My inspiration for this Tablescape was a trip to the
Island of Jamaica!~~~
I purchased this dinnerware from Kohl's and Pier One !!!
Will its time to Eat Ladie !!! I do hope you like grilled Jumbo Shrimp with
Mango Dip so good !!
How about some Justin Wilson's Louisiana Seafood Gumbo ~~~
My palm tree glasses are Hand Painted !!
I purchased from the Dollar Tree store for a $1.00 each ~~ Five years ago.
My centerpiece is mix flowers from the store, and my Garden~~
The red, and black parrot's are from Macy's
The light green placemats came from the Thrift Shop !! six for $2.00
I hope you had a good time with us on the Island of Jamaica~~~
I hope you all come Back!! Please take a moment to comment.
Thank you so much!! I am linking up with these Blogs for their linky parties !!

I sure enjoyed my trip to Jamaica! I'll play pretend for warm sunny climates any time as we are getting so much rain here in the eastern part of Canada. Your tablescape is just beautiful! Love the palm tree glasses! Pamela
I so enjoyed my visit to Jamaica! What a fun and fabulous tablescape. I love the birds, the plates, the stems, the flowers, everything.... I definitely could go for some chilled shrimp and mango salsa. Yum! xo,
Hi Diane! This is really a pretty table, would make the best of meals taste better!
What a great job you have done tying all the elements together. There is a lot of drama here as well as just plain fun. And thinking ahead, there is much you can use in December.
Very pretty table Diane... whats for dinner?

I love the island theme__some of my favorite colors. Where do you keep all your lovely dishes and accessories? This one is one of my favorites. I'll be looking at your archives to find others. I just may have to steal..um...borrow an idea.
Looking forward to the next beautiful idea.

Hi Diane, I got your comment and was puzzled at what you said about missing my comments. I left one on your blue, white and yellow last week. It seems to have disappeared. There is also a comment from me on your Dessert Rose post,dated April 29th. I'm still checking but I remember those two recent posts in particular. Last week was the week of the great blogger dilemma, so my comment might have disappeared on that post.
Your table today, is lovely.
I came back! I love your flatware sweetie, it looks vintage silver, just gorgeous! I'm also at Susans, TT.
Hugs

It is such an "island" table! I especially like the white petal plates in your placesetting. They really set the mood of the table. So pretty.
Your table is lovely. I adore those glasses...don't you just love the Dollar Tree??
Love this! I really like those napkin rings. Those glasses are so pretty, I haven't seen any like those at our dollar tree.I like how you mixed the dishes and hat menu sounds fabulous! Now following.
How wonderful to be able to dine at such beautiful and fun tables. Your lucky family and friends must really enjoy meals at your table.
Perfect as always, I am LOVING those big ole napkin rings!! Have a great evening! (hugs)

What a colorful table! This looks so cheerful -- just like a tropical vacation!
Just as lovely as can be! I love all the red and your flatware is beautiful. I have my Grandma's flatware, I should really use it more.
I love how you celebrate your meals with such beautiful table settings. Also a pleasure visiting you!

OMG!!! I want....no....NEED those teacups!!! this is a gorgeous creation....as usual...I wish you lived closer..we could share those teacups...at MY house...and you could teach me to table scape!!!!

Love these dishes and the colors. You know, you can never run out of room for dishes. You just have to pare down other things...hubby's clothes, children's toys, bill drawers...you know...non essentials!!
Diane, I remember this. I love those glasses. I remember you used to have them on your header.
Great table!
