So, for Tablescape Tuesday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch...
I have set the table for a warm soup supper.
No, we're not having cherry soup. I just think the cherries brighten up the table on a dreary day.
I think it was in the 70's when Nabisco crackers had the "box top" soup bowls. We ate enough crackers to get four soup bowls.
The graphics on the bowls depict old Nabisco advertising.
I think it was also the 70's when Campbell's Soup sold the soup tureen and mug set, which depict the Campbell's Soup "kids".
The main course is my centerpiece.
Since I didn't have a centerpiece, I added this Campbell's soup mug with faux cherries to my cracker and cheese serving plate.As always, thank you so much for coming by. I hope my soup warmed you up a little. Be sure to go see all of the tablescapes at Between Naps on the Porch. laurie

Laurie, This is wonderful. I love both sets. Yes, soup sounds really good on these cold.. winter days!
Hugs, Terrie
Soup is exactly what I need today...it is cold and icy. Love your cherries on your table, very cheery indeed.
Love your vintage looking soup bowls. Your table setting is very pretty, Laurie. Those will look so good in my daughter, Tina's kitchen. Someday, I will share a pic of her kitchen with you. I really like it and soup sounds good to me right now too even if it is warm here because of a pounding heacache. Looks kinda spooky out there looking at your tree...Christine
Perfect for a cold day. My friend's husband works for Nabisco which is now owned by Kraft Foods. They have lots of old goodies too. Fun things to have around, I think.
Laurie, I love your soup's on table! Cheerful and creative!!!
Great tablescape! I love the bright,cheery colors on a dreary day!
What a perfect table setting and menu for a your dreary winter day! That picture says brrr.
Your table just lights up the room. What fun little collectible soup cups! I like it! Stay cozy and warm inside...
I just had soup for lunch but not in such a cute bowl...mine was plastic
It was still good!
This makes me want some soup! Love all the cherrys!
We got some ice too, luckly the temp stayed just above freezing so it didn't do as much damage as they thought. Although temps could start dropping soon and it's still raining. Kids are out of school, boy was Chase happy!
Your soup table looks so cozy & inviting! Stay warm & safe in this icy weather.
Hugs,
Carol

Laurie, this was a really cute post, so much fun. And I bet you have a treasure there with your soup bowls.I had the Campbell Soup ones when the kids were little, but of course, I didn't hang on to them.
Hugs,
Chris
Between the soup and the trip down Memory Lane...I'm all warmed up from the inside out!!!
very cute!
Have a happy week, Laurie!
;-D
Hi Laurie...this setting did brighten a dreary cold day for me...and by golly, a bowl of "cherry" soup just might hit the spot...LOL ;-) Bo
You know that has made me hungry for soup on the cold, rainy day, right? Sounds good! I don't remember those soup bowls coming w/ cracker boxes, but I remember my great aunt had a Nabisco tin for her crackers, and for some reason, they seemed to taste better way back then!
Your campbell's soup and nabisco bowls and mugs are just sooooo cute. I love the soup tureen. They really make a great tablescape. I don't think I have ever seen them, but I love them. Hugs, Marty
This is really cute! And the cherries do brighten things up. I love those nabisco soup bowls, the old ads are so fun. Now I'm hungry, so I'm outta here! Hugs, Kathy
Cute, cute, cute. I actually have some campbells soup bowls. I should do something with them!!!
Those are so cute! I also love the cheeries salt & pepper shakers. Can't beat soup on a cold day. Sally
I don't know...Cherry soup sounds pretty interesting...I'll take a big bowl, please! :-) I love those old ads on the china...what a fun post! Susan
Pretty tablescape Laurie!! Makes me want some soup on a day like today! Hurry up Spring!
Adorable table Laurie, love the dishes, how whimsical and fun!
Linda
Welp, being in love with just about anything VINTAGE, I'm drooling over your tablescape! Oh I just love the old Nabisco and Cambell's ads! I have a few soup bowls from Cambells but never thought about using them for soup condiments...love the cherries too! :-) L~
Hi Laurie,
This is so warm ,cute and cozy! Just right for a cold winter day. I love those retro soup mugs. Cindy
what a cute idea! i like the idea of cups filled with various toppings for the soup. soup is one of my favorite things to eat.
Hi, Laurie, Girl, you always do something unexpected and clever, I love your table! You do have the most interesting and fun things, and you present them so well! I've been thinking about you, I told Hubby that Laurie was getting ice. I hope it melts soon, and hope you got to stay home from work! Love Ya! Connie

This is fantastic! I can taste the soup now. You really did a "souper" job with this. Thank you for sharing.
Well, it's 70 degrees today here in South Florida, but I still had some cream of chicken soup. I love your tablescape with the darling soup cups...they are too cute and well worth all the crackers you ate! Cute, cute, tablescape! Stay warm:-)
Oh I can just taste some warm cream of tomato soup! I love the red/white/blue colors! I'm going to steal your idea of putting cheese and crackers in cups! Love this!
Love your soup table. Very cute.
I have seen the Campbell's soup mugs before, but never the soup tureen. Such bright colors and functional at the same time.
The tablesetting warms your heart and the soup warms the rest of you. I don't think you can beat that combination.
I have a Nabisco storage can for my saltines that I purchased (saltines included) when I first married in the mid sixties and then several years ago I got one for Ritz crackers (holds four stacks), they had out for a short period of time. I really like old storage cans.
Great table Laurie, the campbell soup dishes are just too fun.. We've got ice and snow our way..and headed to 0 tonight..hope things are better your way.
hugs ~lynne~
Just love the table scarf! The cherry centerpiece is so sweet! I guess you added the sugar to the cherrys! lol The soup bowl collection is wonderful! I love the table, it so pretty!
Hi Laurie...What a cute tablescape! It brought back a lot of memories! Did you ever eat lunch with Soupy Sales?? lol Have a great day!...Debbie
LAURIE,
THAT'S WHY CAMPBELL'S SOUP IS MMMMMMMMMMMGOOD...WE USE TO LOVE TO SING THAT SONG.
I AM LATE GETTING AROUND TO POST ON MY FAVORITE BLOGS...THE SOUP WAS DELICIOUS BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE FRIENDSHIP.
LOVE THE TABLESCAPE.....VERY WARM AND INVITING
HUGS

Very cute table using advertising collectibles. A big bowl of steaming soup is my favorite winter meal.
Laurie, did you get may address? The first email address you sent came back to me. It looked like the last name was perhaps spelled incorrectly, so I changed one letter and resent. It went somewhere--I am just not sure to you! ;)
VERY fun table! Love it.
Shannon
oh Laurie, your table settings are just BEAUTIFUL! truly something right out of a magazine!! Thank you so much for sharing!! So inspiring! Hope you have a WONDERFUL day! :D
Oh, you are so smart to put this table together. I adore anything with cherries. They make the table so cheerful don't they?
What kind of soup are we having? Do I need to dress formal or casual?
Wow Laurie this was so awesome... I love all the collectable pieces... They were really cute and reminiscent of days gone by... My grandfather wouldn't eat soup without oyster crackers...It made such a wonderful tablescape.... Love ya
(((HUGS)))
Donna
LOVE the table set for soup! May I ask you HOW you got the great photo of the outdoors so big on your post AND how do you make type font really small under an award or photo you post on the sidebar? I just can't seem to get it right. I know how busy you must be, so please don't think you have to reply ......... just wondering.
you could even email me at hdwoonie@gmail.com .......
Are you still iced in?! We got it down here this morning but not as bad! Hope you're not losing any trees or power! I'm wondering what kind of soup you're servin'? Have a blessed day Laurie!
You're right...the cherries do brighten things up. And those soup mugs are so darn cute...although in our house they would be considered...Ice cream mugs lol
Hi Laurie...just stopping back by to see how you are doing. Do you have a lot of ice and do you have power? Thinking of you!!
That soup set is just adorable!
Who would not like soup in those!!
Diane
The table looks lovely! It's cold here, what kind of soup are we having? LOL
Cute table, Laurie, and so many of my favorite things that don't match my up-and-coming kitchen. I LOVE cherries, and have several dozen pieces to add to those already in my eBay store, and I have a good-sized cache of Campbell's Soup Kids mugs, too. Your Nabisco soup cups are very cool, I've never seen those before, though we drove by one of their factories in Oakland at least once a week. Makes a girl wonder ....
Have a great week!
Victoria

Hello Dearheart...

Hey Girlfriend...
I'm back...hehe!!! I have a decorating dilemma and would love your advise...I just put it up on my blog...if you have the time, I'd sure appreciate your input!!!
Love ya,
Chari
Laurie your icy trees are so eerily beautiful. Soup on a day like this would be just perfect. What could be cuter than the Campbell soup kids? Lovely, happy table. Hope you are getting warmer weather soon. Love, Cindy
Very sweet...reminds me alot of what my Grandma used to do to make me feel all warm and cozy when she kept me as a little girl. Thanks for taking me down memory lane. ~CC Catherine ;)
Laurie Eve..I am so wondering about you since you have NO electricity like the rest of B'ville. I know you have those fireplaces though..and you will have some great stories to tell us about the ice storm that hit AR, 2009. Hang in there and eat lots of soup from those cute soup mugs. Maybe you have designed a centerpiece with all the ice limbs broken off in your yard. Make some s'mores in the fireplace like our Brownie days. Susie
Great table setting! I love the soup dishes!
I just started a new blog so just call me a newbie! Come over and visit if you have a minute!
How did I miss you?This is darling.Of course I remember these.My dh has 4 coffee cups of the campbell kids.I'm not sure if they're this old or not.So imaginative Luarie.Keep it up ...Ann
So cute and that definately perks up a frosty dreary day!
Manuela
Laurie, I was so glad I decided to check here to see if there were any comments from you. Thank-you dear Susie for letting us know that Blythville is without power. I was really getting worried about our dear sweet Laurie. Hope you are keeping warm, I am praying for your family. Love, Cindy
How on earth did I miss your Tablescape Tuesday post?! Good grief...and I live vicariously through all of you talented tablescapers at that!
I just love your cheery winter "soups on" tablscape, Laurie. The colors are so perfect to perk up a winter day. The soup bowls are whimsical and nostalgic, and the red and blue stemware adds a perfect flourish of glam to a homey, cozy setting. :-) I'm inspired yet again!
You can even make having soup special.You have the touch of love in those hands of yours and it shows with every post,Kathysue
