One Last Bling of Summer!

 I'm using "bling" for my one last bling of summer tablescape! Thanks, to Cuisine Kathleen for hosting our monthly challenges! Click on her name for lots more fun.

Inspiration for this came from these pretty bling napkin rings and ornaments that I found at Hobby Lobby last spring. They were only $2.99 and $3.99 each with 40% off those prices!

 I almost forgot I had them, and didn't want to miss using them this season, she wanted no "Fall" so I'm gonna brighten up things with Bling! Anyway I'm in no hurry to start fall, we are still hot here in FL!

The bling looks great with my clear dinner and salad plates, and on top of my wedding veil tablecloth.

 The crystal glassware and crystal look flatward pair really well with it all.

The green napkin ring looks lovely. I used four different colors, including a crystal.

Pretty in pink!


The flower shaped ornaments (have a ribbon on them, that's why I'm calling them ornaments!

 I used these for the centerpiece

I love the yellow!

 

 

               The Centerpiece:

I must confess I had a really hard time coming up with a centerpiece, this is the third one and I "settled."

Here's the first one, a crystal compote that I usually keep little soaps in the master bathroom:

It is filled with the clear glass flat marbles, and a necklace.

I just didn't think it was right.

Then I took it away and just used the assortment of crystal candlesticks. Tall tapers just didn't look good either, so I used them with a flat crystal marble on top.
                                                 

                                              Nope.

Next I found this crystal bowl of glass shells in a bedroom, they are pastel, so I used it, placed on top of a short candlestick.




I didn't have a lot of time to work on this one.

So this one has to do.


Choose a place for you, will it be the blue napkin ring?
 

 Or green?

                                           Or crystal?

Or the pink?

                   Would you have chosen this centerpiece?

 I would have spent more time, but had to cut it short and take the pictures because I had to take the tablescape down right away! :-(  We are having the rest of our wood floors installed (four bedrooms) and this was taking place the next day, and we had to store furniture, ETC in the dining room with a ton of stuff on top of the dining room table!   I may put it back later when the mess is gone.

I'm also joining Susan's Tablescape Thursday, click on her name for lots of inspiration.  Thanks, ladies for hosting!

I hope you liked my One Last (Fling) Bling of Summer!
