For the Birds, Two!

The birds are really singing today, so I am sharing a table from last spring celebrating them. Can you believe Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday????!!!!
I am sharing this with Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch and Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life.
My table today is inspired by all the Spring birds!



I used a yellow table cloth with some pink chiffon as a "runner".



For each place setting I used a gold charger and Royal Doulton Canton china. I picked this out before I got married and I still love it! I used pink napkins with gold napkin rings. My flatware is Oneida Stainless Wordsworth and the stemware is Fostoria and gold glasses from TJ Maxx my daughters gave to me a few years ago. At each place I used a Bird Cage place card holder & tealight holder from Target.com.





For my centerpiece, I used a larger birdcage filled with flowers surrounded by the famous Target bird salt and pepper shakers and Bird tealight holders.



I put some pink chiffon on the mantle and a glass basket with pink flowers to coordinate.



I finally got my hanging shelf hung and filled it with Eater do-dads!





My wicker tea cart has some bunnies also!



Hope you are enjoying the Spring and the birds!

Summer Topiaries

I have had a bit of a blog break but I am back! Will be linking to Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday, of course!

This table is called Summer Topiaries after the cute placecard holders I got from Target.com.



My spring/early summer colors of yellow and hot pink are still making me happy, so I started with the yellow tablecloth and used the pink chiffon as a runner.



I wanted to make a large topiary for the centerpiece, but work and the beach have gotten in the way, so I pulled out the birdcage and filled it with flowers.



I used green place mats and the white Gibson Claremont china that everyone in blogland has thanks to Gollum.



I used Vera Bradley napkins and green goblets and of course the topiary placecard holders.



And I continued the pink on the mantle.
