A Stylish Cure!

I've been sick for the last three days. I kept waiting for my energy to return, so I could dive head first into another tablescape. But, I would look at my stack of dishes and just sigh. I didn't want to skip a week, so I went with how I feel.

In an attempt to cheer myself up, I put together a trayscape.

I tried both a red apple and a green one. I love the pop of color of the green one.

The plate and matching bowl and cup came from Ross, but weren't purchased at the same time.

If I really love something, I will patiently wait for pieces to come available.

This very special teapot is part of a set made for me at the time of my first wedding by my

parent's next door neighbor. Let's see...that makes it...uh, very old. It has amazing detail. 

The handle has a hand!

A little bit creepy. This side shows flying women chasing a man on a horse! I have no idea what that is about!

Here is the napkin ring from my fall table. I chose an ivory napkin to match the teapot.

Keeping with the season (though we got more snow today) I put together an arrangement of silk leaves,

fall flowers and berries. I bought this vase years ago at Goodwill, but have never used it.

I guess I was waiting for today.

I am always looking for trays and this one caught my eye for it's elegance and warm colors.

Ordinarily, I would not decorate with food, but I was in need of some chicken soup.

Let's face it, it's a little late for an apple a day to keep the doctor away.

So, my cure for everything is chocolate.

A few more shots. No candles--fire and cold medicine don't mix!

So, thank you for paying me a visit today. It's better than chicken soup!

And, next week, I promise a happy festive tablescape!

Please take a moment to visit my sister for a Florida fall table at Robin Flies South...

I will be joining Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday!

Thank you, Susan, for hosting another fun blog party!


I would love to get new followers! I might be a little slow
visiting all your tablescapes this week, but I'll be there!
