Tablescape Thursday~French Blue Tablescape

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday, hosted by our lovely Susan at her blog, "Between Naps on the Porch". It's been a while since I have posted a tablescape but I should have more time now that Dear Son is getting better and has returned to school.

This week's tablescape is a lovely french pattern made by Arcopal. The pattern has been discontinued for many years now. I found the dishes on eBay and fell in love with them. They had five place settings, or partial place settings for a song. While they photograph very well, they are shall we say, less than substantial, in person. Regardless, with the frilly feminine scalloped edging and pretty blue and white color, you can not help but love this pretty little pattern.

I added some pretty little crystal goblets and a white, lattice basket to complete this tablescape. A pretty powder blue chiffon ribbon on the basket adds a feminine and elegant touch.

The centerpiece consists of etched glass bowls with orange gerber daisies. I chose orange because it contrasts with the blue and white making it stand out.
Candlelight, a white linen tablecloth and pretty white birdies complete the tablescape.

I did this tablescape for a small impromtu luncheon and liked it so much I snapped a few pictures so I could share it with you.

A few more pictures of the tablescape.

You may notice that I don't have any pictures of the entire tablescape with my signature Louis XV gilded mirror, that appear in my other tablescapes. (Click on tablescapes in my sidebar to see this mirror.). Unfortunately, I was having some lighting problems that day and I could not get a good picture of the tablescape and the mirror.

While researching some lighting options on the internet, I could not help but notice this Alderson Court Gilded Medallion by Murray Feiss. I think it would go perfect with my gilded mirror. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and they installed the sprinkler six inches from the center fixture. Here is a picture of the medallion. I think it is just beautiful.

I hope you have enjoyed my French Blue Tablescape! You can see more tablescapes at Susan's blog.
