Tablescape Thursday

This is my first post for Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch. I love looking at everyone's entries for TT. You will be amazed at the beautiful and creative tablesettings all the participants come up with - check them out!!

I went with a very spring-like colored tablecloth and matching napkins and cream-colored dishes. I love the colors:







Dishes and rooster centerpiece by Lenox.
Tablecloth and napkins by Ralph Lauren.
Glassware by Williams-Sonoma.
Flatware by... Target!!

    Lovely tablescape! The colors are refreshing, and the settings are elegant. And it's not nearly as over-the-top as Sandra Lee's tablescapes!!

    You did a fabulous first tablescape! So pretty! The dishes are so fun and complimentary with all their various shapes. Your rooster is so proud in the middle of the table. Love it!

    I just love looking at your tablescapes. How do you recommend getting started with buying everything and where do you learn to fold napkins in such a neat way?

    Thank you all!!

    Gabe's Girl, watch for sales!! I've had my eye on the Lenox dishes for some time, and one day Macy's had an amazing sale on them - so I took quick advantage. :D Also, discount websites (Smartbargains.com, Overstock.com, etc) often have dishes at 50% - 75% off their original price. I've gotten a few deals there. Discount stores (TJMaxx, HomeGoods, Ross, etc.) often have interesting dishware, and you'd be surprised how many cute things you'll find at Target (where I found the flatware).

    I'm really a novice at tablescaping, but I love dishes and have much more than one person needs! ;) I just love to change up the tablesetting sometimes, even if I'm just cooking for myself!

    Thanks again for the kudos, all you talented people! :D
