Barscape - Dinner tonight

Barscape for our dinner tonight....

Simple light green/white placemat; love these basket weave white dishes courtesy of my sister, Dawn (you can visit her blog at http://www.dtipton1.blogspot.com/)


Classic white linen napkins go with everything...the napkin ring is a pale green over brass ring.

The placemates are quilted with white embroidery - the detail was too pretty not to get a picture of; the flatware is stainless steel with ivory handles - I picked them up at a thrift store - they do not have a name or brand - but the handles are ivory.

Found these fun spring glasses at Goodwill for $1.06 each - couldn't pass them up!

Overview of the individual setting

Both settings together - I have the green polka dotted flower vases and a smaller pillar candle; we enjoyed dinner by candlelight!

Wine tray

Before leaving on vacation I put out this wine tray for my wonderful neighbors that were kind enough to come over everyday to take care of the dogs....

Using a silver serving tray that I covered with a square linen napkin that I drapped on the diagonal



Two different colored wine glasses and two linen finger napkins...

My neighbors thought it was the sweetest thing, they enjoyed the wine and took great care of my dogs...Thank you Chris & Lenny....

Easter Tablescape

Easter time is here and the Easter Bunny has been to my house decorating my table....
Overview of entire table



I used those cute little window cling on's around my table - a benefit of having a glass table....

An overview of the placesetting.

These green plates I found at Ross - each one has a different animal - a pig, a bunny, & a rooster - I fell in love with them - $2.99 each


The bunny napkin rings I found at a thrift store they are ceramic - they were $1 each.

The egg candles are nestled in a bed of craft grass in a silver basket...

the egg name setting are sitting in green tumblers; I found the name place settings at Ross - 4 for $3.99; the tumblers from Goodwill $1.00 each.

This cute little blue & purple basket is ceramic filled with styrofoam eggs and a big egg candle on top.

Easter egg topiary I found 2 of them at a thrift store - they were each $1.

This is a candleholder - light blue - holds regular tealight candles but I put easter egg candles in it and just love the way it turned out...

another little ceramic basket, green & white; craft grass and decorated eggs; also notice the bunny taper candles....

Had a little fun with the buffet as well!

Happy Easter everyone! Thank you for viewing my blog.....
