We are giving Spring a big "welcome back, we have missed you" celebration! A springtime brunch with close friends will mark Spring's happy return. To set the mood, spring elements abound on the table.
Moving away from a pastel palette and traditional spring florals, this table pays homage to a softer side of Spring... invoking the natural elements and organic textures of the new season. By tucking a few rich details here and there, this tablescape takes on a rustic luxe look. The repeated theme is birds and nests and naturals...
See the rest of my tablescape at DESTINY IN BLOOM, an uplifting and inspiring e-zine. I was so honored they asked me to write an article for them.
As a bonus (I don't know if I can call it that!!!!!) you can see a picture of me! How I dislike having my picture taken! This may be the only time, folks!
Please pop over and tell them I sent you! Thanks!!!!!

I just popped over to the online magazine and read your article. It really is pretty and well written! Great job! I wish they would have sized your pictures like you do! I love to see every detail and with these "older" eyes I need the larger photos! =)
ReplyDeleteYour picture is pretty as ever!

Hi Mary! I was surprised about that too. You can always click on a photo and it will enlarge for you to see all the details.
Deletexo
I hope they got the pictures enlarged for you and your readers. When I checked they seemed to be bigger. Thanks again for contributing.
DeleteCan't wait to visit...cold and rainy here so a very good day for it!
ReplyDeleteYou article over there was awesome, you are so good- that tablescape is perfect!
ReplyDeleteAnd your picture is very very pretty!
I agree with Mary- wish those pictures would have been larger!
Well done, Yvonne!!
I am headed over, Yvonne. It is NO surprise to me that you were invited to do this! You do a wonderful job with your table! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Yvonne... a job well done. Beautiful piece and gorgeous table scapes! Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Jalon
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done. I, too, wish the photos were larger. They don't enlarge when you click on them...or if they do, it's not much. I love blues and the bird nests are such a cute idea for guest gifts.

Another beautiful table, my friend. I enjoyed every element. Are the little nest placecard holdrs on a pedestal? How are they raised up? SO cute! There are not enough hours in the day right now. I am swamped, and stressed:):) XOXO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteThe sweet little nests are on wire "feet" I got them on sale at the Pottery Barn Outlet. Don't be stressed... you are too blessed!
Deletexo Your bestie!

I think it is a great picture of you! I hate having mine taken too. The tablescape is gorgeous...love those bird plates. What a nice honor to be included in their magazine. Loved it all!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...love the flatware.

Hi Yvonne, I've been trying to comment but keep getting bumped off--so if several comments show up you will know why! Your table is beautiful and fresh. And your photo is gorgeous!!!!! Do you have blonde hair and brown eyes? I do, and it's pretty rare. Have a wonderful Easter with your family. Linda
ReplyDeleteI do have blond hair and light goldie brown eyes. But I am getting pretty gray! I'm blond and I am sticking to that story! I have heard it is a rare combo!
DeleteYour rustic luxe table is gorgeous...I prefer neutral and natural over lots of color any day. You integrated all of the elements so beautifully. Congratulations on the guest article!

Hopping over! I agree, it is wonderful to finally have some spring here! I don't like having my picture either but I do try to throw it in once in a blue moon!
