Buzzing Bee Tablescape



A little table with some buzzing bee tableware I found at Goodwill. I am taking a French twist inspired by the tableware.
 

The centerpiece is a grouping of things that all carry the bee theme.
 
A little straw bee skep I recently found at a gift shop.
 
At the same little shop I found this tea towel hand embroidered with bees.

 
I found this little canister at TJ Maxx and I was waiting for the right table to put it on.  Never thought I would find these dishes.  Just grabbed some flowers from the garden and put a rubber band around them and popped them into the canister as if I just came from a French market. 

Here you can see the pattern better on the tableware It has a harlequin pattern in the background with all these little bees chasing lavender.
 
A little bee on the handle of the pitcher.

This platter came with the set too.  It is one of the prettiest pieces.

In keeping with the straw bee skep, I put a basket weave soup bowl with the plate.  Would serve some French peasant vegetable soup with this bread if I had more time.  

 
 And  here is the plate.  I used a natural linen as a table cloth.  The plates have chips but, it is all so cute it still has some more life in it. 

 In case you missed it, I had a virtual tea with the rest of the pieces I got with this set at Goodwill.  You could view that post here.  All of the bee tableware was $12.75.  It was made by Deb Mores and the pattern is Buzz Buzz. 
Thanks for viewing my tablescape I had fun with this bee themed set of dishes.
Don't forget I am having a CSN $45 gift certificate giveaway. Enter here.
