Spring Tablescape #2. Cherry Blossoms

OK

This one is FREE!

If y’all have cherry trees in your yard.  

If not, call you cousin who manages a bank and tell her NOT to call the police when one of her employes sees you with your pruners in her parking lot.

True Story.

I am here today to preach the Gosple of ‘Cutting Rights’.  Personally, I have Cutting Rights all over my neighborhood. And all over Asheville, if I’m being honest.   Anyone who actually knows me in my private life knows very well that I REALLY enjoy fresh flowers and greenery in my home and I cannot not possibly grow all of the things that I love (I life in the woods). So I secure Cutting Rights when ever possible. 

Today’s case in point:

Cherry blossoms!

Except for the blossoms, I had everything you see here already in my home.

I have a collection of white ironstone creamers and pitchers you would not believe.  I use them for everything, not the least of which is for floral arrangements.  I love to do a collection of the creamers down the middle of my 90 plus inch dining room table.  I use whatever flowers and greens are in season.  

You can find the template for the daffodils in the center of each plate here:

The make cute placecards!

This silver compote and ladle are the last of my finds from our junkin’ day in South Carolina a couple of weekends ago.  I can think of about twelve things to do with this compote besides serve food out of it.  I’m thinking it will end up on my bedside table for jewelry.

I just love the details in both.

You can find the bunny ear napkin tutorial here:

It’s just a cute and fun little detail.   

The little ears will do better if you press the napkin after each step, IF you are that kinda Freak.  I am a LOT of things.  Ironing A Napkin Freak, is not on the list.

But knock yourself out if you want.

Two more for the road.

Happy Tablescaping !
