But I did have fun and that's all the mattered to me.
My centerpiece are three brass candlesticks I got at GW in Buffalo, NY. Have you ever bought something and just loved it.
I love these!
A very simple table for two.
The glass blue chargers were bought at "Something Special", a store where the proceeds go to a womens crisis center in Houston. The dishes (United Utilities Corp,"Sovereign") are from GW in Buffalo, NY.
A side view. The glass bowls I have had for years. The gold placemats were a gift from my friend, Shelly.
I like to use wine glasses for beverages. I don't care what you drink out of them, they always look elegant!
The pink napkin is a bandana. They were on sale in Hobby Lobby.
A matching bowl.
Coffee or tea??????
A close up of the pattern.
The sugar and creamer.
And last but not least the bluebird of happiness! It was given to me by my daughter, Jennifer.
I hope you had fun looking at all my stuff.
I am joining Susan at Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday.

ReplyDeleteYup...that's a far cry from the turquoise placemats alright! :-) It's a beautiful setting! I can see why you like the candlesticks so much. They look like something from the days of Paul Revere. Very nice!!! The chargers are fabulous with the dishes!!!!!! What a great combination!

Have a great weekend.
Beautiful! Picture of a calm afternoon. Love your table.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
Want to know something good about your brass candlesticks? I read that brass is the new "big trend" metal accent for the coming year. Yours really are neat. Your tablescape came together for a beautiful design. Thank you for sharing. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteLooks so peaceful and relaxing! I like that so much of what you used was thrifted (from places that help the less fortunate among us). Ever bought something and loved it? Oh yes, I love TOO many things! But it's such fun to shop for estate and thrifted treasures!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!
