It’s the first day of May and we’ve been having wonderful weather the last few weeks. This year we have actually had spring! Yeah! All too often Florida goes from winter straight into hot, humid summer with little in-between. About 10 days ago a storm blew in from across the Gulf and brought slightly cooler weather. One day with a high in the 60’s followed by 5 days with highs in the 70’s. I’ve been smiling the whole time.
Today I’m celebrating with a sunny May table with a bouquet of hydrangea and yellow tulips. I can’t really grow either of them and bought them at Publix supermarket. They have small bouquets at 3 for $12 and I went crazy for the soft colors.
My tablecloth is a thrift store find in yellow. The vase is in a rustic old wooden tray – another thrift store find. I filled the tray with small green plants and yellow lemons.
My place setting starts with a white plate and topped with a vintage salad plate with spring flowers. The last layer is a green Depression sherbet glass.
The striped napkins are in vintage goose napkin holders.
I tied white cord around the glass base and I’m done.

Happy Mayday! That is indeed a lovely, sunny table! I especially love your centerpiece and those flowered plates are so cheerful!
thanks Jeanie – hope your day is blessed!
What a beautiful and cheerful display! I love hydrangeas, I have a few in the garden.
I always love seeing your thrifty finds too. It just goes to show that you don’t have to spend much to get fabulous results. #MMBC
It’s funny you should say that about thrifty finds – one of my goals in doing posts on decorations is to prove you don’t have to have lots of money to have a pretty place.
I love the light-colored hydrangeas. I’m used to seeing blue or purple ones. And the yellow tulips with the hydrangeas make such a cheerful, Spring bouquet! Happy May!
I fell in love with the hydrangeas in the store. Lovely soft pastels. Happy May!
Lovely table setting! Our hydrangeas are beginning to set blossoms! Spring is slow in the Pacific Northwest!
I’d give anything to be able to grow them!
Beautiful bouquet and table settings. I used to live in South Florida, so I know what you mean about going directly from winter to summer, bypassing spring. I’m glad you’ve having a lovely May.
Happy May Sandra!
It’s a really beautiful spring setting! Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers
It’s one of my favorite flowers too. Thanks for coming by!
Such a lovely presentation! We are still grey and rainy here, so this was a definite mood brightener. You have a real flair for decorating, Carol.
You’re so kind Debbie – wishing you bright, sunny days!
What a lovely bouquet of flowers to brighten up a table X, #mmbc
It just snowed here in Colorado! I’m ready for some nice spring weather. Those flowers are delightful! #outdoorsymommy.com
Love all the yellows (my favorite color). They make a table look bright and spring-y! So pretty.
