Damask October Table 2013

 
Simple table for Sunday.
Damask plates from Pottery Barn several years ago --
bought on clearance.
Fun Halloween plates with damask elements --
I have 6 -- hoping to find two more at some point.
Until then the matching damask plates work fine when we are feeding 8.
 
 
Spider web orange/black fabric by Moda.
 
 
The little black spiders are magnets.
We found them earlier this year.
Placemats are from Hobby Lobby,
originally used for this orange birthday table.

Sunday Table 12

   
 
This table started off with only yellows and blues.
Originally, I had just the blue delphinium
and the small yellow Gerber daisies in the white pitcher.
 
{When we lived in our California base housing, 
I decorated the main living area in yellow and blue.}
Yellow and blue will always make me think of living in California.
Yellow and blue will always make me think of the start of summer.
 

 
Recently when I was walking through Trader Joe's,
I saw the bright bold peonies, and decided to bring some home.
I added them to our yellow and blue table.
 

 
I also pulled out my metal 'granny tray'... not exactly sure why I call it that.
Metal trays -- and metal TV trays -- and aluminum tumbler cups for that matter
make me think of my paternal grandparents.  
 


I'm not sure if I preferred the table in just yellow and blue,
or if I like the pop of color.
Either way, cheers to summer and pretty colors.

 
This table marks a dozen Sunday tables --
plus another half dozen or so holiday tables that I've blogged about.

Easter 2013

Easter Table
 
We are not hosting Easter this year,
but I still set an Easter/Spring inspired table.
 
 
These eggs are my favorite -- I LOVE the colors, plus they have a little glitter/sparkle.
I found them at a new Target that was just opening when we lived in Mississippi.
 
 The bark placemats, the nests, and the moss chargers were a fun find from my favorite
garden store Courtney Farms.
Courtney Farms is in Ocean Springs, MS. on Bienville Blvd. 
Always a great stop for inspiration and treasures!
Miss that place...
 
Both the dinner plates and the salad plates
are from Tuesday Morning {a year or two back}.
 
 
Happy Easter!
Happy Spring!
