I just had to make a quick tablescape using my 'beautiful' new cutlery which you can read about here. I had been given this pretty plate for my birthday a few years ago and had found it to be a bit bright for my decor but now I have spread my wings a bit and am willing to try lots of different colours it just seemed perfect today.
The gorgeous yellows and oranges of the poppies were perfect with my orange cutlery and yellow sideplates. Green rafia held the cutlery in place.
This photo makes me think of a bunch of fresh carrots!!!
I have been taking a lot of my photos out on my front porch lately. It's winter here in Australia so the light in my kitchen is not so great so whenever we have a little bit of winter sunshine I head outdoors.
This tray is set up for a simple little morning tea for two.
If I'd been told a few years ago I would be decorating with oranges, yellows and greens I would never have believed it. My mind now is open to so many new ideas.

Love the colours you have brought together!! I know what you mean about orange ... but it is one that I'm finding I'm liking more these days too! Happy Wednesday..HHL
Such happy colors! ONe can't help but feel delighted to be sitting at that tea table!
Gorgeous tablescape - I love all the bright and cheery colors. Well done!!

Suzy, I am DIGGIN' the colors!!!!!!!! I decorate with orange quite a bit (it's the predominant color in our dining room), and it is such a happy and invigorating color. I agree with you on that one photo looking like a bunch of fresh carrots. Cool!!! Winter in Australia, huh? We'd do just about anything to take some of those cool temps here to balance out the heat. It has been in the triple digits for several days here in the Midwest, U.S.A. There have been many heat related deaths, and our electric bills are skyrocketing. Ugh! Blow a little cool air this direction, won't you? :-) Have a great weekend!
That's a fun table...love the bright colors!
Gorgeous display, lovely colors!

Suzy, isn't it funny how time stretches us? At least we're not boring! Your brightly colored tray is so very cheerful, and I'm glad you shared it!
Hi Suzy, Did you know that Orange is the colour of "Creativity". I always find it interesting when people say that they are surprised that they are somehow drawn toward orange when it's not their usual colour......your creative juices are on fire!! :) Love the pics...how very very creative....I'm hungry now...hehehe How cool to rock up to a table in a cafe' to find it set like that!! You have a knack.
Keep it going!!
Together in stitches

What a gorgeous tea tray vignette, the colours all complement each other, a great mix & match.
I can see what you mean about the "carrot" shot!
