Come on out on the porch! Tonight we are traveling back to the 1960s. We will be dining at a retro tablescape...inspired by a ceramic lemon tree that once belonged to my sister's, Mother-in-Law. We don't throw anything away in this family...just pass it right on down! :)
I have a little surprise for you. In addition to pics, I'm taking you out on the porch so you can see the table setting for yourself. :) I've created a little video of this week's tablescape. Please leave a comment letting me know if you enjoy walking around the table with me...and if you would like to see videos more often. Hope you don't need a translator for my southern accent. LOL Oh, I started talking a bit too soon, so the first words that got cut off are, "Hi Everyone." :) Hope you enjoy!

Don't you just love this lemon tree? It has little white daisies tucked in between...you would think it had been created just for this china!
China is by Metlox...from their Poppy Trail line. Pattern is Sculptured Daisy.
Sculptured Daisy...it is a raised pattern and is as much fun to touch as it is to view.
See the daisies? :) Normally, I would place some greenery around the bottom to hide the overturned bowl I'm using to raise the centerpiece. I left it uncovered for this tablescapes so you could see this little trick. :)
Usually the coffee cups wouldn't be on the table at the start of the meal...normally brought in with dessert. But this is a casual tablescape...no rules this evening...just fun.
For what purpose do you think this would be used? The top is attached to the underplate...the way you see with gravy bowls. Do you think it's a gravy bowl? A vegetable bowl? A planter? I'm not sure but I think I would use it for either gravy or veggies.
Stemware is from Pier 1...
Thanks so much for stopping by! Looking forward to seeing your wonderful tablescapes!
