I think the theme for today is mix and match and layers for a lovely and unique table.
I am delighted to join some friends for a tablescape event today. I started with an antique homespun linen sheet as my tablecloth. They are rustic and usually have a seam straight down the center.
Then I went with my new to me blue (made in France) dishes. This Spode blue dish shown was made in England, but I adore the color of the this plate. The little tureen is vintage.
See that cup? It’s so charming. I moved a few bread boards in here that I had sitting around. The one in front is from my shop, and I have just a few left. (First come, first serve)
The vintage French dish (hand painted) sits on top of a blue and white dish. (Nikko discontinued) on top of a plain white dish.
The silverware is old hotel silverware from the Fontaineblue. Look at that detail!
The lemon and cherry soda is from France. I found it at World Market (not sponsored just sharing a good resource.)
If the flowers look super casual, it’s because I cut them from my yard. I so enjoy bringing in flowers when I can. The crystal is Lenox Charleston.
Most of these vintage items like this yummy pitcher are from thrift stores.
I’ve learned to look the other way if I see a chip here or there.
And that’s the table. It’s hard to get a good shot with my camera when I have a mirror in here, but the bread boards blocked me.
I’m joining with 6 other bloggers to bring you this monthly tablescape series.
I invite you to enjoy the wonderful posts below celebrating spring at the table…

Gorgeous, Anita! You have such a wonderful collection of goodies and you blend them together so effortlessly!
Beautiful table setting, Anita! LOVE your silverware. I’m going to have to be on the lookout for vintage flatware when I scour the flea markets this summer!
Such a lovely table setting, Anita! The hotel silver is stunning, as are so many of the details. I love the blue and white dishes and the floral is delightful… 🙂 But most of all, you inspired me to finally order the bread board I’ve been wanting for a while!! So, you now have one less in your shop… 😉
Thanks Lory! I saw that, and hopefully you’ll be getting it soon.
I love all your vintage pieces and how beautifully they come together in this tablesetting. I agree with Lori–that silverware is amazing! I would love to find some vintage flatware like this!
Such a pretty table setting….love your bread boards…..
love the table settings they are so pretty.
Love how you mixed and matched. The darling little blue pitcher and silverware, so beautiful………
Delectable!! Doesn’t World Market just have the best selection of “soda”…always a treat!! franki
Just beautiful! I am late to the party as I was away…but your table is fabulous, love every single detail!
I love your bread boards!
Love the look of mixed and matched pieces. I love to use vintage with new pieces, found objects with natural elements, mixes of metals or prints, etc… I am not into going into one store and buying the entire tablescape! I love the more personalized style that you have shown! Love your home!
Love those bread boards!!
I LOVE tablescapes! My sorority (we’re a bunch of 50+ somethings – more like a service club operating with the mission of a sorority and sisterhood) hold a fall event and the focal point are the judged table settings. Thank you for the beautiful pictures and stories behind the pieces!
Blue and white is my very favorite! In so glad I kept my mother-in-laws blue willow pattern. It’s so old there is no markings on the back.
I love the little adds like the blue pitcher. I found a green one at a thrift store and use it constantly. Great resource for little touches.
The lamps on the buffet are too cute, too!
Did you add paint? If so, what paints, colors???
Such pretty and relaxing table!
Love the mix of rustic with china. What really draws my eye is the Lamp shades. Lovely
Beautiful I always love seeing what you have to share with us God bless
All lovely. The blues are very fresh.
