I was fumbling through our garage one day last week when I ran across an unopened box of dishes that had belonged to my late father in law. I fell in love with them immediately. I think they are so clean and simple looking. It has great, beautiful, blue coffee mugs that came with it.
I decided to have a beautiful Spring morning breakfast.
And it was delightful! The flowers were in bloom & birds were singing. Perfect!
The blue & yellow plate on top is not from the set. I found them many years back at Ross. They are marked Deruta "Hand painted in Italy". 
So I went about looking for complimentary things to set a table.
The roses fresh from my garden looked pretty in this former bedside water pitcher (the glass broke a few years back).

I used my Easter bunny napkin rings and the bird S&P shakers.
My bird cage was perfect for a center piece.

Sorry the sun went behind a cloud in this picture.
A good look out my kitchen window.
Coffee was served from my Delft ware pot from Cozumel. 
Juice was served in the crystal glasses I found at the little shop in town. It's called "What's In Store." Isn't that a great name?

Blue and yellow are a favorite combination for me. How nice that you have these dishes from your father-in-law. You've put together a beautiful spring table. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by HFTS and leaving such a nice comment. I appreciate it!
Your spring morning breakfast tablescape is lovely. The cheerful blue and yellow is great and your garden roses are beautiful. Of course I love that Delft ware pot - very pretty.
YOu have adorned this stunning table in my very favorite colors- blue, yellow and white! They are so crisp and fresh. The dishes are so pretty and bold. I just love them. You did a marvelous job mixing them!

Yes! I agree! Your setting is wonderful and so inviting! I can see why you were so excited to find those dishs. Love the blue,yellow and white and the bird theme. It's beautiful!
I love these colors! Your table is just beautiful! Funny, my hubby and I both also thought it was Mexican Independence Day, then I thought maybe I should look it up, lol!! He's Puerto Rican, so they definitely don't celebrate it there!
What a pretty table. What a great find, to discover your fil dishes.
Blue and yellow always make me so happy.
Fun table and great view into the garden.

Every one loves blue and yellow! Throw in a little white and you have a beautiful spring table. How special to "find" your father-in-law's dishes. I love an unexpected find.
