Tablescape Thursday

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday! We recently celebrated Steve's birthday and and I themed his birthday dinner around one of his favorites...wine!

I started with a beigey-brow damask table cloth, then topped it with burlap...

I found the napkins at the grocery store. For the place cards, I just copied the napkins onto paper with our printer,

and cut it out using decorative edged scissors. Wrote the names on in gold, then outlined in black.

I made place card holders by undoing a gold paper clip and sticking it in a wine cork. Easy-peasy!

We made the wine bottles into oil lamps by adding specialty made wicks for wine bottles and oil. I usually use them when we eat outside, but this was handy and effective for the theme! The "vino" sign has "wine" printed on the other side (it's old tin) so the guests will have something to view from there, too. I always try to have a view from each side for the centerpiece. Wine corks strewn about for added effect...

A pic with just the candles...

See "Karmere" etched on the wine glass? I used all the glasses that had different winery's names etched on them...we've picked them up from time to time from our wine-tasting jaunts....

The view from the other side....the tin sign reads "wine"....

This is my motto when cooking! ;-)

Thanks, Susan for once again being a gracious host! Check out the other wonderful tablescapes at Between Naps on The Porch!
