Welcome to the 136th Tablescape Thursday!
Rain, rain, go AWAY. Come again another day. On second thought, don’t come back for a few weeks. We are water logged here in Georgia. How is it in your part of the country?
I am seriously craving some sunshine. Fortunately, my friend, Cornelia sent some all the way from Switzerland via a lovely table setting. Welcome to Cornelia’s beautiful dining room.
She has the table all ready for us.
You may sit wherever your heart desires.
The tablecloth Cornelia used for this table setting is custom made and is made from the same material as the lining of her draperies. The napkins are vintage.
The salad plate is by Herend/Osier.
The dinner plate is Saxon Flower by Royal Copenhagen. All the china is beautifully hand-painted.
The bread plate is by Nymphenburg.
The glasses are by Baccarat/France and the colored glasses are vintage and come from Bohemia.
The vintage glasses are all hand-cut crystal.
They truly are beautiful!
The cutlery is silver by Jezler/Switzerland. The pattern is called “La Reine” / The Queen.
The tulips are Parrot tulips and the vase is Meissen.
Sooopretty! A little sunshine on this cloudy day. 🙂
The figurines are all hand-made and hand-painted and come from Germany/Erzgebirge.
They are called “Flower Children” and are a symbol for spring. How cute are they!
A little candle light for our dinner…
Cornelia, thanks so much for having us into your lovely home. Everything was just magical!
Looking forward to viewing your beautiful tablescapes!

Susan,
Your friend Cornelia has set an exquisite table for us on your behalf. Please be sure to thank her for all of us! I admire how she placed the tulips at one end of the table so we could visit during dinner without an obstructed view, so thoughtful of her! Thank you for hosting this weekly meme. My participation is something I anticipate with great excitement!
Fondly,
Pat
What a gorgeous tablescape! I adore the Flower children. 🙂

A truly stunning table, and what a lovely room. Just 5 star all the way!!!
I don't see Mr. Linky???? Or any links?????
Cornelia's dining room is a wonderful space. Oh, to have that kind of room for a long table and those extra pieces of furniture. What a gorgeous spring table! Love the exquisite hand painted china, the sweet little "Flower Children", and those parrot tulips. Thanks for sharing more of Cornelia's elegant home. ~ Sarah

You can send us some of that rain you are having. It tried yesterday, but hardly enough. 😉
Corneila's dining room is lovely, she is so generous to share with us all her beautiful things. I fell in love the green goblet, wow! I would love to have a dining room this size to play in each week. :-)) hugs ~lynne~
Susan, I love everything about this table from the Royal Copenhagen (stunning!), the Meissen, the Baccarat, and the adorable little flower children to the pink tulips. It's lovely and so perfect for spring.

I would love to have a dining room and this one makes me want one even more! Beautiful table! Love the little figurines and the tulips!
Susan,
What a beautifully set table your friend did for you!! It is so elegant. I love those cut glass goblets, I used to see those all the time when we lived in Germany almost 40 years ago! and loved them then!!

What a great dining room! I love the china. It's similar to my great grandmother's china. Beautiful tablescape!
I have lived in Europe and Cornelia's dining room takes me back. It is just that beautiful and I can assure you that if she were having a dinner that night it would be as wonderful and full of laughter and conversation as her table is ready to receive it's guests. Truly a delightful opening to my day.Thank you!
Love the tulips and the collection of vintage cut glass crystal! Happy SPring and thanks for hosting Susan!

I just love Cornelia's tall green goblets and the vase for the tulips. So pretty. Thanks for the wonderful party each week, I know it takes a lot of work and especially trying to visit those who posted takes a lot of time. It is always soooo fun.
Jacqueline
This is just amazing! The whole presentation is beautiful, but the cut glass wear and that vase is simply to die for. This is my favorite blog linky part. If I don't have something I visit anyway. I look forward to it every week. Thank-you so much, it's very inspiring.
