Is there anything prettier than the first bursts of color in spring?
When I set the table, it reflects my passion and personality. In my garden, the Lenten rose is the first to flower in early spring, around the period of Lent. It's also known as Lenten hellebore or oriental hellebore. They are excellent for bringing early color to the garden and the table.
All signs points to spring and sunshine in my garden this week, so I brought the spring colors indoors to my table.
The green mums from St. Patrick's Day are still hanging in there!
The dish on the dishes:
The dessert salad plate is “Amemone” from the Ambiance Collection. – purchased at Wegman’s several years ago
The salad plate is “Juliet” from the Roscher Collection – purchased from TJ Maxx two years ago
The dinner plate has been in my collection for many years, and were purchased at Wegman’s.
Wooden chargers from Pier One (recent purchase)
Placemats from TJ Maxx a few years ago
Lime green napkins from Wegmans a few years ago
The Boutique silverware shows up frequently here.
The off-white roses are "Vendella" Variety from Price Chopper. Their rose of the month.
I've included a photo of several Hellebores to give you an idea of the array of colors.

This is simply beautiful to me. You hit on the perfect combination of spring pink and green. I love LOVE those scrolly chargers, too.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that this will stay on my "favorites" list of tables this week.
Firstly, good luck in the Mikasa giveaway on my site! Your table is divine. I love the lenten roses, but have been sooo very unsuccessful in growing them. I will try one more time in a different location this summer. It might be the heat they don't like! I love your napkins and our tastes in chargers is impeccable!
ReplyDeleteYour dishes are so lovely on the table. When are we eating?
Those lentens are absolutely fabulous! The colors fit right into my palette of favorites. I have those chargers, I get excited whenever I see them they are so fun. I also adore the white dinner plates. Oh, I can't wait for spring to come.
ReplyDeleteThose lime green mums are so pretty! Such a great pop of color! I do love that spring green color too along with flowers of spring. I don't have any lenten roses and after seeing your post I am determined to buy some and plant them for next year!! I love your layered plates and those chargers are gorgeous!
