...saturday night dinner for two

It was a cold and rainy day on Saturday so I decided to set a cozy table for 2 in the kitchen.

 I like the different textures of the wicker against the runner that my mom made for me.

 I thought the rooster and the birdcage went kind of well together.  I think the feather accents add to the birdy theme.

 Plates are from Pier 1 Imports.

 Mercury glass votives from the Dollar store.

Goblets are from Farmhouse furniture.

 Piggy napkin rings I've had for ages and ages....

A view of my island after Christmas has gone away....

thanks for joining me, Babs

My first tablescape

This is my first tablescape Thursday.  It snowed the night before these were taken.  This is a little vignette outside my front door.  I was hosting a birthday brunch for a friend last Sunday and  set my table up with my Grandmothers Blue Willow china.  I realized a few things could have been improved on after I uploaded these photos so please excuse the amateuristic photos.

Table is set for six with Blue Willow china and my blue Pier One Imports chargers.

I collected a few more pieces of silver mercury glass over the Christmas season.  I had a few paperwhite blooms that were still looking fresh when I tossed the rest of them so I put them in a vase.

I made the place cards on the computer and the holders are actually corn cob holders.  Sorry I realize I should have taken more closeups.

After uploading I realized a few things.  I should have added my wine and water glasses for a more finished look and some better close up shots would have been nice.

Thanks for viewing my first tablescape. Barkie
