Cotton Time

 

Inspiration for this tablescape started with this faux cotton.

I spotted it at Michael's a couple months ago and had to have it. I have lived in FL for almost 50 years, but I grew up in north Alabama cotton country (Huntsville, AL) I've always had a fondness for anything using cotton!

I bought a few other things to complete the cotton centerpiece. This hydrangea made of burlap was perfect in texture.

So was this burlap rose!
 
Can you see the edges have a touch of sparkle gold.




The next color needed was green:



And the rustic wooden tray works really well


Then I remembered this wide ribbon I purchased last year:


                                           Complete!

I also decided to not use a tablecloth as first planned. I like the rustic look on the oak table.

Don't you just love the cotton!?  Brings back memories. I didn't live on a farm, but my grandparents did and I remember the cotton fields, even though I never "picked cotton!"



Square cream plates topped with a green dinner plate on top of twine place mats:

Cream handled flatware.  Double napkins are green with off-white eyelet. The napkin rings are made from the ribbon.


I'm very pleased with how it all turned out!






Here's a place for you!




There's also gold on the edge of the crystal goblets, to tie in with the gold on the rose!

I hope you like it as much as I do!
