For the last several years I’ve made a yellow table for May, but I wasn’t planning to make one this year. Then I find sunny yellow placemats in the store and knew it was again time for a May yellow table. I enjoy collecting vintage dinnerware at thrift stores. I have 3 salad plates in the Corelle pattern Spring Meadow which was made in 1977. There is something about the little pastel flowers which I find cheerful.
I went to Publix Supermarket for flowers as they have 3 bunches for $12. I was totally surprised to see a pretty bunch of yellow alstroemeria. I added white baby’s breath and two pink hydrangeas for a lovely bouquet. It looks great in my milkglass vase on a yellow placemat. I added my farmhouse salt and pepper shakers.
Each place setting has a white plate, Spring Meadow salad plate, cutlery, a white duck napkin holder with napkin, and a milkglass mug.
It’s a simple table and it makes me happy.
Thanks for the visit.

You have put together a pretty table setting from your vintage finds and items you already had in your store cupboard. The colour of the flowers match beautifully arranged in your milk glass vase.
