Tablescaping with Blue Willow

Welcome to the 28th Tablescape Thursday!

Recently I was asked where I get my inspiration for the tablescapes I put together. I’ve gotten this question before and truthfully, I’m not sure I have a good answer…the reason being because my inspiration comes from a different source almost every time. If you have participated in Tablescape Thursday a few times, you probably know what I’m talking about.

Sometimes it may be the china itself…perhaps it calls out for a particular theme…the way my beachy china does with its shell and starfish design. Other times, I might be inspired by something I stumble across in my home or while out shopping, that’s just begging to be used in a pretty table setting.

I was shopping at good ole Wally World right after Valentine’s Day and they had all their potted tulips on sale for $3 each. I don’t normally buy fresh flowers because I can’t bear to see them dying after spending, what’s usually a fair amount of money for them. But these were only $3…even I’ll go for that! Though, I was tempted to buy them in every color, I managed to restrain myself and only bought one pot. Once home, I spied a blue and white pot in my garage…perfect for sunny, yellow tulips.
Blue and White Flower Pot

As luck would have it, the tulips fit right down inside the pot…container and all.   They became my inspiration for this weeks tablescape.  Can you guess which china I chose?

Yep, you got it…easy choice…had to be the Blue Willow.

This tablescape is uncomplicated and classic…with its pallet of Blue & White…

Crisp, white, linen napkins fit beautifully with the clean, fresh look of this table setting…

Bet you recognize these little birdie salt/pepper shakers…I think every Blogger in Blogland has a set of these! (LOL) I’ve seen them on Shelia’s table (Note Songs)…ummm…let’s see…who else has these? I first spied a set at Judith’s, (Sweet Designs) and she was so nice to share where she found them, Target.  You just never know where you’ll find little treasures for your table. This is the first time I’ve gotten around to using them in a tablescape for TT.  I bought these last summer, but the last time I was in Target, they still had some…so it’s not too late to snag a pair.

Maybe we should have a “post your Target, white, bird, salt & pepper shakers day,” all across Blogland…wouldn’t that just be a hoot? We could throw Mr. Linky up and visit all the sites to see all the creative ways they were being used? 🙂 Ok, I’m off on a tangent…where were we? Oh, yes, we were in the midst of a tablescape. (Hee, hee.)

We’ve had quite the cold spell this week, even got some snow in…of all places, GEORGIA! So, I decided it was time for some homemade soup.  I love a hardy Vegetable Beef Soup and whenever I make it, I go a little crazy…you’d think I was cooking for a family of 10!   I pull out the big dutch oven and throw everything in…fresh celery, carrots, onion, potatoes…some stewed tomatoes, peas, corn, little butter beans…and of course good hardy chunks of stew beef from Publix. My soups tend to be heavy on the ingredients and light on the “soup.” I love a “stick to your ribs,” kind of soup…would that make it more of a stew?

You are having seconds, right?

  1. Susan, it all looks so pretty and how fitting to use tulips. I love seeing the little touches of spring popping up on the blogs. So refreshing.
    We are experiencing a glorious spring day here in Missouri. High of 75.

    Your soup looks identical to my mother’s, wishing I had some now, even with the warm weather.

    Hope you have a wonderful day,
    Shanda

  21. Susan (Between Naps on the Porch) says

    Angela…the tulips are REAL! 🙂 Promise! I had to toss them out today…they were pass their prime and tulips don’t hold over in GA…if you put them in the ground…you get nothing but foilage the next year…or at least that’s been my experience. Susan

  22. Blue is my favorite color, and the tulips sing “Spring!”, so I love this table.
    The nearest Target for me is 60 miles away, but I’ll be there next week, and I’m going to look for the birdies. :o)

  23. Well, I am bummed. I don’t have the birdie salt and pepper shakers! Where have I been?
    Love the blue and white. Very crisp and fresh…and tulips are so pretty!

  24. Susan… first let me commend you for buying only 1 at WallyWorld… great restraint… I have the same problem…

    second… your table is so beautiful. Love the touch with the napkins… and of course the yellow tulips with the blue and white… sublime…

    I’m missing Tablescape Thursday during my hiatus… but I’ll be back soon.

    Now… guess I’d better scoot off and see a few more lovely tablescapes! hugs. Dixie

    I love your yellow and blue together. Now I need to get myself to Target and get some birdie salt & pepper shakers! You must have gone to the same soup making school as my husband — we're always eating his veggie soup for weeks!
    See ya!
    Martha

  61. Susan,
    I adore your blue and white — SO classic! And now I’m going to have to plan a trip to Target (or tar-shay) to find those little birdies! 🙂
    xoxo,
    Mary

  62. Hi Susan..simple?…yes
    Stunning? a resounding YES!
    and add in the soup & we can call it perfect! 😉 Bo

  63. I love it Susan! I have a little bit of Blue Willow and it is definately one of my faves! You set this perfectly and with such a pretty glow. I am sure late getting to mine this week, I think i’m like numer 68. Wow are you popular! cindy

  64. So pretty. I love Blue Willow and the soup looks yummy! I have to get a set of those birdie S&P shakers. Blessings, Loretta

  65. Hi Susan,
    Love the yellow tulips – so classic with the blue and white.

  66. Your table is perfect. I love blue, white, and yellow together–so crisp and clean. I'm feeling left out. I don't have the S&P shakers :(. Thanks for hosting. I look forward to Thursdays!

  67. My favorite blue and white and tulips (had them in my wedding bouquets!)simply lovely.

  68. mmmmmmmm the soup looks wonderful!! And everything looks so beautiful!!! Again as always you do a fabulous job!!!

    Love Lilly

  69. Scribbler says

    Great minds run along the same track, “they” say…

    Blue and yellow inspired me, too, this week, although the yellow tulips in a blue and white pot were only in my head!

    Scribbler

  70. tardevil says

    I made a big pot of soup too after that snow. It warmed everyone up. Those tulips are gorgeous. Makes me want spring to get here ASAP! Blue Willow is always good!

  71. "Blossom" says

    Stunning a usual; this is so inviting and I too love soup that sticks to your gut!

  72. White Iris Designs says

    Love the combinatin of the blue & white with the touch of yellow. But…if you purchased the potted tulips at a cost of only $3, then YES you should have bought them in every color. I own a flower shop & I cannot even purchase potted tulips at that cost.
    You don't have to let the blooms dying be the end…plant them in your landscape in the fall & they will return to you next spring!
    I say if they still have them RUN back for more!!

  73. santamaker says

    First off, I’m running to Wally to get me some tulips! How pretty!
    Even though I looove using red as the accent with my blue and white, I have to confess, that nothing is prettier than this combination. Yellow and blue. So fresh. Susan, I love how elegant your napkins look, especially with the monogram!

  74. Fabulous as always.I ‘m really beginning to love that blue willow…oops!…Ann

  75. Just beautiful! As Always! Deb

  76. Blue and white — absolutely classic, and absolutely the best color combination!

    What a stunning and simply elegant table. And that stew looks scrumptious!

    (I have yellow daffodils on my kitchen ledge — the yellow does brighten up a winter landscape!)

    Cass

  77. Sherri S says

    Simply lovely! Tulips are my 2nd favorite flower. The white and blue with that splash of yellow is stunning. The birdies are adorable. Oh ya’ll so have me wanting more dishes and such to do beautiful tablescapes too! I have noticed I am putting more ‘thought’ into setting the table lately. My daughter and I even had dinner with candlelight this week; which was neat. As always, you inspire!

  78. Hi Susan-
    Joined Tablescape Thursday for the first time and enjoying it so far. Wow…there are so many creative and artistic tablescapers out there! I hope you get to check out mine, and thanks for hosting it.

  82. Glenda/MidSouth says

    So pretty! I was at WM the other day & was going to buy tulips and forgot. Yours are beautiful. The soup looks yummy! I always make hearty "its a meal" soups – they are the best. A great looking crowd at the get together – bet everyone had a great time.
    Glenda

    Warmly
    Alisa

  85. OOH I love tulips! Thanks for letting me join all you lovely ladies and your lovely tablescapes! This looks like so much fun! I hope it doesn’t get too addicting for me! haha

  88. Paula Bee says

    Dear Susan,

    Another beautiful tablescape! The blue willow is such a classic and I love your little salt and pepper shakers as well as all your tea lights. Very inviting! I can almost smell the delicious soup on the stove! Love, Paula

  89. once in a blue moon... says

  94. Oh, my…your tablescape is just beautiful and the stew looks delicious. ummm!
    Oh, and I have the Target Birds and just bought a set for daughter..
    hugs, bj

  95. I am late getting to here but so glad I didn’t miss it! Imlove the yellow tulips with the blue and white. A little hint about tulips in the south. If you dig them up and FREEZE them (they think they are “up noeth”:):) you can then replant them. I think if you google growing tulips you might get BETTER info! I just know a friend in Fl. always did this, I just don’t know when she replanted???? Love, Pinky

  96. Melissa Miller says

    Hi Susan,
    Love the pop of yellow with the Blue dishes.

    ~Melissa 🙂

  97. Momovthree says

    Such gorgeous tulips. The setting is simple beauty. That is a fun idea, a post to show all the bird shakers. I may be the only person in Blogland that doesn’t have them. They are too cute.

I would love to have a meal sitting at this table; it would be memorable, for sure. Wonderful job, my bloggy hostess. 🙂
    Blessings!

  108. Wow, you are sooo talented at decorating tables! It’s snowing here today in Canada, so I’m surfing lovely blogs to take my mind off it. I LOVE this table. I have a blue willow set from my Grandma. I used it the other day. Your yellow tulips are stunning in the blue pot. I love your Tablescape blogs. I find myself thinking of them during the week. I think I’ll have to become a follower so I don’t miss anything.
