Imagination Celebration

We are celebrating today! Nothing special,  just celebrating that we are alive & well!
Did I tell you that you would have to use your imagination?
Why you ask? I couldn't possibly buy or make all the goodies you are going to imagine!
So are you ready to use your imagination and take a look at  my dessert table?
First, you have to imagine my buffet all decked out..........in pink, green & yellow!
Are you ready??/ Here we go.............................................................................

My inspiration for my Imagination Celebration are dishes my friend, Judy, found at Goodwill. I love them and really can't wait to have friends over to my new house in Texas. I have four but I am sure I  can mix & match with others!

                                                        I used my polka dot placemats
                                            I bought at the Dollar Store a few years ago
                                                                       to show them off!

                                                           I set my buffet in the living room.
                                      I used my ice cream dishes to hold my green and yellow napkins.   
                                                     My lamp gave us a little bit of  pretty.
 
 
 
On the other end I used a silver three tiered pastry tray and a silver candelabra for a romantic touch.
Get ready to imagine................................
all the images you are about to see are ZERO CALORIES!
                                                
                                                Now on this silver pastry tray, I would do this!
                                                   Strawberries are my all time favorite!
                                                                Big, Beautiful & Ripe!
                                                        Can you taste their sweetness???
                                                          Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

                                   And don't let me forget my candlewick & white cake plates.......

                                                                  IMAGINE...............

                                    Beautiful, dark chocolate brownie bites....on the first tier.
                                                   My mouth is just watering looking at these!


                                                   And these banana bites on the second tier.
 
And these luscious tarts on the third tier!

 
Oh My,...................
See, now you know why I couldn't do a real dessert buffet table...
It would be my duty to eat every last morsel! lol
 
Last but not least.............................................................
 
                             My ice cream glasses.........................vintage from dear, old, mom!


                            In my ice cream glasses imagine chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce                               covered in whipped cream........
 
How about this one!!!!!!
                                                                             YUM.......

                                                                            Or this one!

                    I saved my favorite for last......strawberry shortcake in a wine glass! PRICELESS!



                       I hope you drooled over my Imagination Celebration.
                                    If you did, I did my job.
                                                 If not, you have to be dead! lol
                                                          or one of those skinny girls that don't eat! lol


I thought I'd show you a few tables............

    I love your imagination! I am still chuckling about the desserts and how to use my imagination. I love your new dessert plates from your friend. Texans love a party and your idea of a dessert party sounds wonderful! Have a great Labor Day!

    Hi Elaine, You have certainly tempted me with all these goodies! I think the chocolate table is my favorite (I can never resist chocolate!) but the citrus table is wonderful too. I love your ice cream dishes! I think you will enjoy using them. Linda

    Those plates are what we call "stinking cute"! You paired them perfectly with the pink polka dot place mats, too. All the imagined sweets look so good. It's a good thing we aren't really eating them. He he. Thanks for your sweet sweet comment the other day. Blessings my friend! Dawn @ We Call It Junkin
