Tablescape Thursday! The day we get to play with our dishes, share with others, and see what tablescapes they are sharing! Thanks to
Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting each week! Go here to see many more tablescapes.

It is exciting to see how these tablescapes come together. Each week I don't think I'll have anything new to come up with, but so far something comes together somehow. This week's tablescape started with these napkins:

I saw these napkins at Marshall's a few weeks ago. At first I walked past them, but went back to get them because I liked the colors. At the time I had no idea how I would use them.
When I came home I took out my butterscotch yellow dishes to see if the napkins would go with them, hmmm, yes, they do, but now I would have to come up with a centerpiece. Couldn't find anything.
A week or so later we had to drive to Daytona Beach for a doctor appointment. We had lunch first, then had about 30 minutes before the appointment. Just enough time to run into a Ross that was closeby! I made a quick run through Ross, oh the thrill of the hunt!! LOL! Nothing.
Wait, what's that I just passed by? I turned around for a second look. Hmmm, would this work? I could always give it as a gift to someone later.

I really like Jim Shore's things, but they really don't match my decor. This is a copy of Jim Shore's. Isn't she cute?

I was so excited to see that this little chicken did indeed match the dishes and napkins!
I had a new tablescape!

The burgundy tone-on-tone tablecloth
gives a nice contrast to the yellows

I tied the napkins with satin ribbon and tucked
in a few small fall flowers

I used yellow handled flatware

This tablescape is a breakfast or brunch tablescape
with bagels, juice, and coffee

The baby chicks on the mother hen are really cute!
Best of all this Jim Shore copy only cost $6.99!

She makes a great centerpiece, don't you think?

A while ago I used these same dishes in a more formal tablescape:

to see that tablescape, go
here.
This tablescape with the same dishes is much more casual:

Okay, look what else I bought! They looked so sad to be left behind, I just had to bring them home as well! How cute are they!

I decided not to include them in the chicken tablescape, maybe their time will come later.


I hope you enjoyed seeing this tablescape! I enjoyed putting it together!

This place setting is for you! Tea or coffee?
Have a happy day!
God Bless.
