63rd Tablescape - White Rose...

From black leather and chrome last week to White Lace and White Roses....I just love tablescaping....

 I picked up these three linen table runners thinking it was just one til I pulled them out of the wash and there were four of them....Giving one to my sister, Dawn for her to use on one of her tablescapes. 
 The runners were so simple I decided to just keep everything white...
 Lite the candles and viola.....
 The ceramic chargers are Homer Laughlin, the plates are Johnson Bros. ironstone and the bowls are Pflatzgraff...

Used one table runner on across as placemats and one down the center, love the criss cross look.
The white roses are clip on clipped to a white bow napkin ring.

62nd Tablescape - VROOOOMMMM VROOOOM

My husband and I sponsor a motorcycle group through our Church.  We meet after second service at Christian Church of the Wildwood in Weeki Wachee.  Ride out stop for lunch then ride for 40 miles stop, rest, fellowship then head back.  Everyone is invited back to our house for dinner!  Sometimes we have as many as 25 sometimes only a few!  But everytime is a great time!  This week I wanted to do a special tablescape just for our group.  They always enjoy my tablescapes and I am hoping that they will really enjoy this one - hope you do too!




 Never thought I would set a table with boots?
 Or wrenches....
 Or a motorcycle's engine guard would sertve as my centerpiece....
 Thanks to my husbands help and donation of parts and tools the table was a great hit!
We had a wonderful ride to Webster then Floral City then back to our house for dinner; we had 12 bikes on the ride - 15 riders and 18 for dinner!



My youngest son, Tuna and his girlfriend, Taylor, drove up and joined us for dinner - what a blessing to have such great family, friends and fellowship!
