Tuesday's Tablescape (a day late)

Tuesday's tablescape comes a day late since our little birthday girl took top-billing in yesterday's blog!


Last week's lovely weather has packed-up and gone home, so we are back to hot and humid. Even though some of the flowers are winding down, I decided to focus on summer blossoms for the table.
 
I am borrowing these little floral trays  which were gifts to my mother from my great aunt and uncle. I'll bet she received them nearly 40 years ago. Although there are six in the set, I chose four of the most summery looking ones. The poppies and unidentified white flowers on the far left and the lily-of-the-valley on the far right are great accents for early spring.


 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
I needed a simple centerpiece, so I grabbed my orchid. It is down to one bloom now and has another bud. It has grown a new leaf and looks good. I am trying my best to keep it healthy! This is the one the PTO gave me when I retired.
 
Have a great day!
