Our beautiful spring weather the past few weeks has turned to snow today! I feel like I should be posting a winter table instead of spring!
This tablescape started out as blue and yellow. Then I decided it was waaaay too much blue, so started pulling out a few blue items and replacing with green. I preferred the blue, green and yellow color combination much better!
This table was set inside as the sunroom was just a little bit too cold this past weekend.
I picked up the April Cornell table runner awhile back -- impossible to resist it! I've seen the same print in other blog tablescapes and couldn't wait to use it in one of mine.

| Holly is peeking in the corner! Baseball game on the TV -- I enjoy the sound of a baseball game on in the background. Always feels like summer! |
 |
| I tried using the flash in a few photos as it wasn't very bright in the room. |
 |
| Filled the yellow bowls with lemons. |
 |
| Yellow bowls are lemons! |
 |
| Blue salad plates are from one of my two sets of everyday dishes. |
 |
| Dinner plate is a light sage green -- same color is in the table runner. Rattan chargers on round blue placemat. |
 |
| Little porcelain Foo Dogs came from my mother. |
 |
| Green goblets paired with the yellow/gold glasses. |
 |
| Accent plate matches the bowls. A few candies added to the butter dishes. |
 |
| Lemon plate matches the bowl. |
 |
| Sunshine finally started to stream in through the windows. |

| Table runner -- I just love this print! |

| Centerpiece is yellow silk flowers in a tall vase. |

| White ceramic Foo Dog. |

 |
| This sterling silver flatware has such a delicate flower! |
 |
| Candle holders are quite heavy. I picked them up with the intention of painting them but am happy I left them alone. For now anyway. :) |
 |
| Another shot of the table. |

| One more... the sun finally came out! |

Beautiful tablescape! I love it all, the plates are gorgeous and my fav is the white. The pretty runner picked the whole theme colors of the setting. I have a soft spot for dogs, so I love your white foo dog. Beautiful!

Your table is gorgeous, Carolyn. I love the blue, green and yellow color scheme! Your runner is absolutely beautiful! The flowers, lemons and candies in the butter dish are very sweet accents. I really love this.
I had to laugh...you sound like me. The sound of the ever present baseball games on TV!! A sure sign summer is here {or around the corner!!}.
XO,

What a beautiful table...love the colors!
Oh I love this tablescape! Blue and yellow are so beautiful together! Happy Spring!!
Carolyn, Your lemon tablescape is lovely. I think the way you mixed the colors, textures and patterns really works. Your color scheme is one of my favorites. Love how you used the lemons and the centerpiece is so pretty using the touch of ivy with the dainty yellow flowers.
Looks so pretty for spring. Hopefully your snow will disappear soon.....
Easter Blessings

Your table is so pretty -- day and night!

I love everything about this table, from that tall vase of yellow flowers in the centerpiece to the individual settings. Those specific shades of yellow and blue happen to be one of my favorite color combinations.
Those lemon shaped plates and bowls are perfect, and I love that you filled the bowls with lemons. I probably would have stuck one single lemon or something, and it just wouldn't have had the pop that the bowl full does.
Just terrific!
You brought sunshine to your table setting with those lemons...love that bright pop of color!
I love your tablescape. I did blue dishes with lemons too this week!
I can see why you couldn't resist that April Cornell table runner any longer - it is beautiful! You have accented it wonderfully with your lemon scape. Nice combination of colors and textures in your setting. I bet it smells good, too, with all those fresh lemons.
Tammy
Very pretty! Love the colour combo you've created based on that gorgeous runner! The lemons are the perfect accessory! I'm not a dog lover, but your little Holly is adorable!

Carolyn, I love the blue and yellow combination with the lemons and I have that same April Cornell print but in napkins. I like your Chinese Foo dogs and your choice of stemware. Thanks for the nice comment and I'm now a follower of yours,too.
Hope you have a very Happy Easter.
Babs
Beautiful and so refreshing!
Happy Easter, Carolyn.
This table is so fresh and inviting! I love the color combination. And I adore all the lemon accessories! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter! thanks for visiting me and following. Following you back!
What beautiful shades of Spring, Carolyn!
Your new runner is delicious as are all the unique pieces you combined for this great tablescape.
I really like the effect of putting a round charger on top of a round placemat. I've not seen that done before & it gives it an extra pop of color as well as texture.
Please tell me where you found those cute little butter dishes? What a nice touch for each person to have their own!
Your view of the lake is awesome, BTW
Happy Easter!
Hugs,
Rett
Back to say I'm your newest follower!
Just discovered your blog though another friend's blog. So glad that I found you. Your table looks so inviting. Sea Witch
Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations. What a refreshing table. I'm like you with baseball. I love having it on as often as possible! Who's winning? ;-)
Good choice to add the green of Spring. I always like the April Cornell linens...just have never found any that are the right size for my tables...some day. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Have a blessed Easter celebration. Cherry Kay
Carolyn, this is so beautiful. Hey, if it's snowing outside, you need a lovely reminder that spring is right around the corner. This table fits the bill perfectly!
I adore the lemon dishes!
You certainly brought the sunshine inside on your table So sunny and inviting. Love it! Don't you just love April Cornell? I have those same green sage dishes and I just love them.
