A close-up of one of the deer plates -- they are all a little different. 
 I really, really love these plates!  Wish I had a dozen of them!
Somewhere they were described as 'Snow White meets Narnia'!
Such a great description!

*Today I spray painted the candlesticks aqua,

 and splattered a little white on them for a snowy look.

They were originally gold.

I've had them for several years.

{I love how they look with our aqua deer plates.}

 

I wrote a post 'Oh Deer!' in January 2010

about my love of deer themed dishes.

I'll be using them a lot during the months of December & January.

Trying to find new creative ways to use them.

{One of the sets I bought from a Target in California in the late 90s.

I've carried that fun after-Christmas-find all across the country & back again!}

Sunday Table 1

 

One of my 2012 goals was to set a beautiful table each Sunday!

Since this is October -- and this is the first tablescape I'm posting --

you might get a feel for just how unsuccessful I have been with this specific goal!

But hey, there is still one quarter of 2012...so I can still set several pretty tables!

Right?

 

 

We have a square table, which for some unknown reason, I always think

our table is particularly hard to decorate.  But it really isn't!

Rectangle placemats overlap, so I'm a little limited to round placemats and chargers. 

I put a charger on a cake stand for the centerpiece.

Candle sticks were from Hobby Lobby several years ago.

Velvet pumpkins I bought last year.

 

I always keep an eye out for 90 inch round tablecloths.

{It is SO HARD to find pretty square tablecloths!}

This one looks like burlap, but it isn't -- it has a pretty weave,

and is really rather soft.

I found it at Bed Bath & Beyond.

 

I love it when people post where they found their table treasures.

Let me see if I can remember where mine came from:

Flatware, stemware, tablecloth, and salad plates - Bed Bath & Beyond

Chargers and napkin rings - Pier One

Solid color plates - Tai Pan Trading {last year}

Napkins - Tuesday Morning

 

Cheers to working on goals -- even last quarter!
