Hello everyone,
I hope you are all having a good week. It is already time for another Tablescape Thursday and today we are having a casual spring breakfast.
I thought I would add a few spring touches so I am using my turquoise dishes from the thrift store and some ivory ones too.
Peter Rabbit has been around here since my children were younger - I thought he would add some spring charm.
And of course I added some flowers too.
This little white bunny has also been around for awhile.
We are eating in the kitchen again this week. I am looking forward to eating out in the garden again but patience is a virtue and it will be all the sweeter for the wait!
I found this embroidered tablecloth that is edged with this wide band of beautiful hand made lace in a thrift shop last year for a couple of dollars.
Did you notice the cute little napkin rings- a gift from a friend.
This pretty dish belonged to my Mom and it always sat on her tea tray with spoons in it.
I made a couple of collages showing some of the little details. Did you notice the chaise by the window got a makeover too? More of my thrifty finds that fit our color scheme today.
I will be joining in with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday again today.
I am also joining in with Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.
Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn

Oh Carolyn, I think you like turquoise. It looks just charming. Loved it. That container the silverware is in, that belonged to your Mom, is just eye-catching. Thanks so much for sharing. Great job! Susan
I love this tablescape. How perfect for Easter. Don't you love Easter stuff? I'm in the middle of painting my dining room furniture white and soon I'll be able to set a pretty Easter table. Thanks for the inspiration.
The pretty dish that your Mom used on her tea tray to hold spoons is lovely. Your Spring table has given me hope that we will see some grass soon. A delightful table filled with treasures! My post this week include a bunny also :o)
What a wonderful table. I love all of the white with the touches of aqua. So fresh and full of details.

I don't know where to start with the compliments! I think it will be with that tablecloth! Oh and I love those darling napkin rings! It really is just an overall beautiful, beautiful look. You have done an outstanding job!! Donna
I love textiles and your table covering is divine. absolutely. also love all your bunnies and the blue and white.. your little salt and peppers are very similar to those of my grandmother.
Such delightful colors! Spring for sure.
WOWSERS! This is unbelievably GORGEOUS! I love all the Robin's Egg Blue and the vintage white colors! My favorite piece is your Mom's double handle bule cup for the spoons! What a priceless heirloom!
Visiting from Tablescape Thursday!

Turquoise is my favorite color right now! Your table setting is quite lovely, especially the sweet spoon dish! That is a special treasure!
I love the cream and green/blue colour scheme. Perfect for a spring breakfast. Makes a beautiful table scape. We are getting another dumping of snow, sigh. But the birds were all singing this morning, a joyful sound. Take care:)
Your table setting brought Spring to me early; so pretty and fresh. As always, beautiful colours.
The colors on this table are just luscious! And what a find that tablecloth was! Oh. So. Pretty!
Carolyn, this sweet blue is so refreshing and optimistic! It's perfect for the weeks running up to Spring. All the little details are wonderful, as always. You take so much time to make it all just right and that is really appreciated. Won't be much longer now until you can have breakfast outside again. :) Georgianna
Darling Carolyn, your table is simply stunning!! I wouldn't be surprize to see a little fairy coming out from the rabbit hat!!
And what a sweetness and light. Really stunning! Thank you for share
Have a nice day
Silvia
Bello, bellissimo un sogno. Ciao a presto.
Quel ravissement ce petit déjeuner ivoire et turquoise ! Tu as raison, la patience est une vertu ... bient^pt les beaux jours te permettront de savourer ce plus beau moment de la journée dehors ! Bises
The turquoise dishes from the thrift store are so lovely! I can feel the Spring from your photos. I love the details as the spotted bowl and Peter Rabit. :) It looks so good together. :) I look forward to your photos from the Island.
Wow!!! I love Tiffany blue...
beautiful photos!!! I like your blog :o) Hugs!
Magda
Just lovely. I love that rabbit!
Carolyn, it is just lovely, and I love the beautiful blues. It reminds me of robin's eggs.
I certainly wish I was there to enjoy it with you.
Carolyn -
I'm sure your mother would be so proud of the way you are using that beautiful spooner. Your table is so delightful because you have mixed true antiques with vintage with new. Anyone can buy a "set" of dishes and set a table, but a lovingly collected look is soooo much more interesting. Your flair for florals shines here too. This is such a relaxed and lovely way to start the day.

Beautiful! I just love the blue!!! Your photos are delightful! Lana www.lifeatwildberrycottage.com

Hugs, Cindy

What a pretty tablescape. Very spring and very inviting.
Amy
Oh, how I'd love to be sitting at that table right! ♥
Oh wow Carolyn!
Very nice. Love the blue color, the cutlery and the napkin rings are adorable. Your tablescape is very spring-y to me.
Have a nice day,
Sanna
I love the blue and white...it looks so fresh and springy! I also love your use of the bunnies, and the egg cups are darling. I'm hosting an Easter Birthday Party for my soon-to-be one-year old next month, and I'm looking for ideas for his table. We will have mostly adults, but there will be a couple of "under fives" with us. I'm looking forward to it. Perhaps I can do the adult table more elegant and a special, smaller table for the kiddies. Thanks for the inspiration!
Paula
So pretty Carolyn!!
I love this soft blue and the creamy whites of your chairs and walls!
I spotted that antique salt and pepper shakers...beautiful!!!
Love the blue depression glass...never seen blue just pink and green!!
Pamela xo
I agree with EVERYONE - lovely!
I LOVE the beautiful shade of blue against the white on your table. As I was looking at your pictures I could almost smell the fresh air and hear the birds chirping outside the window. I love how you have pieces that mix and match so well together. This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Carolyn,
Your turquoise and white table setting with Easter rabbits is absolutely breathtaking. I would love to have brunch at that table. You are so very creative.
Debbie
Hello Carolyn,
I love love your spring table!!! Your cup rings are perfect I want them too:)))Mr.Rabbit with hat is perfect!
Have a nice sunny days Vlaďka
There is nothing as lovely as Robin's egg aqua blue and your table is proof of that!! It is so pastel and beckons spring to hurry and arrive! I love every feature and the teacup napkin ring is just so darn cute!!! I am thinking a cup of tea while propped on your chaise would be really nice about now!!
Oh that colour scheme makes my heart skip a beat!
I love it all, your photos are delicious! Such spring flair!
And that thrifty table cloth...with that wide butterfly crochet pattern is theeeeeee best thing ever!
Gor. Gee. Ous. Oh!!!
Ciao Bella!
I love the colours of your spring tablescape Carolyn. I was admiring the glass sugar bowl you're using as a spooner, very pretty and practical.
It's mild here so maybe the snow will go for good - we can only hope!
Judith
Oh WOW I love your table!! Such gorgeous colors. What a beautiful way to start the day.

Oh my goodness. I know when I visit I"m going to get a treat, and this is just so special! I just love that beautiful blue with the creamy white. It looks especially lovely with the background. Wish I could find something so nice as the tablecloth at a thrift store here! Just gorgeous!! Thanks so much for stopping by:-)
Hi Carolyn,
It is wonderful to see color so bright and cheery!! Thanks for sharing:-)
Bella
oh it all looks so pretty, reminds me of a robins egg and spring for sure!
Is the blue called Robin egg blue?
I have always called it that but was wondering if that is correct. I think it is such a soothing color and I totally love your table.
Beautiful setting.
Betsy
I love the blue in your dishes. It looks very much like Tiffany blue which I especially love since every box has something wonderful in it! :-) You really brought the essence of spring to your table. The colors are both soothing and joyous which is a difficult feat to accomplish. Very nicely done!
Such a lovely table, such a lovely place!
Oh Carolyn what a lovely table you have set up in expectation to spring! Truly lovely! And I love the colors. I'm into a lot of blue lately in my decorations, especially robin's egg and teal blues... aren't those the most gorgeous colors! May you have a blessed and sun-filled weekend dear Carolyn!
Cielo
Oh, I love the table scape. It is beautiful. Love the pale turquoise, so pretty and spring looking. Thanks for sharing. Karie
Carolyn....
I am not usually drawn to blues but this is STUNNING!!!! I love everything about this table and am rethinking blue now! Your napkin rings are beautiful and your mother's blue dish is just charming!
Carolyn,
This table is just BEAUTIFUL!! I am in love with the soft turquoise and ivory -- what a great combination. The linens are beautiful and so soft looking. I really love your Mom's glass dish; it looks perfect on this table. Thanks for sharing.
Denise
Absolutely adore this color palette!
Your dishes and tablecloth are stunning! I really love the turquoise colored ones :-)
Blessings,
Marcia
The most beautiful spring table setting!!! Robin's egg blue. So spring and Easter. I love the rabbit and how you keep the traditions going. You create the most dreamy settings Carolyn.
Come on Spring...

What a beautiful spring table!!! I just love the pastel colors. All of your treasures are a visual feast of spring delights.
Dear Carolyn, a most beautiful setting to celebrate spring that only you can make!!! Adorable!!!
hugs my dear
The aqua color has to be one of my very favorites. I LOVE your tablescape. I think that I may have spied a dusty aqua/teal quilt under your tablecloth that I also have. I bought it to use as a tablecloth...it stays in disquise, folded at the end of a bed in one of our guest rooms. Thank you for sharing your beautiful design. Cherry Kay
The blue in your tablescape is just lovely and the shots are stunning. I just scrolled down further and loved the shot of the frosty pink rose bud. Just lovely.
Love to see you over at Desire Empire where you will find lots of coastal blue and pink.
Best wishes
Carolyn
