A Christmas Tea Tablescape
Today I’m joining up with Layla at The Lettered Cottage. We’re supposed to show some type of Table Decor for the holidays. Well I kind of misunderstood and was thinking it just meant tablescapes. I got my Christmas tea set out that my mother gave me several years ago. She purchased it from Spiegal. (Are they still around?) They’re so delicate and have such a bright crisp pattern that I love. d Tea Time! Hot tea, shortbread, cucumber sandwiches… Mmmm… sounds warming! The temperature outside right now is 29°F. Sending you some warm Christmas Cheer. Linking up with: Romance on a Dime

Audrey Turns 6!

Our 2011 Thanksgiving Tablescape
Not counting the experiment in our Thanksgiving menu, 🙂 we had a lovely Thanksgiving celebration on Sunday. I used the table runner I made with some muslin, scraps of material and the kids’ handprints. Gobble, Gobble, Gobble The centerpiece was simple. I took the idea from Melissa at Life on the Farm – a candle setting in corn. I found the pinecones and other decorations on clearance at Wal-Mart. There’s my turkey plates that I got on clearance last year from World Market for $.69 each. The red plates were being clearanced at Kmart a few years ago because of slight imperfections. The napkins came from World Market. The small cards…
