Sunflowers & Apples

 

I loved setting this table and I want to thank Kathleen Cuisine for the challenge!

I had a rough week last week and it is all behind me. I am in Houston buying a house this week! Hopefully, I will have some nice pictures when I get back to share with you! I am excited!

 I will be in my new house in about a month!

Thank you for all the kind get well messages last week. I am feeling much better.

 

Now on to my tablescape....

I do not own anything with apples on it or apples in it or even apples near it, so I used real apples!

 

And the colors in apples......I tend not to buy themed dishes or items to get more use out of them.

 A red charger with a white plate by Gibson and the green plate by Home Essentials and Beyond.
                       I used my sunflower placemats from Wal-Mart, I bought a while back.
                                I bought the white plates at GW and the green plates at OTP.

My centerpiece of sunflowers and apples in a French vase reminded me of flower vendors on the streets in NYC. The tray my Aunt Elaine (my namesake & my Dad's only sister) painted. She & my Uncle Babe live in Surprise, Arizona. I usually have it hung on a wall in my kitchen or on top of my cabinets. There is a better picture of it below.

I never did this before....I carved a place for the tea light. I liked it and would do it again with other fruits! I told you I loved the challenge. I decided I want to challenge myself to make something or do something new for each challenge. Then I won't get stale! LOL
I am not sure how many of you look for ideas on Pinerest but I love that site! I have some of my tablescapes out on it too. I see many of you do too! We need to keep the juices flowing in blogger land.

The sunflowers were going to be napkin holders but decided to put them in the glass with the napkin.
The red napkins are from Savers.

A better picture of the tray and centerpiece. I used different kinds of apples to include all the colors.

This is how my apples were held in my vase. I put garbage bags in the bottom of the tin vase and then arranged  the flowers and apples. Normally, I would have used Styrofoam but I didn't want to go digging in all my packed stuff.

Another view of my sunflower & apple challenge!

I will be joining:
