Tablescape Tuesdays



Do any of you watch Sandra Lee on the Food Network channel? Every show she has a theme and coordinates everything from her entire kitchen decor and equipment, to matching clothes, and great tablescapes. Well, every Tuesday check back in for a feature tablescape. Today, it is one of mine. I had a few girlfriends over for a luncheon and wanted some color and fun. Each of my friends has a daughter and they had their own table and we had ours.
The centerpiece is filled with kiddie mix. I wanted to use layered either jelly beans or gum balls the same colors as the flowers but couldn't find what I wanted in time. So I opted for the kiddie mix. I got the daisies (my favorite flower) at Michael's.
I hope you can see that the napkin rings are butterflies- got from Target and the plates have butterflies on them as well- got from The HomeGoods store.
On each plate I put an little notebook with each friends first initial as name cards. Got from the dollar bin at Michael's - they matched perfectly.
Menu was simply fruit, crackers, cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, deli wraps, and gourmet cookies (which I found in the food section of Marshall's- I love looking down that aisle).
Hope this sparks some ideas...please send me pics and/or comments!
By the way this post posted on Thursday's date because I started this last week. I'm new at blogging hopefully I will learn all of the tricks soon!
