Think Spring Luncheon


Tablescape Thursday has rolled around once again and I'm linking up with Between Naps on the Porch for this weekly event. Thanks Susan for hosting!


Click on button for link.

We have had such beautiful weather lately, I'm really in the mood for Spring and I am showing a "Think Spring" luncheon I hosted for some ladies last year.  My colours were pastel shades of yellow, green and pink.
 
I created a centerpiece using a nest with eggs, real pussywillows, some faux green apples and hydrangeas in a glass bowl.




I purchased two sets of these Gibson dishes at the Canadian Superstore a few years back, one set in yellow, one in green. The green handled flatware was from a local Pharmasave store.
 

Each guest got to take home the little birdie beside her plate.
  

Place settings were marked by little pictures of each guest in plastic frames.
We enjoyed mimosas while we waited for everyone to arrive.
For the appetizer, I made Mushroom with Wild Rice Soup.

For our entree, I made a cheese/pasta casserole with sundried tomatoes, a tossed salad with toasted pecans and balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a slice of homemade bread.

 

  Dessert was a strawberry lemon parfait.


 


 
I hope I have you "Thinking Spring" too!  Be sure to check out the other blogs linked to BNOTP for more ideas.

  22. This is a note to Tooprettytotouch - I tried to email you or leave a note on your blog but it wouldn't let me.

    When you click on the pics on my sidebar, they should take you to the post that I did on each one so you may have to scroll down a bit and see the other pics interspersed with the post. Hope that helps! (a couple of the pics don't have the "click on this to see more" and those won't work as I haven't done a post about them yet!) Thanks for looking!

  26. I'm so glad you commented on my tablescape post. This is the first time I have visited your blog. It is such eye candy. I scrolled down and looked at a lot of the tablescapes. I can never think of what all little decorations to include other than dishes and serving ware. I am going to follow your blog and I know I will get tons of inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.

  27. Your table is just so lovely! I love your use of yellow and green with little pops of pink. How creative you are - I love your centerpiece! I may have to copy that idea! You paid so much attention to every little detail. I'm sure your guest were just thrilled to sit and such a lovely table and your food looks marvelous.
    Thank you for popping in to see me.

  28. I love the pink and green, it so lovely. And the little bird is such an expresion of spring.
    Now I can hardly wait for just a hint of spring to arrive, it seems we have had such a long winter. And the picture of each guest is such a great idea I think I will use that at my next luncheon.
    P.S. Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

    Lovely spring table, and love that creative
    centerpc.- really wonderful, and candles at every place setting. I have seen those tiny salt and peppers and thought about getting some. Think I will the next time I see them, cause they look very nice on your table, and are quite handy.
