HYACINTHS FOR THE SOUL: Mar 20, 2013

I hosted my Garden Club

for lunch on the terrace this week.

It was the perfect time to pull out my

MacKenzie-Childs Flower Market Serving Pieces.

I filled my small MacKenzie-Childs

serving stand with Courtly Check

pots full of springtime blooms.

The Flower Market Enamelware

is covered in glorious color.

The serving pieces inspired my

choice of blooms in the centerpiece.

~ Yellow Daffodils ~ Lavender Carnations ~

~ Blue Delphiniums ~ Mixed Anemones and Ranunculus ~

I used a variety of plates

by Spode and Wedgwood.

Vintage silver baskets

held stacks of napkins.

The silverware was

rolled within each napkin.

Wild Rice Chicken Salad

Mixed Greens with Fruit and Nuts

Tossed with Brianna's Dressing

Blooper Alert:

Somehow the kitchen spoon ended up in the serving bowl

while the silver serving tongs were left by the side.

Iced Tea with Lemon Slices and Fresh Mint

and a Tray of Thumbprint and Chocolate Cookies

I forgot to take photos of the tables out on the terrace,

but I used lavender cloths and simple centerpieces.
