Climbing Clematis

I am using purple again today in my tablescape. This is my fourth table using purple or lilac this Spring but it is such a beautiful color and I have enjoyed bringing the purple indoors. 

I used two tablerunners that I purchased at TJ Maxx in the sale isle for $10 each. I also found the purple platter laying next to the runners and couldn't believe someone hadn't nabbed it before I saw them. It must have been put there just for me! 

I did see Marty over at A Stroll Thru Life feature two runners crossed on a tablescape and thought she had a great idea so I am using Marty's idea. Thanks Marty.

My inspiration for my tablescape came from my clematis growing on my mailbox. I have never cut clematis for my table so this is a first. I wasn't sure how the blooms would do bringing them in the house so I cut them and immediately gently placed them in water. 

The blooms look much darker purple when I added them to this deep purple tablescape. I set the table and had it perfect before I cut the blooms in case they wilted quickly (more clematis images)

 I have used the goblets on several tablescapes but I love how they look. I purchased them at Target early in the Spring but recently saw they were still carrying them.

 I used a stack of blue and white plates to pull out the blue flowers in the runner. The blue plates are from TJ Maxx and the white plates are Pfaltzgraff Gazebo. The plateware is Oneida.

I prepared a coffee/tea center on my bread rack next to the table. I love how the purple looks next to the white teapot and cups.

My husband gets all the credit for this menu. He has been cooking up a storm today.  I have a separate post about this Menu, click here to read it. It includes grilled salmon and halibut that he caught in Alaska.

I used the pink napkins (Kohl's) since the purple plate in the center had  pink flowers.
