Tablescape Thursday and Giveaway Reminder


I am leaving for Southern California to spend a few days with my son and daughter-in-love, and attending Amy's baby shower..it's getting close! She's due December 15th~I can hardly wait!!
So...I am running a repeat of  a tablescape I did last year and thought maybe you'd like this idea for place cards. You could get started making them well in advance for the holidays!
I made ATC's with each person's initial on them and placed them on their plate. Then they took them home with them...



I layered a large bolt of toile fabric over a gold tablecloth...just bunched it up and arranged it. Used my blue plates on top of gold chargers.


Napkins were a thrift store find, and napkin rings were a birthday gift from a friend years ago..(thanks Sheri!)
Used my handpainted wine glasses that I painted with holly berries and pine cones..I always change them out from the floral ones I use in the summer.
Be sure to visit Between Naps on the Porch for other wonderful tablescape ideas!
And a little reminder of my GIVEAWAY...you can enter on THIS POST and the winner will be notified the evening of October 7th!
Here's a peek at what I'm offering:


I'll be back next week!!

    You always have the most beautiful table settings! I love the place cards. I am very into ATC's now and I am definitely going to do that. What a great idea!

    Hope you enjoyed your trip to see your family. Sounds like it would be a very special time.

    I also love those bookshelves you have a post or two back. Very clever!

    ~Bon Voyage & safe travel vibes~

    Since I didn't see your tablescape last year, its very new to me & still lovely. Your artist trading cards are delightful & I'm sure the guests were very pleased to take their own home with them.
