Tablescape Thursday

Welcome to my Tablescape Thursday!

I'm calling today's tablescape "Cameo Appearance!"

The inspiration for this tablescape comes from this little voltive holder I found at Dollar Tree. I knew right away I wanted to use them for a tablescape.


Last summer while visiting my sister she gave me a lot of costume jewelry and some of these cameo pins was in with all of it.

The centerpiece is made from this mirror and candles
that sits on our coffee table in our family room.

I needed a cameo type picture to go in this cute little frame, so I googled and found this great silhouette! I couldn't believe it fit perfectly in this frame! I just love it! A cameo ring and earrings are also scattered on the mirror. The reflection in the mirror is the burgundy colored ceiling above the dining room table!

I've said I'm not going to spend a lot of money doing these tablescapes, not buying anymore china, but when I was at Hobby Lobby last weekend these plates were on sale for 80% off! This made them only $2.80 each!! Now, I couldn't resist this bargain, could I?!!

The serving pieces are assorted clear cutglass dishes, I think they match the crystal water goblets. The flatware is Chippendale by Oneida, I think the gold on them goes well with the touches of gold around the onyx colored plates.

The salad plates don't show how pretty they are, here's a closer look:

You can see the design through the salad plates if you hold them up to the light:
I bought these four salad plates at Ross for about $4.99.



I used the cameo pins on the napkin rings. I thought folding these napkins into a fan shape was very appropriate to go with the ladies in the cameos.

Close-ups of the cameos:

I will do another tablescape soon using these same plates with my gold-leaf chargers, they are in the attic and I couldn't get them down today. To see these gold-leaf chargers, go here, to the Christmas in July tablescape I posted a few days ago. I think these gold chargers will look great with these plates, don't you? I'm already making plans for another tablescape with these pretty plates!


I hope you enjoyed seeing my Cameo Appearance Tablescape Thursday!



Thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting the Tablescape Thursdays, go here for lots more inspiration!



Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Don't forget to go here to see my Christmas in July tablescape if you haven't seen it! Here's a little preview below:. Note: I can't get the link to work here, must be because I've posted it once already. Just scroll down ( http://thingsienjooy.blogspot.com/ ) to last Saturday. I just tried to make that a link, maybe it will work!
