Springtime Tablescape

Isn't spring a wonderful time of the year?!!





Everything you see except the flatware came for thrift stores. The glasses don't show the true color. They are pink like the bottom plate. I love thrift shopping!!


This center piece cost me less than $5.00 to make. I had most of the items on hand and other items either came from Dollar Tree or the thrift store. I'm loving it!!






I don't know how many of you noticed but I forgot to put anything in my candle holders. Don't worry, it will get done but I must post this quickly or this will never get done. I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for their Tablescape Thursday. Have a WONDERFUL Easter season and remember how much you are loved by Jesus!!

It's My Birthday Tablescape

It's my birthday, I'm gonna party!!! I had a wonderful birthday. I spent the whole day at my dad and Glady's house with them, my wonderful husband, my two sisters, brother in law, Glady's two sisters and niece and Mary. They all made my day so special. They made both meat and vegetable lasagna which was DELICIOUS!!! Being with family and eating off paper plates is better than all the fancy tablescapes in the world. What a wonderful day!!

St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

Am I behind in my bloggig or what? This is my St. Patrick's Day Tablescape. It is very simple but you don't need much for potato soup and Reuben sandwiches. YUM YUM!
I just love these green bowls with their wavey edges. They are Athena by American Atelier. I bought them at a thrift store and LOVE them. I would like more but not even Replacements Ltd has them. Everyone be on the lookout for me.

Mardi Gras Tablescape

Today I will try for the first time to share my tablescape with Between Naps on the Porch blogspot. I mentioned this blog on a previous post as the site that started my love for tablescaping. If I am not successful at posting mine, please take time to view this fabulous blog. You will love it.








I don't know what image comes to your mind when you think of Mardi Gras but for me it is not a good one. The colors however do lend to a wonderful tablescape. So whatever your feelings about Mardi Gras, I am just using the theme colors and accessories. On second thought, I think I will have guest over and share with them
how some of the traditions came about, the good ones, that is.

Welcome Home Cara tablescape

Cara is home and this mom is so excited. Her husband, Nik, is out to sea for seven months and she has moved back home while he is gone. In honor of her return home I have created a tablescape with elephants. If you know Cara, you know she loves elephants. Cara, we love you and are glad you are home for a while.

Valentine's Tablescape

The Key To My Heart

When you think of February you automatically think of Valentine's Day. Since Pat and I eat together by ourselves almost every night, the thought of a romantic dinner for just the two of us was not an option this time. Beside, we love being with other couples from our church so this tablescape is set for three couples. On second thought, I'll set a few more places. The more the merrier and we can laugh and talk about funny things that have happened through the years. Isn't love grand!!

Carriage Scenes Tablescape

I bought these plates for pennies and thought they would make a beautiful setting. Now I want more of them. I know that will cost more.

This tablescape was done in honor of my nephew and his wife, Daniel and Morgan Sprinkle. I tried to recreate their wedding day table setting but could not find the lucky bamboo they had for their center pieces. The bamboo was in individual glass containers and each guest was to take one home as a wedding favor. I loved their natural, earthy elements. Mine however is different. The reason I wanted to remember them is because they were getting ready to leave for Thailand to work with the Peace Corp for two years. I wish them the very best. They are two wonderful people.

Have a happy and prosperous New Year Tablescape.

Christmas Tablescape

This is my Christmas tablescape. It is definitely lacking a centerpiece but I especially love the snow ladies. They belonged to my mom. I wish she was here to enjoy my new hobby. She would have loved it too.
