Lilacs in the Springtime Table

 
Welcome to Red Couch Recipes!


 
I went out in the backyard and to my surprise I saw that lilacs are blooming!   For the Utah dessert that seems early to me.  I am glad I didn't miss Lilac Time.
 
I added a little spray of lilacs in each bandana napkin.  These napkins are about the only purple that I have in my home. 
 
 
 
Just another view of the plates.  I thought the green dinner plates went well with the leaves of the lilacs.
 
 
Some clear bubble glasses and some green ones to add color to the table.
 
 
I broke out the silver for the occasion.
 
 
Just another view of the table.
 
 
 
Take some time to enjoy the spring time.  Are lilacs blooming in your area now?
 
 
 
Thanks for dropping by Red Couch Recipes.

Gorgeous table Joni. I love Lilacs and you have lovingly made this a centerpiece for your table. Adding them to the napkins is lovely. Our already bloomed.

Joni, I love green and purple this time of year. This is the second year in a row that I didn't get to enjoy the lilacs because of rain...Mother Nature hasn't been very nice to us who wait all year for day we can cut them for a bouquet!
The edging on your plate is so pretty.
Have a wonderful week.

Pretty table Joni! After three days of soaking rain and 85 degrees today they've opened fully:@)

Lilacs are definitely blooming here in the Kansas City area! I've noticed them on my neighbors' bushes for about 10 days now. We got a lot of rain and cool weather last week that has been followed up with full blown heat, so they're blooming like crazy!!!

No wonder you hardly have any purple in your house...your sister has all the purple!!! There's none left for you!!! :-)

This is a really, really pretty table, Joni. The lilacs bring out the joy in all the other pieces you've set!

Have a Happy Mother's Day!

I love the pitcher of lilacs for your centerpiece, and how clever to use purple bandanas for napkins!
