My First Attempt, Oh My!


First I would like to thank Susan for hosting this wonderful "party" of Tablescaping. Please visit her inspiring site at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/
I'm starting my tablescaping adventure with a dinner outside on the deck with my sister who was visiting. I believe she probably thinks I'm a little demented for taking on more hobbies. I didn't see all my mistakes till I was loading these photos! Where the heck is the silverware??
All the dishes in this setting were bought at Goodwill for a song. Place-mats from Walmart.

Love these little bird S & P; I found them at Target.




Dinner outside on the deck.


This lovely teapot I found at Marshalls

  4. You have fingers don't you? Who need cutlery. Oh wait it is Rotini and sauce. This could get a little messy.
    It looks very pretty. I never see my mistakes until after I have posted. Even in the preview things are all lined up and then BAM they move as soon as I post.
