Blue Monday/Tablescape Thursday


Since my tablescape this week has a lot of blue in it, I thought I'd do a double post for Blue Monday, hosted by Sally at Smiling Sally, and Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Please visit their lovely blogs for more participants for these events.

Recently Mr. Maison not only bought me some new patio furniture, but he painted it too. We originally thought we'd go with a green, but then decided we'd use this pretty, cheerful blue.

Found this pretty blue pitcher with coral and shells. I figure I can get a lot o' miles out of this baby...
I used my Lenox Chirp napkin rings, in keeping with the bird theme...

Okay. Hold on to your hats! The dinner plate and salad plate are PAPER! From Pier 1, no less. Aren't they so cute?
The blue Target bird cousins showed up for this event...
