Lightening the Table with Spring Touches

Even though there is still snow on the ground (we got another 2 inches overnight) I am LONGING for Spring so decided to lighten up the table with some Springtime touches. Birds and nests say Spring to me and also fresh herbs. In this case my herbs are depicted on my plates! So, I combined all those elements for a new table setting.I didn't do a huge stack of dishes. I started with a very plain tan tablecloth, then a rattan placemat that is trimmed in green. I am sticking with "Spring Green" as my color base for now.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6tNCRwxT9vQNMUIPiaKVHvFSqrhVunUSHVCVOSSGiSErNma-kFglTw2wDNrs0jvI64y4q-BLd_sQyRP3GworPRzapp0Jgcm-mp4ENdUkY6rDNFbRhT0r8i828fMKhqh21knKCIMFV7dI/s1600/IMG_0059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6tNCRwxT9vQNMUIPiaKVHvFSqrhVunUSHVCVOSSGiSErNma-kFglTw2wDNrs0jvI64y4q-BLd_sQyRP3GworPRzapp0Jgcm-mp4ENdUkY6rDNFbRhT0r8i828fMKhqh21knKCIMFV7dI/s1600/IMG_0059.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I used a square white plate with a brownish edge, then a square green plate, one of my herb plates and a footed bowl.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgAEdEt_yef_BoEzRl3fX-KiVhhNsmdsF8djaSu0GRo7y69akUj01JZJGRVKxuvDHsbxab1PIylZDPd10s-Vlim6RQFJM2dcjkMMhJXlcrs2-eGFslVihOanS36MhbOtkt4v9PkLmdtjM/s1600/IMG_0061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgAEdEt_yef_BoEzRl3fX-KiVhhNsmdsF8djaSu0GRo7y69akUj01JZJGRVKxuvDHsbxab1PIylZDPd10s-Vlim6RQFJM2dcjkMMhJXlcrs2-eGFslVihOanS36MhbOtkt4v9PkLmdtjM/s1600/IMG_0061.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> All topped with a simple napkin in a white ceramic ring.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVH7oTfdrhqygb7MGyWckdmyQBv4OJH86puIcZhmhqryFVFKxrMOGFtOMgdQShMLb-iuukszkDernWe1FQ0VzlGK3fGemICe56MSnRuvV0DBw2puSBz6hb7UYmNB6zc5U1u8-S8oLocxg/s1600/IMG_0062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVH7oTfdrhqygb7MGyWckdmyQBv4OJH86puIcZhmhqryFVFKxrMOGFtOMgdQShMLb-iuukszkDernWe1FQ0VzlGK3fGemICe56MSnRuvV0DBw2puSBz6hb7UYmNB6zc5U1u8-S8oLocxg/s1600/IMG_0062.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGL3AA8SO6mdjgvKc-E7VcW9_tLtGK-dQSV8uTpa4To-UKtkuPWHrYmX5IMYai3TvaOhcFu96sj2xs4wogYHacuxLk5PiadMG9vHg9DnPg_If9l7FwKz-yd2TbHH_B3kmPliqPIexzkYs/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGL3AA8SO6mdjgvKc-E7VcW9_tLtGK-dQSV8uTpa4To-UKtkuPWHrYmX5IMYai3TvaOhcFu96sj2xs4wogYHacuxLk5PiadMG9vHg9DnPg_If9l7FwKz-yd2TbHH_B3kmPliqPIexzkYs/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I also decided to mix and match my flatware, "just because" as Pat would say:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy9-rI3a92zrqmQNi0qWzWDfa5vKGw5McUst51l_KdgfiwiSa2lOXFRUnjC3xN1wZ9GLiUNskbSCT-XH01R23QlgREEQ58u-UpDX5TxekE0qdUEiLbKJMU5YGw0DzIAwnbcTgyfl3ovfQ/s1600/IMG_0066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy9-rI3a92zrqmQNi0qWzWDfa5vKGw5McUst51l_KdgfiwiSa2lOXFRUnjC3xN1wZ9GLiUNskbSCT-XH01R23QlgREEQ58u-UpDX5TxekE0qdUEiLbKJMU5YGw0DzIAwnbcTgyfl3ovfQ/s1600/IMG_0066.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I just received these adorable bird S and P as a gift.
