TABLESCAPE THURSDAY - MY FIRST!

Welcome to my first Tablescape Thursday! I want to thank the very talented Susan, Between Naps on The Porch, for hosting!

This is my 2nd blog party (I did pink sunday). If you are a new blogger, just click on the link at the end of this post and Susan has a list of all the participants where you can click a name and see their amazing tablescapes!

Be sure to see them all if you can! I am looking forward to seeing all the lovely tablescape that everyone made especially for today!

Now let me just say, I was not as organized as I thought I'd be. My original tablescape was not working out as I had envisioned....So on to plan B! lol

Without further ado, I present .....

"Finishing Touches"


Our meal is ready, the wine is chilling, my guest is due momentarily. I just need to put the finishing touches on my table.

A quick check from all sides...


I'd better finish up!...oops don't want to sit on that!

    What a show stopper for your inaugural tablescape. There was a lot of time and thought put in on your creation - it shows. I've had a blog for about 5 months and it's all so amazing still.

    Wow...Tina this is postively gorgeous! Your amazing garden is such a wonderful backdrop! I would never want to leave this table! I love the kitty pic in the post above...what a sweet baby! Thanks for the info on the pics I posted...yours do not look cut off at all. I think I may have figured the issue out...I'll try to blog about it sometime soon, in case it is helpful for others. So glad you participated in TT! This was just the most beautiful tablescape...I love all the special details. Your china and crystal is lovely! Look forward to you participating again...this has been a treat! Susan
