Giveaway Items - Beautiful

In winning the wonderful giveaway sponsored by Jeannett & Doug at http://gafoodies.blogspot.com/ I shopped from pics that Jeannette sent to me via email.
The Center apothecary jar was one I picked from a picture of several items that Doug had the opportunity to preview from an auction and he was able to win that item for me.
The two candelsticks on either side of the lighted glass block were two more items that I selected from pics.

This was a wonderful giveaway and I know it took alot of time and effort on both Jeanette and Doug's part. It was fabulous experience and the start of a wonderful friendship. Please stop by their blog and say HI! Thanks again you two - you are awesome!

My First "Breakfast Barscape"

Thought I would set the breakfast bar for this week's "Tablescape Thursday". Set the matching chef bowls in the center, a candle at each setting...
Using the large "pasta" ceramic plate/bowls; alternating colors:green & yellow
Hammered spoon end napkin rings & Wm Rogers & Sons 1941 silverware
We had dinner by candlelight and it was just a beautiful setting which made for a warm & cozy meal.
