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.

~~~My Garden Tablescapes~~~

My inspiration for this Tablescape was looking
at some pictures of my garden last Spring.
I have a dark green tablecloth and my crocheted
one over it for some textured.
I made my napkins one more time because I could
not find ones with Magnolias. All six are lined
for a crisp look.
The focal point of my Tablescape is the centerpice,
an old watering can I used for my flower
arrangement. The flowers are Alstro mixed with
baby breath.
My white duck is for bread sticks.

I love using real flowers.
Come be my guests!!
My water goblets and wine glasses are from
Hidden Treasures.
I purchased my dinnerware from the Dollar store,
but the fruit plates are vintage over 60 years old.
I have this plate on the left side.
I love a candle light dinner it really sets the
mood for my guest ~~
I hope you all come back!!! Please take a
moment to comment and thank you so much!
Have a great time and fun with your BLOG!!!

~~~River Rock Tablescapes~~~

I purchased my napkins and the green napkin rings
from Pier One. I was lucky to find them both on sale.
My vase is full of yellow roses with baby breath
that I bought from my Randall's food store for only
$4.99. I had so many flowers leftover I did one more
flower arrangement !!!
We love to have family and friends over for dinner!!
My vase also has a glaze. If you look close it has
the same look as the Stoneware! I purchased the
vase from the Family Dollar store.
I purchased my stoneware from the Wal-Mart!
The name of the dinnerware is Bazaar !!
Salad dishes
Dinner plate.
My inspiration for this Tablescape is from a
walk alongside a river bed. So beautiful with the
sun shining on the water and all the colors of the
rocks!!!
I hope you all come back !!!
Please take a moment to comment and thank you
so much ! Have a great time with your Blog.

I decided to have a Romantic dinner with my
Husband~~~
I did not make my napkins this time. The white
ones are my Vintage ones with a accent of red !
I decided to add Red Cardinals to the napkins ring
just for fun.
I did use my Vintage flatware with my thin
stemware for this Romantic evening with my sweet
husband of 24 years.
I told my husband wish we had a ocean view~~
He said we don't need one we have each other !!
How sweet of him~~
Let's light the candles and have a glass's
of wine !!!
Lace covered table and a cozy dinner for Two !!!
I use the centerpiece from my lest Tablescapes``
I did add pink rose's from my garden !!!
