the easter tablescape blues

Happy Saturday!

I’ve spent most of the day

Spring cleaning, decluttering the house

and rearranging my backyard furniture,

so it was fun to get back to my photos and

edit them today!

Over the last two weeks I’ve been playing around

with some different color combos that

accentuate my blue and white plates.

A few little kumquats look amazing  

contrasting the complimentary colors

in the tablescape perfectly!

My neighbor Susan has a kumquat tree with

probably tens of thousands of kumquats

on it right now!

She has so many that she actually

sells most of them to our local farmer’smarket.

Anyways, she was kind enough

to let me snip a few branches for my table.

Thanks, Susan! 

If you’ve never tried a kumquat,

you must, if you have the opportunity.

They’re little citrus fruits that you eat whole,

and they have a very sweet rind and are sour inside…

yum! 

A subtle contrast of baby blue also works well

with blue and white plates in the indigo color family.

White ranunculus in vintage creamers

soften the look of the table.

I was really flattered last week when

Home Goods shared my cabbage leaf table setting

on their instagram page!

I absolutely love how the cabbageware

looks with the gorgeous blue plates,

both from Home Goods!! 

Switching things up a bit,

with a few different accessories…

My brother-in-law, Rob brought me

these vibrant orchids last time he was over,

and I sprinkled a few flowers on the table

for a fun contrast in color!

The best of both colors really

comes shining through, 

don’t you think?

Same with the bright yellow daffodils and tulips…

so, which color combo should I go for on Easter?

ciao! fabiana
