Tablescape Thursday

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday!!
Recently I had a few ladies from church over for brunch. I wanted a fun, whimsical look for the tables.

I used 'snack-sets'...heirlooms from my mom. I tucked vintage hankies into the handles of the coffee cups on each plate for napkins. The "place mats" are paper napkins I picked up several years ago--a Mackenzie/Child's' pattern. Orange juice was served in vintage punchbowl cups.

The glittery vines for the centerpiece were 80% off at Jo Ann's after Christmas sale!! I love the pastel, spring colors!!

Here's another setting in the formal dining room, too.

The pink votives were 2 for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree!!


The hand painted water glasses were another thrift store find!
Be sure to check out other beautiful tablescapes at Between Naps on the Porch!

  7. The glass plates brought back lots of memories. I'm sure we used them at my wedding reception and last week they were used for a bridal shower. I love the harlequin runner. Was it McKenzie Childs too? Everything looked very inviting. Thanks for sharing. I have posted tables of different colors. Come check them out.

  15. So cute....so happy and inviting...
    The harlaquin runner with everything upon it gives the table a feel of Alice in the Wonderland. ....maybe a Mad Hatters tea

    Hope your day is beautiful...
