Botanic Garden Tablescape

This is my favorite tablescape I have done yet!  This is my china set, the first and only set of fine china I have and I love every piece.  Every one is so different and beautiful.  Most of the pieces I got as gifts, others I found at an auction.  The set is called The Botanic Garden by Portmeirion.


The tablecloth is borrowed from mom and the flowers are right from our front yard.


I love the little surprises you find on each piece, like the butterfly hiding on the back of this coffee cup.



This heart dish is one of my favorites!








Don't forget to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see more amazing tablescapes, Susan's china collection and her incredibly organized pantry!!

  6. Just beautiful! I've always loved that pattern, and you've set a gorgeous table with it. Great idea, to use flowers from your yard to echo the wildflowers in the pattern!
