I love designing tablescapes. I started back in September 2010 and I now design tablescapes to share on my blog as well as on "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursdays.

My passion for designing tablescapes has sent me out on a search to buy more dishes that I can share every week.

I also enjoy making my own napkins to go with my different dishes and I love to mix and match some of my beautiful dishes.

Happy Halloween ~


My Inspiration for this Tablescape was the love of
Halloween ~~


I only have four layers of dinnerware for each setting this time.
I made the orange and black napkins for this Halloween table two year's ago.


I purchase my Amber dinner plates and glasses two years ago.
The pattern is Sandwish and the company is Tiara from the 1940th.

The wine glasses are from the same pattern as the dinner plates.
All eight for $7.00 This was a great buy.

How do you like my black spiders holing a tea candle for my napkin
rings !! I purchased them from my Randall's food store some time ago.

 Time for a glass of wine!
Do all remember Susan from Naps on the porch putting
this pumpkin together for her table.?


I hope you and your family have a wonderful Halloween
with your family on October 31

I know you need to know what's for dinner this coming
Thursday. Beef Stroganoff with steamed rice, string beans. For desert Chocolate Moose. So Yummy!
I hope you all come back!! Please take a moment to
comment. Thank you so much!! I'm linking up

Two Tablescapes For Thanksgiving.

My inspiration for my two Tablescapes was having family and friends
over for Thanksgiving Day, so I did need more room to sit down to eat.

I did this centerpiece just for this Thanksgiving dinner.

I have five layers of china on the gold charger.
The pattern is called Miami by Theodore Haviland. This was my 
Mother-in-law's china, she had great taste.

Dessert plate.

Salad plate.

Dinner plate.

I made my napkins for Thanksgiving three year ago.

I did add some wild turkey feathers to my centerpiece.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day.
Coming up in 17 more day's.
This is my other Tablescape for Thanksgiving Day.
Just 17 more days before the Turkey goes in the oven.

I would like to thank you all so much for all your
sweet comments this past year's! I see you all as part of my family.
This is the coffee and wine Buffet..

Since my family is coming over to join me on Thanksgiving Day, I'm not doing to much cooking. 
I am covering the basics such as the turkey, dressing, and gravy, My guests are bringing the 
open dishes of assorted foods to complete our meal.

From my family to your family, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!


I hope you all come Back!!

placemats from Wal-Mart. With my crocheted one on top.

for Fall. I purchased the black crows from the
Dollar Tree store just for some fun on my table.
The centerpiece was put together with
a grapevine wreath from Michaels. I purchased the
Mums from Home Depot.
The table is set and ready for you!!
Lets light the candles and have some Apple Cider
with a stict of cinnamon if you like.
I purchased the candle holders from CVS.
I used a dark orange and yellow napkins
becouse of the colors in the Grapevine, all the colors
of fall~ I hope you are having a good time!!
