Is It Thyme To Plant Yet? - A Spring Tablescape

I have been planning this fun and bright table for

quite some time.

I wanted it to be a garden themed table,

with everything ready to dig in the dirt and plant.

It really is about time!

I kept waiting and waiting and waiting and finally

gave up on the good weather!  

What a spring we have had.  There is global cooling

in our area!!  This is a picture of our weather today - 

cold rain and mists covering the mountains and more snow

in the mountains, maybe some snow in the valleys tonight!

No one is planting yet!

Even though it isn't like spring, we are going to enjoy the beautiful

spring colors and plants on today's table

A stacking of textured white and green plates

made me think of the spring garden.

I layered a beaded napkin between the plates for a fun

casual look.

The flowered bowls hold a scoop and vegetable seeds.

I like the interest of the seeds in the bowls.

It makes you anxious to get planting in the garden.

I paired everything with my creamy flatware

that I bought through Horchow.

Even though the weather was bad, I set this

table up under the deck outside in the garden.

You can see the rain covered walkways

behind the table in this photo.

I filled this wonderful caddy with herbs and

fresh flowers for part of the centerpiece.

It is made of four square glass boxes that fit

into a dark, heavily carved base.  

Notice the

details at the bottom.

If you haven't given herbs a try, plant some.  They are the

easiest things to grow!  We have to plant basil and rosemary

as annuals here because of the frost but most of the other

herbs grow like weeds - and we all know how easy weeds 

are to grow!

The tulips are rain spattered from the garden.

Scalloped tissue covers the plastic planter cups for the herbs.

I am going to have so much fun with this caddy besides using

it for flatware.

The caddy has four compartments, one with thyme, one with

sage and one with rosemary, the final one with fresh flowers.

I have had this arrangement of herbs and flowers

on my counter for some time waiting for 

the weather to warm up.

Such pretty and heavy details on the caddy.

  My friend Rachel

gave this to me for helping with her kitchen remodel.  She got it

at Costco at Christmas time.  I went right away to find one but

they were gone.  She knew I admired hers so after we 

finished her remodel, she surprised me with it!

A wire topiary also fills the center of the table.

Someday soon we hope to be able to

enjoy warm days and to start digging in the soil.

For now though, we are just dreaming.

 

Thanks for visiting my tablescape today.
