Today is a day to celebrate the hope
of summer with MacKenzie-Childs
Berries and Blossoms Plates. Just the thought of
fresh berries from the garden makes me
excited for summer.
We started the day out with
four inches of snow, which finished by 9:30 am
and then the sun came out and warmed it up
so you didn't even need a coat.
You never know what the temperature might
be at this time of year.
Miss Madi K, my MacKenzie-Childs Traveling
Tote and I are headed on a couple of fun adventures
these next two weeks, so we thought it would
be perfect to break these plates out. You can
read about those adventures in our upcoming
giveaway on June 1st.
I just love the addition of berries and blossoms
to the traditional Courtly Check border. The
blossoms look just like all my blossoms on
my fruit trees - which I am very worried about
with two days of snow this last week.
I have had this black and white checked
tablecloth for quite some time. It is
actually covered with sequins. It is
from Linentablecloths.com and picks
up the checks on the Berries and Blossoms plates.
My MacKenzie-Childs canisters made perfect
vases for red and white flowers for the
center of the table.
I sprinkled a few of the berries
on the tablecloth too.
The plates are topped with white tea cups
filled with a Vanilla Bean cupcake garnished
with fresh fruit.
Yum! A Berry Shortcake Cupcake.
The red roses pick up the color of the
strawberries and raspberries.
This close-up shows the black and
white sequins. I stacked my square wooden
chargers with round white plates for the stack
and accented everything with cherry red flatware.
Red goblets add another pop of color
to the table.
I am in love with these plates. I purchased them
for picnics since they are melamine. They will also
be great for little people.
I hope this table brought a little sunshine
into your life, even if it is snowing today!
I will be sharing this with
