The blue and white bunting is a recent purchase from a vintage store in Eastern Washington. It’s double the size you see. I folded it in half to hang in this spot.
A cousin of mine was in Washington State and we invited her and her husband for dinner. The table was set with our Aunt Anna’s Blue Danube tablecloth and napkins. I added pewter chargers with a combination of blue plates since I don’t have 6 Blue Danube dinner plates. I used the Blue Danube tea pot, tea cup, and sugar bowl for vessels to hold my waning white hydrangeas. We enjoyed tri-tip, a favorite Russian salad of ours called vinaigrette and barbecued beans. We had a cucumber/tomato salsa for an appetizer and for dessert we had my Creamy Cheesecake. We were so engaged in conversation and catching up that we forgot to take any photos of the people who enjoyed all of this! Oye.
Linking up to Mosaic Monday with Maggie at Normandy Life.
We had a good weekend and are ready for a new week. There was an estate sale at my neighbor Pat’s home and I bought something to remember her by. I’ll share a photo soon of Pat’s Tea Trolley.
What a splendid coloring at your dinner table! I love!
I love this table setting, but, it makes me hungry!
Blue and white is always a winner in my book, love the Blue Danube pattern and the beautiful hydrangeas. Happy Mosaic Monday.
Such a charming tablescape. Love the bunting, too. Sounds like a delicious meal with loved ones.
Good morning, what a pretty tablescape. I love the blue and white dishes, very pretty. The food sounds delicious. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
I love blue and white and you are so lucky to have your Aunts Blue Danube. Happy Monday!
Your linens went beautifully with your blue and white theme!
What a pretty Table Ellen. The tablecloth is a perfect match. I’ve always been drawn to blue and white and I especially like your pewter chargers. I’d love a set of those. Did you find them at Goodwill? You have a good eye for spotting lovely things there.
Bev, the chargers were a gift from Josh and Laura that they found online somewhere.
There’s nothing more beautiful than blue and white china. What a gorgeous pattern. And if I was there, I would play the Blue Danube Waltz on the piano! Hugs, Diane
What a gorgeous table setting you have shared! Blue and white china is beautiful and I love it.
Those blue plates on the wall also captured my eyes. Happy new week!
I have never been a blue person, but recently that has changed as I’ve added blue to my wardrobe as well as my table. Yours is very appealing.
very pretty setting!
Oh so pretty Ellen!! Your menu sounds wonderful as well. Your hydrangea is perfect with this table setting.
Ellen, Love your blue & white tablescape. Love those patterns and slver chargers works very well. Thanks for sharing. Sylvia D.
Love your blue and white china. So beautiful.
You set a beautiful table! It looks so fresh with the white, blue, and pale green of the hydrangea. It is reading green to my eye, but perhaps it is more white. Whatever, it is lovely.
Your eye is right. As this white hydrangea ages on the bush it turns green.
What a beautiful table setting. I love almost anything blue and white. How special to have your aunt’s dishes. The meal sounds delicious, and I can imagine the conversation flowing so well that there’s no thought of photos.
