A Tablescape with a Glowing Centerpiece

I received the most stunning candles as a gift from Black & Light Co. so I decided to include them in a Tablescape Thursday post hosted by Between Naps on the Porch.  I chose the ones with polka dots because I love them, dots are happy :)

Colour me Happy Blog 230 These are my new green placemats from Crate & Barrel, I just love them!! Next to yellow and orange I love green, especially in these shades!

Colour me Happy Blog 233 I am showing a combination of white dishes (the most timeless colour for dishes in my opinion) the dinner plate are ones I bought to add to my china collection (from when I was married years ago) which is Strawberry & Vine Wedgewood.  It’s more traditional than I would chose today (that’s for sure) but because it’s white it’s still works for me!  The flatware I would love to replace, these are just so everyday!

Colour me Happy Blog 235 These napkin rings I bought at the Pottery Barn!

Colour me Happy Blog 237The hurricane lantern (one of the best ways to display a candle) with this beautiful candle is all you need for a quick centerpiece!  See how it glows right to the bottom?  This is what makes their candles so special.

Colour me Happy Blog 239 Here is another angle from the dining room looking into the living room.  Don’t look too hard for colour on the walls (and the drapes are not mine either) as I rent but when I buy this house (because I love it so much), then it will have colour on the walls!  The hurricane lantern is Brian Gluckstein.

Hurricane Lanterns are such a great accessory, here’s a decorative tablescape with all 4 elements for a tablescape.  A  tray, book, candle and a coral instead of flowers, click here for my post on How to create a Tablescape.

image Another room by David Jiminez with two hurricane lanterns.  Notice how regular candles are lit at the top though, and not all the way to the bottom?  This is why Black & Light Co. candles are so special!
