The Lemon Brunch at the Junction

I'm almost positive this has happened to you. You're in the store, something catches your eye and immediately you begin to think of a Tablescape! See, I knew it!
So, I'm sure you will understand how the little napkin rings shown in this post inspired this table setting for brunch.
I was captured at first glance by their little lemons accented by the blueberries. The little green leaves just spoke of spring, and even though I'm no "foodie" all I could think of was blueberries and cream, maybe even some lemon bars. So, home they went with me!


I began with a soft yellow tablecloth
so the deep blue chargers
(which are probably the biggest I've ever seen)
would be a standout anchor.


I then stacked a yellow scalloped charger from CTS, followed by a plain navy blue dinner plate
and a blue rimmed salad plate
from the J.C. Penney American Living collection.


I just loved the pattern of this salad plate, and
although the soup bowl is not from the same collection,
 it accents the pattern quite nicely,
and I love, love, love paisley!



Inside the bowl is a beautiful paisley sprig.
The napkins, also from the J.C Penney
American Living collection
are amongst some of my faves!


To the right is a sugar and creamer
 that has been around for eons -
they are from Crabtree and Evelyn


I think their casual style works well with this setting.
No matchy-matchy here.
 I've tempted the designer gods
and added yet another pattern!


This is my attempt at creative floral design.
Getting those leaves to stay put
was a test of my patience!


I think I must have a thing for pitchers.
If you've visited before,
 you know I seem to have
one to match every tablescape!


Whatever - a girls gotta have a vice
and I just love how it sets off my
inspiration piece - the napkin rings!
Which by the way are from BBB.


In this pic you get a glimpse of
all the accents together.


Another old piece; this butter dish is from
 the Block Country Orchard collection by Gear.


Are you inspired by the little things?
They can sometimes lead to
lovely Tablescapes!

Thanks for dropping in for my take on the Lemon Brunch.
I just love your visits and comments - they keep me going!

  1. I'm definitely like you and inspired by some little things.

    The lemon napkin rings were a perfect inspiration, too. I really do love this table. My favorite two parts are the fabulous lemon pitcher and those blue chargers.

    But really, it's the vision of the whole table that I love.

    Great job!

  2. Oh yes! I am always spotting something that I think would turn in to a tablescape. :) Hey ~~ not fair...I just purchased four lemon napkin rings from PB and they didn't have the pretty blueberries like yours. I do love a blue and white table. You have done an outstanding job with yours. I love the Americana secion at Penneys.
