A Lovely Gift & A Daffodil Tablescape
This fresh springy daffodil tablescape comes to us compliments of an early birthday present!
The Gift
My wonderful son never forgets my birthday! And this year he even remembered it early! I’m having a little staycation and he had this lovely box of daffodils sent to my hotel!
I was so happy to get them – they’re like a little breath of spring right on my table! Especially during this challenging time, gifts like this are such an extra kindness!
The Daffodil Tablescape
I have a gorgeous river view from my balcony. So I thought I’d make myself a little pre-birthday celebration by setting a lovely daffodil tablescape!
I’ve always enjoyed dragging my birthday out as long as possible, so I’m officially starting now!
Never Leave Home Without Your China
Since I did happen to take several pieces of china and tableware with me on my staycation, I was able to set this lovely table on my balcony.
It’s so fun to set a nice table, even if it’s just for yourself. And for this little table, I wanted to use two of my favorite colors – white and gold.
If you love those colors too, I’ve linked all the elements of our daffodil tablescape at the bottom of this post.
Or Your Linens
I also brought one of my favorite tablecloths and some lovely white napkins.
One tip for packing a tablecloth is to roll it up lengthwise, then curl it into your suitcase. Mine came out almost wrinkle-free!
Packing The Crystal
Bringing the crystal along was a little more challenging! However, I wrapped each piece in a big cloth napkin, then laid them carefully between layers of clothes in my suitcase.
As long as nobody threw the suitcase around, (which they didn’t) we were good!
Then Enjoy!
I do truly love making a beautiful elegant space just for myself! And getting these sweet spring flowers was a perfect excuse. (As if I needed one, but you know what I mean!)
I hope you get some time to indulge yourself for a bit too! Maybe even set yourself your own daffodil tablescape!
Happy Spring!

Love this, so elegant! Daffodils are my favorite spring bulb.
I planted 175 in the fall. I drag out my birthday too.
Happy Birthday!

Wow – 175! I bet that’ll be a gorgeous display! (I cheated a little – this post is from last April, which is when my birthday really is.) Let’s both celebrate our birthdays all year! 🙂 Happy Thursday!
So very beautiful Barbara, and I just love those plates. I’m ready to come join you… so very inviting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Chas – come on over any time! 😉
This is such a beautiful table, so elegant, so lovely! We don’t get daffodils here in Florida, and I do miss them. These are so pretty and really remind me of springs up north!
Oh thank you Chloe! I guess I hadn’t thought about no daffodils in Florida, but now that you mention it…! Well consider my daffodil gift passed on to you! 😉 Hope you have a lovely week – thanks so much for stopping by!
So pretty and Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Friend!

Happy birthday Barbara! I hope this is a wonderful year for you dear friend! Your place setting is just as beautiful as you are. I am so glad you had a staycation and pampered yourself. Your son is so sweet to send you flowers. And I am in love with your monogrammed plates. 😊💗 you always have the prettiest table!
Aw you are too kind my friend, and yes my son is seriously wonderful! 💗 You know I like to make my birthdays last as long as possible – I think I’m going to get almost a whole 10 days out of this one! 😉 Take care over there in the snow! I’ll send you virtual lilacs any day now!
Happy birthday, Barbara. May you have many more to follow!
Bet this is one you won’t soon forget. Life sure is odd these days.
Thanks for the pretty posts – it is such a wonderful diversion.
Thank you Michele! It’s been a fun 7 days so far! 🙂 !! You’re right – this is a weird year, but I’m so glad we can divert and inspire each other through it all! Take care out there, and Happy Thursday! ❤️
So glad you’re enjoying your staycation Barbara. What a sweet son you have too!
He is truly the best! ❤️ I’m home now, but the memories – as they say – will last a lifetime! 🙂 Hope you’re having fun and getting closer to your finished pool!
