Happy Tuesday, Friends and welcome to the Vintage Easter Joys Blog Hop! A big thanks to gracious Amber at Follow the Yellow Brick Home, for gathering some of our favorite blogger friends to share vintage Easter inspiration today and tomorrow. That's not all--on Friday you'll be able to link your favorite Easter projects and decor!
It's beginning to look like spring in my Texas hill country garden, Secret Garden Herbs. Mountain Laurel is blooming...
...and so are my Lady Banks miniature roses.

Today we're heading outside to the garden, where I've layered a few of my thrifted vintage white tablecloths in a sun-dappled spot surrounded by the lush greenery of honeysuckle vines.
I've been excited to feature these gorgeous vintage Spode Sunflower plates I scored during my thrifting adventures last month. When I spied them at the end of the aisle, I made a beeline and was thrilled to find them in perfect condition. Dishaholic that I am, I love discovering a pattern I haven't seen before, and these from Spode's Blue Room Collection were new to me.
I shopped my home for the rest of the tablescape, choosing vintage Fire-King tea cups, copper handled flatware and natural woven placemats for texture. The lace napkins and vintage chicks are also thrift store finds.
Next I shopped my garden, adding fresh rosemary to my bunny vase and tiny pots of violas that I gave an aged patina with white chalk paint.
I really enjoy setting a table out in the garden surrounded by nature. The crisp blue and white is a lovely contrast to the surrounding greenery.

What a gorgeous tablescape. I adore the vintage chicks. They are so sweet. Your Lady Banks roses are just wonderful. Happy Holy Week!
ReplyDeleteThose dishes are so special! Just gorgeous with the sunflower and shades of blue...two of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I can't wait for spring to be that advanced here in Ohio. So thankful that He is Risen!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Cecilia! Love the blue and white with all the beautiful green of your garden surrounding it! So nice to see someone else's yard with something other than snow! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, how fun to be out in your garden today! I have never seen that pattern before, and it sure is lovely. Perfectly paired with touches of yellow. Won't be long till I'll have flowers blooming and can spend time in the garden doing other things besides spring clean up. :)

Cecilia, to say I'm a little jealous of your ability to have an outdoor tablescape this early in the season, and to have scored those sunflower plates is an understatement! Your vintage charm (😉) is oozing, both in your tabke now and in recent posts. It's always a pleasure to visit friends with like interests, but to share this blog tour with you is a special Easter Joy for me.
ReplyDeleteLove that tablescape! Everything looks so nice. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those Spode dishes are outstanding. Has this red girl dreaming of blue!
ReplyDeleteI bet evem leftovers would taste gorgeous eaten in your beautiful setting! I was envying you the greenery as we still have lots of snowbanks. The only thing that thinks it's mud season is the driveway! I bought an Easter lily that should bloom by Sunday to bring to church! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is pretty, and I LOVE your dining room. I need to take your spring home tour!
