Tablescape Thursday

Congratulations to Susan on the 100th Tablescape Thursday! She suggested we post an outdoor tablescape, or a party tablescape for this fun occasion. I returned home from vacation sick and haven't been able to do what I had planned which was go to the beach to take pictures of an outdoor tablescape on the picnic tables there. Due to not feeling well I am posting a tablescape I did a year ago. It is a very inexpensive tablescape, but full of lots of neat ideas! I think it is festive enough for a celebration party, don't you!

I know most of you have seen these clear cut-glass plates at Dollar Tree, I saw them several times before I decided to buy them. They kept beckoning to me, but I didn't want to get them, store them, etc. Finally I gave in since they were only six dollars for all the cups and six dollars for the plates! I already had the clear salad plates. I love anything antique or Victorian looking!

I couldn't decide which color table cloth with the clear plates, I purposely didn't use chargers or placemats because I wanted the design and color to show through. I decided to use an ecru table cover and the wedding lace tablecloth on top. I love this vintage look tablecloth.

These little bottle vases were at Target for $3.99 for four. I first bought them to give our little grandkids to put little flowers in for their mothers, then I had the idea to use them at each place setting in tablescapes, so I went back and bought more.

The centerpiece is a pretty little skirt vase of a little Victorian lady.

I decided to use the deep wine roses since everything else was subtle.

The cloche came from Tuesday Morning, on sale for $13, I like the etching on it, kinda matches the tablecloth.

Napkin "rings":

The napkins "rings" are actually barrettes! When I saw these barrettes at an outlet store, and they were only $1.50 each, I bought them. I don't have long hair and can't wear them, but I knew what I would use them for!

Each place setting has a different barrette:

The one below is a Victorian look clip!

The barrette below has a cameo on it:

The serving dishes are crystal cut-glass. This pretty little vintage fan-shaped dish was a gift from a friend.



I just realized I forgot to put out the flatware before I took the pictures! We had a bad thunderstorm and the power was off over an hour, so I didn't take the time to do them all over again!

Can you see the vase of roses on the back of the lady?

I had so much fun putting this tablescape together!
It was very inexpensive, yet elegant looking!

I hope you enjoyed seeing my tablescape!

Go here for lots more inspiration!

Thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting this fun event each week, so we can play with our dishes and have fun! Here's to another 100 tablescape posts!!

Have a happy day!
God Bless.
