MIDNIGHT BLUE

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!

I tried to make our New Years Eve dinner special even though we celebrated at home.

The color scheme utilized shades of cobalt, gold and white.  Napkins were folded and held in a bow tie shape with beaded napkin rings.

My little snowman calendar reminds us it’s the last day of the year.     

                              

As we are all hoping for a little more happiness in 2021, I placed two blue birds of happiness on the table. Both were wedding gifts.

Fiesta dishes were used along with blue glass pieces, most of which were collected from rummage sales by my mom.

The gold clock, which serves as a centerpiece, is set to 11:59 p.m. It was a cherished wedding gift from my husband’s aunt and uncle.

Each blue goblet had a wristwatch around its stem.

I’ll Have A Blue Christmas (Without You) - COVID Christmas 2020

 

 COVID has left us all feeling a little blue.

Vintage Anchor Hocking white milk glass platters served as chargers. Wired ribbon was woven through the platter’s open border pattern.

Place settings featured Fiesta in periwinkle and lapis. The salad plates feature the snowflake decal - an exclusive from Macy’s.

Goblets were pastel blue bubble glass.

BLUE AND YELLOW

It's a brutally hot summer day here in the Midwest, but you know what they say - "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Maybe I took that saying a little too literally in creating this cool blue tablescape with yellow accents, but I love the results.

I used Fiesta plates, bowls and accessory pieces in cobalt, sunflower, marigold and ivory.  I got the blue goblets from my mom.  
I have had the glass cobalt luncheon (or bread and butter) plates for several years, and I'm not sure where I got them.  They remind me of depression glass.

 Each place setting featured a yellow wildflower tucked into the napkin ring.  

I saw a pretty blue and yellow tablescape featuring a lemon centerpiece years ago at a Tour of Tables event and have wanted to create my own version ever since.

Cold lemonade - so refreshing!

The table decorations included two glass bluebirds of happiness which were received from guests at our wedding twenty years ago next month.

Am I Blue?

The table may have been blue, but the diners weren't! 

This tablescape featured cobalt blue, periwinkle and peacock blue Fiesta dinnerware.  A periwinkle carafe served as a vase for white daisies.  Okay, so they were fabulous(?) fake flowers, but I also added some baby's breath from my garden.

I used cobalt bouillon cups for candle and toothpick holders.  I employed three stacked placemats as a table runner once again.
