Yea, today is Tablescape Thursday. This is the day we get to play with all of our dishes, such fun. This wonderful event is hosted by the gracious Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch. Be sure to see another one of her gorgeous tablescapes and a list of all the other participants. I know you will be in awe at the gorgeous tables.
Today I am using the fun Chicken Wire Lantern Cloche that I found at Ross. I've decided to do a little vignette inside. I'm practicing for the upcoming "Cloche Party" in Sept. Don't forget to round up all of your cloches and be prepared to join the party.
I've used a tray that I also found at Ross to hold my little vignette.
A branch from the yard, a birdnest, a few tiny roses and a sweet little bird sitting in the branch. Looks like the little guy is watching over his eggs.
A couple of his bird friends are playing in the grass amid the ivy and roses. Two candles for ambiance and the tray vignette is complete.
It's already been up to 116 here, so I wanted to bring a little of the outdoors in. It is just too hot to be outside.
An overhead view of the table.
I used a tablecloth with tulips to help bring even more of the outdoors in.
Each place setting is set with Dollar Tree wine and goblet, everyday Rogers flatware, napkins from GW, Yellow Federal dishes from GW and rattan place mats that I've had for years.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Practice with those cloches if you have one, or continue the hunt if you don't. Our next party is just a little over a month away. Don't forget that apothecary jars qualify too. I can hardly wait to see everyone's creations. It's been a really busy week and I havn't been able to make all the rounds and thank everyone for your wonderful comments about my guest post with Kathysue. I was so thrilled to have her as a guest and she was really tickled with all the sweet and gracious comments. Thanks for giving her such a beautiful welcome.

Evening, Dear Marty! Oh, what a beautiful table you've set! Love your little cloche and you've certainly made it sing - especially with the little birdies! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your yellow dishes - so sunny. The tablecloth, oh so pretty!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a pretty and summery table you have for us. Just beautiful. I really love your yellow dishes. The centerpiece is just precious.
ReplyDeleteI had to miss the last cloche party..bwaaaaa... but am hoping to be able to join in on the next one. As soon as you get a button up for it, I'll put it on my sidebar..
Oh no, Mrty! Is the next cloche party on the 19th? Looks like I won't be able to join cause I am not home and won't be home till Aug. 1st. (unless I find something to buy that is not breakable here in FL) Anyway, love your vignette and your wire clothe. I wish I could find something like that. Been looking but haven't been successful.I also love your yellow plates, such a sunny and refreshing color!...Christine
ReplyDeleteMarty, your table, "mwah!" so pretty! Love the wire cloche and I will be ready in September, I just know, I'll find a cloche by then or come up with one that can pass as a cloche.
ReplyDeleteLovely table...
Those yellow dishes are such a beautiful shade and your centerpiece is just darling! Great use of your wire cloche! Your tablecloth goes so well with everything too.
ReplyDeleteDD
Marty, this is so pretty. Yes, we definitely have to bring the outdoors in this year as well, it has been crazy hot (or as in a line from one of my favorite movies "Biloxi Blues" - it's Africa hot!) I love what you did with the wire cloche! I really like that cloche alot. I may look for one - attempting to have the guest room done by September so maybe this will give me a kick in the pants lol. Hugs, Kat
ReplyDeleteThis is so outdoors and summery, Marty. The cloche is so cool--I still don't have one (or an apocothary, or those birdie s&p's).
ReplyDeleteYour tablecloth is so pretty. Love the yellow dishes as well. Wow, that is hot outside!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty table, great job!
ReplyDeleteMarty, this is so pretty. The wire cloche and birds are so special and make me smile. Your entire table is like a walk in the garden. Just lovely!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barb
Marty, this looks wonderful I love the texture of the placemats with the pretty yellow dishes and against the aqua it is just Yum!!!! Love you Kathysue
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your tablescape. Are those new dishes? Very pretty, they look so summery...is summery a word...Oh well, they make it look like summer has arrived.
ReplyDeleteYour cloche vignette is perfect. Love the little bird watching over the eggs. Your yellow dishes look great with all of the outdoor touches. Stay cool!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Marty. Sept. sounds better. I must have been looking at the June sched and thought it was July...Christie
ReplyDeleteVery cute Marty! That cloche. What a lucky find at Ross!! I love it when I find a treasure and walk out of the store just beaming with glee!
ReplyDeleteIt is HOT where you are. OK, so I'll stop complaining about our 102. But this weekend it's supposed to really warm up even more - UGH!
I am such a sucker for yellow. Those dishes are just wonderful.
What a nice post. Everything just looks "COOL". HA!
HAGD! Karen

How pretty! And whew! 116 degrees sounds excruciating. I remember traveling and staying all night in YUMA, AZ, and it was 112 at midnight.. I couldn't believe it! Love your stylin' ways. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty,
ReplyDeleteYour latest is charming! It's fun and filled with positive energy and, as others have said, the yellow dishes are wonderful -- so pretty!
I'm glad you decided to play inside --- 116!!!! I can't imagine what that must be like!
Warmest regards,
Bill
What a sweet little chicken wire cloche. I have never seen one like that, and I love it! Ross....we don't have one of those stores around here, but it sounds like a great place for lovely things. Amy:)
ReplyDeleteHi Marty,

Marty, That china is such a pretty yellow. I love what a soft yellow it is. I loved that cloche the first time I saw it, and you just keep making me want one of those. So pretty the way you did the centerpiece on a tray. You did bring the outdoors in, and it looks wonderful. laurie
ReplyDeleteGood job, Marty. This post could almost be Outdoor Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding Marty! Wonderful place setting and yes there is that little cloche that I didn't get out there to check on. I have had very little energy lately with all the changes they have made in my insulin dosages and such. My body is still trying to adjust. Love the glasses and plates. GW and Dollar Tree are such wonderful places to visit. Thanks for sharing. Country Hugs, Sherry
ReplyDeleteMarty...your centerpiece is beautiful! I love the wire cloche...I really need to stop into Ross more often! :-) Love the sunshine yellow dishes...yellow is one of my favorite colors so I just love your tablescape! You find the best deals! They look so great paired with the woven chargers. Thanks for another awesome TT! Hugs! Susan
ReplyDeleteI need your yellow dishes...Oops, I mean, they are so lovely! What a pretty table, love the cloche too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table Marty!! Love that yellow! Stay cool!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
Hi Mary! what a lovely tablescape, the yellow dishes go so well with your pretty table cloth. I love your centerpiece, very creative and inspiring! :O) Mary @Boogieboard Cottage
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table as always. I love the gentle yellow color or your dishes and of course, the cloche is to die for.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it? In all my travels, I've never bought a cloche. I'm going to have to rethink that error :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder, Marty! And guess what! I just bought a wire cloche from Marshall's for $10 and it's exactly like yours, I think, with a removable candle holder inside. I hope it does not break when I take it home...Christine
ReplyDeleteHow lovely as always Marty. Wish I had a cloche to be part of your fun sharing. Maybe I'll look for one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Twirls
How exciting Marty! So glad you are having another one in September! I love that time of the year! Putting your button on my side bar!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Maryjane
P.S. Marty I am having a difficult time saving the button to my computer. When I go to my pictures it just shows a blank picture. Tried three times. I will keep trying!
