Well my girl is going back to school and I am a little sad I have to tell ya! I don't think it will be as much fun creating tablescapes without her. Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be her first official day as a sophmore. It's going to be pretty quiet and lonesome around here for a few days....well until I get used to it. My hubby is starting a new shift at work too, things are kinda "topsy turvy"! It will straighten out soon and we will find our rythm once again. Until then Anika and I decided there was still time for one more last minute tablescape......
Okay first of all let me tell you how many sets of flatware we have, well we have PLENTY!~ (Anika do you want to count again?) Look what is on this table AGAIN! Please people don't laugh at me, but it just seems to follow us where ever we go. We tried soooo many sets of flatware today and it came back to this crazy JS again! I swear I am going to hide it from myself so I can't use it for awhile, but it always like so nice. lol~
Sage green plates are from the Kmart botique along with those darn flatware pieces. (love the plates, have very little to say about the flatware other than they are pretty) Pink "Georgian" eggshell Homer Laughlin was an ebay score...very, very cheap because they only had the bowls left....hey, I have nottin against mix and matching!
Pink crinkle tumblers were a yard sale find and I nabbed the juice glasses too....$1 for the whole set. Stems? Good old Dollar Tree!! Napkins were a clearance at Burke's outlet and as always....tablecloths from linentabloth.com.
My Apothecary jar (which I just adore) was also a yard sale find. Later I found one at Hobby Lobby for a tidy sum and I paid $5!! Oh we love filling her up with all kinds of stuff, but my favorite is tea or coffee cups.After I look over these pics for awhile I decided I kinda sorta didn't like the little faux "baby breath" floral thingy arrangment. I sent Anika outside to shoot a couple pictures without out it on the table.......I think I like the simple look of this better!
I don't know how many tablescape we will get in this coming fall, between school, cross country, 4-H etc....but we will try. I know we will be very busy and I may have a limited amount of time in front of my computer. I know a lot of you are moms of school age children too and I would like to hear how you fit it all in. I only have the one teenage girl and sometimes she keeps me sooo busy I feel like I can see myself coming and going out the door......can't imagine 2 or 3 children running to different places!!Oh I will have some of the best news tomarrow if everything goes as planned. I hope you will join me to find out what it is!!
