Easy Spring Herb Table

I enjoy changing out my tablescapes. Sometimes a little change can go a long way when you're busy. I have an easy spring table to share today---it's pretty and doesn't take much time to put together. 



I picked up a few fresh pots of herbs at my local store.  I picked out herbs that I will plant later for cooking--thyme (lemon and German) and oregano. I already had the clay flower pots and the small saucers for the pots.  I have a river birch in my yard and it often sheds large pieces thin bark in the winter.  I save the larger pieces because they are interesting and I'm "always" sure I can do something with them.  So this spring, I put a piece under each potted herb.  I like the way it looks--interesting texture.  



I added Italian Countryside plates, burlap chargers and vintage silver plate flatware. 



I found this wonderful demi-john at a local antique store at a great price!  I also added a lovely piece of lace for a table runner.
  
  

Are you doing anything special this spring using fresh herbs?  I'd love for you to share your ideas with me!

Early Spring on the Table

We've had a lot of cloudy and dreary days here these last few weeks--have you?  I usually try to "cheer up" the house (and myself) by purchasing a few new house plants, redoing my tablescape in the kitchen and the vignette on my coffee table.  I usually switch out a few other decorative items in my family room to give that room a fresher look, too.  
I finally found some nice-looking little
 succulents and I decided that
 they would look cute
 in these vintage jello-o molds
 that I've been collecting. 

I have decided that I really enjoy layering 
pieces at my table.  Do you like to do this as well?

Look at all that precious sunshine streaming in--

 I used some bamboo place mats that I got several years ago at Michael's.  Then, I added burlap chargers from Hobby Lobby.

Next, my green dinner plates topped with a salad plate (Italian Countryside by Mikasa).  The napkins came from Pottery Barn.

The wooden bowls were some that I have had for some time. 
 The flatware is Nouveau by Gorham (discontinued).

I hope you are enjoying a lovely early spring afternoon.
