. I love the colors. Everything is just so pretty. I love the square brown plate with the black round one and the placemats are gorgeous. Such pretty colors. Your centerpiece container is beautiful with the gorgeous forsythia. How fun to put the birds with the leaf napkin rings and layering the napkins in such a pretty way. Love it all. Hugs, Marty

  14. Love the spring yellows on your table. I can see why the birds would love to land there and treat you to some springtime singing.
