JBigg: Life in Kentucky: Bordallo Pinheiro white dishes

For Christmas morning, I have a table set in the dining room with a Fitz and Floyd Santa centerpiece and a shining Christmas tree closeby.

The table is casual with Pfaltzgraff Winterberry stoneware for an early morning get together.

Winterberry stoneware is a holiday classic with a ring of bright holly berries and branches. A white chop plate by Bordallo Pinheiro serves as a charger for the Pfaltzgraff plate and bowl.

The center of the table is lined with faux Arapahoe pine garland, fresh pine cones, red candles, two delicate ornaments and the F&F Christmas Lodge Santa.

Lenox holly napkins rings with tiny red bows hold the rolled green napkins.

I love the glow that votives add to the table.

The dining room Christmas tree is flocked and filled with cardinals, ornaments and snowflakes.

I hope you enjoy Christmas with your family and friends.

Do you have favorite colors to use for a Spring tablescape?

Yes, I do love green and white for Spring, it's always so crisp, so springy. But my very, very favorite combinations of color always include . .

You guessed it, aqua or turquoise! I am always drawn to these gorgeous colors, whether it is a soft pale aqua or a bold beautiful turquoise, it always catches my eye and draws me in. Does this happen to you when you see your favorite colors?

You might as well hit me on the head because I am taken away with this color. It takes me to a calm, peaceful and relaxing place. Life is good!

Now that you are reminded, once again, of this aqua turquoise obsession of mine, I can talk about the rest of my tablescape.

As my guests gather to take a seat, initialed tags are circled around the centerpiece. Each can choose a tag and turn it to the seat of their choice. Now everyone is sitting exactly where they want to be. (Unless someone grabs the seat they had their mind set on.)

The centerpiece is a white pitcher filled with faux ranunculus and other flower buds waiting to bloom. The pitcher is sitting on a small white pizza plate by Fiesta ware.

My stack of white cabbage dishes are Bordallo Pinheiro. The cabbage design makes a great spring pattern. The veins and edges of the pieces make it interesting.
