This solitary sunflower inspired our table setting this week. In May, several sunflower seeds were sowed in our backyard, and the squirrels did a happy dance proclaiming "Bon Appetit". All the seeds were dug up, except for ONE. So this was worth a celebration!
The table has been set to honor the solitary sunflower that brings much joy to our table. I also picked some Rudbeckia for the table. Most of my table settings are inspired by what I see out the dining room window in the garden. I added a Pfaltzgraff salad plate and Pinzon charger to complement the flowers.
The green vintage glasses are from Pier One, and have a floral design which reminds me of sunflowers. I posted about the great .44 deal I got on the glasses here.
I am blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. This sweet grapefruit sugar bowl from Anthropologie, with the sweetest of all bluebirds on top, was a birthday gift. Thank you Pam~

Debbie, what a lovely tablescape! Sunflowers are just so perfect for this time of year! Love all of your dinnerware and glassware! So colorful and happy!
ReplyDeleteDebbie~ I adore your MC pieces mixed with your celebratory sunflower! Your vase is stunning and I ADORE your colander :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cause for celebration, Debbie!! I was laughing about the squirrels munching away! Your colander is so pretty and I admire your rudbeckia. Your vase is wonderful in your favorite pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! Your tablescape is adorable! Love your MC pieces and your flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Debbie, you know this table makes me smile. The rudbeckia looks perfect with the CC pieces. I'm seriously coveting that vase. I think it needs to go on my "want list". ;-) ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteDebbie such a pretty table and I love the lone sunflower! Those green glasses are gorgeous. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteLove it, of course! Have you ever used your colanders for salad? The Pumpkin Hill Bistro, in Aurora, serves their salads in bright colored ones!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The flower is gorgeous as is the M-C vase! Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe MacKenzie-Childs pieces always hold court on any table...indeed, Courtly
ReplyDeleteCheck! I've been tempted to add the colanders to my collection, but I always want them to add a clear liner piece that would allow us to use them for salad, soup, or dessert. I keep thinking that I'll go find one, but I don't seem to ever get around to initiating the search. Your table base is spectacular! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
So pretty...I love the sunflowers this time of year. Your blog is lovely...thank you for visiting me the other day...Happy September to you..enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful MC table, Debbie. I love every bit of it!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, such a happy table setting. I love the way you described the squirrels doing a happy dance. They've done that in my yard many times. The one seed they left turned into a beauty. Love all of your MC, and that sugar bowl is so sweet. Have a good weekend. laurie
