THE SWEET SMELL OF GARDENIAS

I must admit that Gardenia's are one of my all time favorite flowers

We have two large bushes in our back yard and this year the blooms are abundant!

This table setting is to celebrate Gardenias and Spring

Pink, green and white

 I won a set of these adorable bird plates from 

Jaz at OCTOBER FARM 

If you haven't visited this blog you should

Jaz has the most amazing gardens, a beautiful dog named Teddy and she is also a fantastic cook!  

She is also having another giveaway of bird plates

They are like these but with a yellow bird, very cute!

I started with green place mats and added these pink plates

I found at the Salvation Army back in May

I loved how the pink plate picked up the colors in the flowers

I also used the lacey pink glasses also found at SA

Teacups, teapot and pink creamer, sugar and S&P

continued the colors from the bird plates

 I added the napkins bought last week at the thrift 

white with pink edging and design

 The gardenias are in a green Franciscan ware ball jug

I added a couple of birds to the table

One at each place setting

I'm so thankful for these lovely garden bird plates

from Jaz and how they made this table!

I'm joining in these fun parties
