I did a second tablescape with my dollar store placemats, except this time I moved it into my kitchen table. It’s brighter in here, too, so the pictures should come out better. I forgot I even had this set of dishes and mugs, until I was putting together my dining room tablescape.
I love the blue and white harlequin pattern in the center of these great botanical designs. Below is a floral centerpiece I bought recently from Kristen at Kristen’s Creations. I love the colors she used and the bird nesting in the middle!
I set this up as if it were a brunch. Mugs for tea or coffee and small dishes for a danish or muffin. Mmm, sounds good to me!
This great little bunny dish I found in the cabinet {something else I forgot I had}. A lovely spot to place those danish or muffins.
The little cream dish below is one of those that came in a gift basket at Christmas one year. Sometimes they come in horrible colors {which I’ve kept anyway}, but this one was one I knew I would actually use. This one could hold a couple of muffins.
Here is the mug to the dish set. No harlequin pattern on this, but I love how they incorporated the blue into the rim, bottom and handle.
Close-up of the plate. Nice shape, too, isn’t it?
Such a happy, Springy setting!
No silverware or napkins, again. Apparently, we use our fingers and sleeves in this house. {Sigh}, I always forget the silverware and napkins.
Linking up to Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life and Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. Thanks to Marty and Susan for hosting these linky parties!

I just love these dishes !!! Love the entire table. Great job.
i think i have the same christmas basket plate - except mine is green! I've been using it as a spoon rest on my stove!
Your table looks very inviting! I love the dishes and the colors of the placemats. You had me laughing with your comment about no napkins or silverware....sounds like our house!

Love it!! I didn't even notice the missing silverware. That would be something I would do. I wish my local dollar store had good placemats again, they had them a few years ago but not since, grrr. And I love the dishes. I have an old set of china that was my grandmother's that still stored waiting for use.
You dishes are lovely, Kathy. The bunny plate is too charming! Pretty table, even without the napkin and flatware. ;)
Cheers!

What a sweet table setting! I just love unique shaped plates of any kind. And the colors are perfect for Spring. Your kitchen table is great! I'd love to see a photo of it uncovered.

What an inviting table for brunch! Those plates and mugs ARE adorable -- and so unusual! I like how they echo the checks around the edge of your table.
Love your table, it is fabulous and your tablescape is stunning. All of your dishes are exquisite. Such gorgoeus shapes and colors and designs. Beautiful tablescape. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

Kathy~I had to laugh, because I always forget the silverware in my tablescape shots.
You've got nothing to worry about cause we're transfixed on the beauty of your spring setting to miss any utensils.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
You are so down to earth, Kathy!! Forgetting the silver...I took quick pictures of my tablescape Easter morning only to realize later I had no wine glasses or water goblets out. It looked really plain!!
I love the pretty plates with the harlequin design...so pretty and all of your different dishes for your muffins and danish are too. It all looks yummy to me!
So glad I stopped by! :-)
