Springtime Table With a Daffodil Centerpiece: Welcome to the 182nd Tablescape Thursday!

It was another warm day today so the pull of the porch won out again.

All this warm weather we're having has me thinking spring.  This table setting would work well as an Easter tablescape with its springtime colors.

The breezes stirred the sheers on the porch as I photographed this setting.  I couldn't resist snapping a pic through the wind swept sheers.

If you have a really large serving bowl in the pattern you're using, or a bowl that coordinates with your table, consider using it as part of your floral centerpiece.

I have daffodils blooming in the yard but not wanting to dig those up, I found these at Home Depot.  They were inexpensive and will transplant into the garden nicely once they are no longer blooming.

I've used the napkins before in THIS table setting.  They were a gift from a friend years ago.

This china, Ma Maison, by Tabletops Unlimited is one of my favorite patterns, if not my very fave. 

The pattern includes all the things I most love: gardening hats and clogs, beautiful flowers, kitty cats, picket fences, garden benches, watering cans and a house surrounded in wisteria and flowering vines.  Please, may I move in?

Inside the bowl you'll find white fluffy clouds against a blue sky and a pretty bouquet of flowers tied with a lavender ribbon.

The salad plate is Ma Maison by Tabletops Unlimited, designed by Darrio Farrucci.  The sunny-yellow dinner plate is Colorwave "Mustard" by Noritake.  It worked nicely with our daffodil centerpiece.

Iced Beverage glasses are from Pier 1 and were used previously in THIS "corny" table setting.  Wine glasses were a recent find at Dollar Tree.

You'll find another table set with Ma Maison HERE and HERE.

Tip:  As tempting as it might be, try to resist cutting off the foliage once your daffodils stop blooming.  The foliage soaks up the good nutrients from the sun and feeds the bulb so it will bloom beautifully again the following year.  Once the foliage turns yellow and starts to die back, that's the time to tidy up and trim it away.

I didn't intensify any of the colors in the photos with photo editing software.  The flowers were just so vivid!  I potted the daffodils into a large Ma Maison serving bowl and added decorative moss on top for a finished appearance.  In the past, I have used the cookie jar and tea pitcher in this pattern for table floral arrangements HERE.
