Pearscape

I still had my “Winterscape” on the table until late last night and decided at the last minute to change out the table and join some “link parties”..So in a matter of 15 minutes, I transformed my table (not including the time to dismantle) Hopefully, it does not present itself as a 15 minute transformation!! I have lots of “pears” in my kitchen decor, so I thought that I would use these pears as my theme. Hope you enjoy!

The long view of the table..A silk floral arrangement in a vintage McCoy planter with cabbage roses and hydrangeas (my favorite)…I added faux pears around the arrangement and flanked them with candles.

The place setting. Charger: Franciscan; Dinner plate and salad plate: Dansk Fiance Fruits. The sherbet glass is vintage. Pear: Faux from Pottery Barn several years ago.

Plate detail..I love this dinnerware, but unfortunately it is discontinued.

I took a compote that I bought from HomeGoods several years ago and inverted it and placed the candle on it.

My Lenox pear which is a holds a tea light..so pretty when lit..

The footed plate is another find from HomeGoods a few years ago. Atop is a ceramic pear and surrounded by faux fruit tarts and candy. My granddaughter loves to play tea party with these faux goodies!

    This is one heck of a 15-minute transformation! Pears are such a wonderful decorating staple, and you are quite smart to have a collection at your fingertips. That Lenox one is just TOO pretty! The dishes are really pretty, too. Too bad they’re discontinued. It seems like that happens all too often…you fall in love with something, start a collection, and then wham!…they’re outta there! 🙁 Very pretty table! Have a warm, safe weekend!

    Love pearscape! How fun that you have all those pears that you can pull together (no, it doesn’t look like 15 minutes). My favorites are the upside down pedastal, now candle holder, the richly beautiful plates, and the cream colored scroll pear jar. Really fun! If you are up for another link party, please join me on Saturday for R & R Weekend. Anything that you post that brought you Rest or Rejuvenation of your creative spirit – crafting, sewing, cooking, movie watching, reading, reflecting, traveling or ???? We need to share ideas about what brings us joy! I would love to have you join the party. Happy blogging! ~CJ

    I love this tablescape! It certainly doesn’t look like one *I* could assemble in 15 minutes! I’ve always admired that Dansk pattern, and I REALLY covet your “Burple” sherbets. I have the water glasses in that pattern from my husband’s grandparents, but would love to also own some sherbets.

    I am absolutely in love with your pearscape. The sherbets caught my eye and drew me in and I realized with have similiar taste. I have my mother’s collection of the green glassware. She got much of it as premiums at gasoline stations. Go figure. I then noticed the reticulated plate stand with the pear arrangement. I have the same one and a larger one that I stack.
    Your linens are breathtaking and the lenox pear votive is awesome.
    I am glad I found you through Common Ground.
    I am a new follower.
    Blessings, Ginger

    Warm and beautiful with the pear theme. Love the way you inverted the compotes to use as candleholders and your Dansk china. Too bad it’s discontinued. It’s gorgeous.

    That is my kitchen pattern! I have a closet full, high hat bowls, serving pieces etc. We used to have a little Dansk Outlet here in Southampton and they sent out coupons, sometimes up to 50 off!

    If I ever decide to get rid of it, I know who to contact!

    Very pretty table.

    That’s a very inviting table. There is so much to love here! The cutwork tea light pear really caught my eye. You really have a good eye for bringing it all together.

    Loove it! So very pretty. Can you give me advice on how to store your “extra” things for tablescaping and still be able to access a theme? I can’t wrap my head around it, but am tired of giving things away only to wish I kept them for the next event or party!
