Welcome to Tablescape Thursday! Hosted by the lovely Susan of Between Naps on the Porch!I recently invited my girl-friends from my Thursday morning Bible Study over for lunch. I love any opportunity to 'girly-up' a Tablescape!! ;-)
This was the centerpiece, only it was on the end so as to have more room for the serving pieces.I love this quote and thought it perfect for the setting, as most of the women hadn't been to my home and it gives a little insight into who I am...
Once again, I set the table using mostly my garage-sale and thrift store finds. The tablecloth is an old, old coverlet for a full size bed...
..a close up of the place setting....
These darling little silver 'nut dishes' (a cherished gift from a dear friend of mine) held an individual chocolate for each place setting. I bought the chocolates wrapped in silver and then wrapped them with strips of pretty scrapbook paper...easy to do and can use any color of paper to match your tablescape theme!!
The main meal was a salad, and I offered two different dressings. A creamy dressing was served in the gravy boat and the vinaigrette was served in the creamer...
Another view of the table...
Be sure to visit other gal's beautiful Tablescapes over at Between Naps on the Porch!

Such a beautiful girly table. Love that frame and the saying that is in it. All of your pretty pastel floral china pieces are lovely. Those pink goblets are stunning. I really like the idea of that old bedspread as a tablecloth. What a lovely luncheon this was. laurie

ReplyDeleteHope you will stop by and see me soon. I am going to have a "card box" giveaway every month. This drawing will be the last day of April.
Every comment you leave throughout the month will enter your name in the drawing.
This NEW blogger was so touched by all the comments I got on the Blog Party, that I decided to make this a monthly GIFT...
How is that for an incentive?
I was so blown away by all the responses that I wanted to email each person personally, but TIME... just has not permitted..but I did love reading all of them..I am continuing to introduce my family members and then there will be some fun blogs coming up from Disney World in May. I am so thankful for all my new friends.
oooo, your friends are very lucky, your table is heaven :)
