Setting the Table….Tablescapes

Folks who know me, know that I love tablescapes!

I get such joy out of setting a pretty table.

Do I set a special table every day?

No, not really! Mostly for special occasions… 

However, most of the time, I do try to make the everyday table attractive.

That is not to say I haven’t grabbed a paper plate and cup for a quick sandwich at lunch, especially if I am eating alone.  but I always have a full set of flatware.  

You just never know when you might need a knife or perhaps a spoon.

Below is a few of my favorites….pics of tablescapes I have used in the past. 

 Lighting makes the table cloth look blue…actually it is a pale lavender.

This was Cherry Blossom Time….

This was St. Patrick’s Day….

This was Valentine’s Day….

This was Chinese New Year….

 This was New Years Eve…..

 This was Christmas….

This was Thanksgiving….

This was Halloween…

These are just a few of the major Holidays!

I guess you can tell that I have a dinnerware and flatware addiction. 🙂

I think I need help….:)

Because these are just a few…

There are many more sets of dishes and flatware.

The Captain had to build me a special closet with heavy duty shelving.

I told you I am weird….

But in a good way! 🙂

Don’t encourage me …… as I have tablescapes for Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July, Labor Day, Crab Boil, President’s Day, Summertime Picnic, Memorial Day, May Day, First Day of Spring, Mardi Gras, Seafood Open Season, Arbor Day, First Day of Winter, Ground Hog Day, First Day of Fall, Birthdays, Anniversaries and pretty much any day that I can use as a special day.

Do you think I need an intervention?

Nah….

Have a great day….

I am going to start planning another Holiday…

National Lawn Mowing Day!

Perhaps some lemon grass in the centerpiece flanked by vases of dandelions and Mason jars full of lightning bugs instead of candles. Maybe little lawnmowers on each plate for namecards. 🙂

hey if we can’t laugh at ourselves…we need to start! 🙂
