Yea, thanks to Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch for hosting this wonderful meme, it's time for another Tablescape Thursday, one of my favorite days. Also thanks to Leigh at Tales From Bloggeritaville for hosting Thrifty Thursday. Be sure to visit their blogs to see their wonderful tablescape and treasures, plus all the others that are participating.
Today, I decided to use a few things that are my latest GW and Dollar Tree finds and do a Country French blue and yellow tablescape.
Since we just got back from vacation, I just shopped the house for a lot of blue and white things and mixed them all together.
I had two different blue and white candlesticks and some yellow and blue candles and they work really well together.
I borrowed the pitcher of yellow and white tulips off the coffee table for the centerpiece.
There's a mix of dishes with a yellow tablecloth and blue placemat.
The dark blue glasses I found at the GW and the blue stemmed ones are the famous Dollar Tree glasses.
I had a pair of the Michael 80% off sale birdies, so I've used one on each side of the pitcher for a little whimsy.
I found the precious blue and white tea light holders at Dollar Tree. They had two different patterns so I bought some of each.
The bright yellow of the tulips and candles always looks so good with the blue and white. It just looks so fresh to me and very frenchy.
A view of the placesetting. Don't you just love the cute little rooster napkin rings. They were a find on Ebay. The napkins were on the clearance aisle of Home Goods and have such a lovely floral pattern.
The salad plate I found at GW months ago. The pattern is Philippe Richard - Brentwood.
The dinner plate was a recent GW find and is Melody - Myott Fine Ironstone England.
The charger doesn't have anything on it. I found them at Home Goods. I've also used my everyday Rogers flatware.
Another view of the entire table. I always have such fun doing these tablescapes, because I never buy something especially for a tablescape, I just buy things I like and then try to use them in different ways. That makes it so much fun.
Be sure to grab the "Show us Your Roosters" and the "Cloche Party" buttons on my sidebar and plan on participating in both events. Just click on the buttons for details. Join the fun, you will have a ball.
Thanks for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits and hope you will stop again soon.

I have only been to one once and my husband was waiting in the car so I didn't have long!! The candleholders look like family heirlooms!! And the little birds are 100% better than the Target birds!!!!
Have a great week, my friend! :-)

Hiya Marty!!
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is (once again) just fabulous! I LOVE the blue, white and yellow theme. My eye really went to those darling little blue and white tea light holders and was reading and reading hoping you'd say where you got them (what's "GW" by the way?)and I was astonished to find out you got them at Dollar Tree!! Was it recently? Because I am dashing out to check it they're in my store!! Everything is just lovely!
Great job!!
Blessings!
Myrna
Marty, your table is stunning. There is something about blue and white that is so timeless and the candleholder with the yellow pillar takes my breath.....oh, I love that!!!!!!! Everything is just gorgeous.

Marty, I just love the blue and white with the yellow. It's so fresh and yes Frenchy. It's no wonder you love to "play with dishes", you are a natural at this. And I bow to you, the bargain hunting queen lol! I was going to say that Debbie will flip over this, but I see she's already popped over. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Kat

Stunning tablescape Marty - you've used my favorite color scheme - blue and yellow. I'm on such a Country French kick these days. I can't seem to get enough books, magazines with pictures of CF furnishings and decor -i love it!
ReplyDeleteI love a blue and white table. And the touch of yellow just makes it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many of us in blogland, go around shopping in our homes??? At least we're not spending money!
Rhonda
Beautiful tablescape. I luv the yellow & blue. Connie
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and yellow look of 'French country' but I've never brought that look in to my house for some reason? I will live vicariously through you and pretend I'm coming to dinner ;)
ReplyDeleteI just did my first Tablescape today, pop over if you get a chance.
Hugs Denise
That is a beautiful table!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love GW and the $$ Tree? I know I do!

Hi Marty,
ReplyDeleteIt all looks fresh, and French, and lovely! You did a beautiful job as always. The napkins are so pretty, and they tie it all together very nicely!
Hi Marty..
ReplyDeleteLove the table, all your pretty accents! These are the colors of my everyday dishes..
I think I have cured my redirect problems. It was in one of the counters.
I have started to add back my blog roll..you are back!
Beautiful, Marty. Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just passed an award on to you and the other dear ladies I had lunch with at Gooseberries.
Hugs,
Charlotte
Hi Marty, I'm late coming over...your table looks beautiful! I love the Blue and white CH's! What a great job you've done!
ReplyDeleteI like your layering of the different patterns of white plates. The candlesticks and glasses add that punch of color to make this such a pretty table setting & tying in the yellow with the tulips and napkins works so well,too. All so French country chic.
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
Marty - I love your tablescape! And thanks for the heads up on the little blue and white votive holders. I ran right over to my neighborhood Dollar Tree and found the same ones. I bought six of them yesterday in the two different patterns! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your blues and whites.
ReplyDeleteMarty what a beautiful tablescape. I feel like you can never go wrong with blue and white.. Your chargers are incredible.. and the blue stem glasses are gorgeous... Thanks for swinging by to see Mr.P on his tractor.. those days are far and few between so I try to capture as many as I can... I hope all is well your way..
ReplyDeletehugs ~lynne~
Hi Marty, I'm late again! Your table looks fabulous! I think you have really found a niche here with the tablescapes and you seem to enjoy doing them. I have not done one for a long while .....I don't have that many different pieces of china....and no GW with all the great finds! I like the blue and white a lot! Have a great weekend! Hugs! Luanne
ReplyDeleteLove the tablescape! Blue and white and blue and yellow are my favorite decorating colors.
ReplyDeleteblue and white is so classic...I like the way you pulled out those colours...looks like you are alwasys keeping your eyes open!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Michelle
Good grief! I would think I had died and gone to heaven if I found plates like those at Goodwill! This tablescape is absolutely exquisite, Marty. Really, really beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table, but then again I have never saw any of your tablescapes that were not perfect and beautiful . I love the chargers and all the blue. I can't believe you found so many things at GW and Dollar Tree, I must be doing something wrong, I can never find anything that nice at our Dollar Tree and GW.
ReplyDeleteSandy
