Playing Dishes

Anika is my 15 year old daughter.  Her and I did a little tablescaping today.  We split a table in half and we each took and end.

 As you can see, we both came up with very different versions of table settings!  Mine a darker richer color scheme, hers subdued and soft.

 I just recieved my Sakura bowls with cherries in the mail today so I had to play with them!  My little tiny red bowls came from Home Goods a few days ago and I have the "shouldas" cuz I only nabbed 4!  A big red tissue paper flower that I learned how to make from a tutorial on Utube, is my centerpiece.  Oh my new flatware from Amazon which I totally adore!
Here is the link for the silverware: Hampton Forge San Remo 20-Piece Flatware Set with Black Handles, Service for 4

 I threw in the Coke glasses at the very last second because I thought about cherry Coca~Cola....how cool is that? what a neat drink to have with dinner with these setting!

This is Anika's first tablescape on the blog.

She did a GREAT job don't you think?

She redid it over and over soooo many times and every time it looked a little different.

There were a couple of times I wanted to stop and help, but I DIDN'T!

She did it by herself and I am proud.......she even wants to do it again, but I see she is laying down right now with her eyes closed ~Giggle!

She took her own pictures and edited them all by herself too....way to go girl!!

It was a lot of fun to "play dishes" with her.....I hope she will never be too old to have this kinda fun with mom again!!

I LOVE YOU MY ANIKA!

A New Country!

When I see my blog some mornings I get very excited!  There happens to be a "hit" from a new country and it just tickles me pink!  Although I will never know who it is or where in that country it comes from, it still makes me smile :)

I hope if you are stopping by from another country or just down the street, you would leave a comment and let me know where you are from.  I would like to know who stopped by to wander around and I would like to personally say "Hi"!

I saw someone from Argentina, Germany, Denmark, Austraila and Canada. So I guess I am saying "WELCOME to all of you thank you for stopping by and coming back!"
