The gentle breezes of Spring are finally here. The snow is all gone and the bitter cold is only a memory. The landscape is now replaced with green grass. The small green buds on the tree is subtly making it's statement that Spring has finally arrived and more warmer temperatures are just around the corner. Small signs of the change of the season is everywhere. It is a welcomed sight.
To celebrate the turn in seasons from the harsh and brutal winter's end to the soft, gentle arrival of a colorful Spring, the Little Yellow Corner Store created a Spring tablescape which reflects the faint, suggestive and inconspicuous first signs of Spring. The quiet, delicate sweetness is evident in this tablescape designed to represent the subtleness and unobtrusiveness of the start of the season. The pale blue color of the Minton china with the intricate scroll designs exemplify the quiet and peaceful entrance Spring makes. Perhaps it represents the beautiful blue of the clear Spring skies. The china contrasts beautifully against the stronger turquoise blue of the tablecloth, which could certainly be a reminder of the stark, blue-green waters of the Caribbean.
A yellow and white floral centerpiece adds to the table like the bright sunshine of the Spring sky and competes for your attention from the soft blue colors of the china. Little sprigs of Lily of the Valley tied by a yellow bow is placed at each placesetting to harmonize with the yellow tulip and white peony centerpiece. (It is a faux Lily of the Valley since our real plants are not yet fully grown yet.) The set is placed on beautifully crocheted white placemats.
The evening sun enhances the beauty of the tranquil colors. It makes the contrasting yellow floral centerpiece stand out among the whisper of the other rich colors.
