Welcome to Tablescape Thursday~
This week I'm doing a Green & White Spring Luncheon at my house.
We've been teased with some glorious sunny weather recently,
but not today ~ the gray and drizzly skies make taking
cheerful, bright photos a bit of a challenge, so I hope you'll bear with me.
Sometimes I hesitate cutting tulips because I love looking out at the color, but I cut these to enjoy at the table figuring it was better than letting them get beat up by the rain.
Decorative birdcage, holding a vintage milk glass
bird-on-a-nest themed candy dish, a candle and
yellow tulips.
I'm sure you all recognize the 'Bee' flatware (Neiman Marcus/Horchow.)

What a gorgeous table! The pop of the orange with the green and white is just stunning! LOVE those vintage sherbets and creamer, especially -- such treasures! Great photography!
Green is one of my very favorite colors. The table setting looks gorgeous :D
Just elegant, Mary! I love the green..
My L of the Valley are just starting to bloom. I love their scent..
A delightful Spring table!
This is just the most gorgeous spring table with the green dishes and bee glassware! The Horchow silverware is so wonderful with your place settings. Of course I love the birdcage and all the little details you have added. Just perfect!

Mari, This is a gorgeous table! It looks so refreshing and crisp. It was worth cutting your beautiful tulips. I love each place setting, so well put together.
The french vineyard camape plates look handpainted. So pretty. And I love the look of the glass sherbert glasses sitting on top of them.
When I saw the salt and pepper I was sure I was going to order it right away. Too bad it is no longer in sock. It is adorable on your table!
Beautiful job. Can I come for dinner?

Love it Mari! It looks SO refreshing!! I love your attention to detail!...I wanna come over! ;)
OH you have such gorgeous plates and decoration! Love it!
I, too, wanted the S and P when I saw them, so sad they are not available!!! Your table is just beautiful, I love the green and white and the splash of color in the tulips! The last of my tulips are getting beat up by the rain here:(. Thanks for sharing this lovely table, I really like the canape plates!! XO, Pinky

The table is gorgeous! I especially like the vintage green glassware. The photos look like they're straight out of a magazine too.
Gorgeous, gorgeous!!!

perfectly cheerful for a rainy day~ which we are having every week ourselves... talk about rust on the roses and iris :-(
Such a clean and fresh look, love the green & white. Your eye for detail is wonderful. I would like to sit at your table anytime!
:)
Beautiful tablescape. Beautiful photos. I'm so glad you brought in the tulips & used them on your table. The perfect touch.
Mari:
I just figured out how to post and wanted to comment on you Table Settings. I love all of them that I have seen and have a question for you. Where do you store all your dishes and beautiful glassware? LOL. I am always impressed with your posts. Wish I was as talented and had your eye for detail. This weeks is a breath of Spring time for sure. Alas, I am jealous. My tulips get eaten by the deer, bunnies, moles and whatever else is looking for a meal. Thank you for your lovely posts, I look forward to them. Judy in Ohio
Tout est si joli Mary~ Familiar sights too;)
Beautifully done~
Such a beautiful table. The place card holders are darling. Love the vintage sherbet. You make me realize I have to pull mine out! And the tulips add the final touch. Just lovely.

What a beautiful green tablescape. I absolutely LOVE the green depression glass. The tiny french canape plates are so pretty. Everything ties together so well.
Thanks for sharing,

Oh, and I'm so glad you chose to cut the tulips...so pretty and they add such a touch of elegance!
Your Birdcage is the perfect centerpiece. I love your glassware. Thank you for listing your sources. It's very informative and I've learned of new places to explore.
Je suis émerveiller à tout coup lorsque je passe dans ta chic cuisine:))xxx
So beautiful! I love your attention to detail and I have to say that the 'bee' flatware, tulips and S&P are my favorites!
I think this might be my favorite of all of your beautiful settings! LOVE the green and those yellow and orange tulips are a perfect pop of color!
This is really pretty! I love the green creamer and the dessert plates. The sherbets are great, too! Beautiful tablescape!
Beautifully done. Such inspiration.

There are just too many gorgeous things on your table! Love the glass bird in the nest, and the Smith and Hawken s and P! Did you ever go to the very original Smith and Hawken in Mill Valley? I loved it, and the huge shop/outlet in Berkeley.
Beautiful green & white table! Love the canape plates, vintage green glassware & raindrops on the tulips :-)
Hi, this is really another pretty table. So outstanding in this airy green and white. I like the delicate structure decorated plates, they are lovely. And surely all these nice glasses in diffrent green shades. So much nice details, for example the salt + pepper set. I love it.
Greetings, Johanna
I love this tablescape! The colors are so fresh. Great photography. Thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeous Mary!

I am so jealous of the "bee" flatware and goblets. I have seen those around blogland and just LOVE them. I used to live 30minutes from Nell's. Oh how I miss that store. What a wonderful table you have shared. Love all of it. Lori
Hi Mari...This is so fresh and beautiful...green is my favorite color so you know I LOVE this tablescape! Gorgeous pics as always...magazine worthy! :-) Always love visiting here! :-)
Everything is so lovely! I really like the ice in the glass--like lunch is about to be served.
Mari, holy sakes alive. Where do I start? There is so much I love about this. One, your photography! Hello. I need to take crisp, clear, great photographs like you. You are an inspiration! I am shopping for a new camera and I will need to ask you questions first.
Second, your artistry. I am just filled with...awe. And also, Smith & Hawken, I miss them. Don't you.
I just love, love this so much. I want to bring it up whenever I want to feel good. This is one of life's pleasures and beautiful table with people we love, because life is just too short.
Sorry, I forgot to add the vintage milk glass bird on a nest candy dish, Love it! I am going to hope I find one before I die. That is one of the cutest things ever.
OMG! This has to be one of the nicest tablescapes. I'm in love with it all. The beautiful flowers, the green depression glass, those darling placecard holders... but my heart skipped a beat when I saw the bee glasses and flatware. I have been dreaming about having those. You are sooooo lucky!
Oh my, I have to go take another look as this tablescape is wonderful!
Hugs,
Joanne
Good morning, just a note to let you know your green creamer is not pressed glass, rather it is depression glass and the pattern is Cameo. It's a beautiful addition to your wonderful table.
Regards,
Lorrie
FABULOUS! How I'd love to sit and have lunch with you at that gorgeous table! The birdcage makes a terrific centerpiece and I love all the colours you've put together with dishes and accessories! Very Spring-y!

Thank you for your lovely comments everyone! You are so kind to take the time to do so.
Perfect, down to the last detail. Very inspiring.

What a lovely table, Mari! I love the color combination of green and the lovely orange tulips. The small plates remind me of your beautiful painted cookies :)
I don't normally like green and white, but this was very pretty, and oh-so cheerful :)
