Where Are The Birds?

I've been using a lot of birds in my tablescapes lately. They are my new obsession! It seems like I can't leave a store without buying at least one. Well, I don't like to be predictable, so this week it's butterflies!



I hope you enjoy!














This tablescape started with the placemats,
which I bought at HomeGoods months ago.



I found this tray, which was made in Italy, at a thrift store. I just fell in love with it, which means you may see it quite often!






I decided to go non-traditional by using square plates and bowls. Just mixing it up to keep it interesting!



I just love the detail on these blue plates!



The butterflies came from Michael's wedding department. I wanted them to stand out against the topiary. I'm such a sucker for sparkle!






























Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a great week!

Take Your Thyme!

No Easter table for me! I really don't have any Easter decorations (lost them in one of my many moves!) but, I have really enjoyed seeing what all the other tablescapers have done for the holiday.

This week, I caught the gardening bug! Our herb garden is coming to life, and I thought I would celebrate with an herb themed table. I would have loved to set a table outside, but we had snow on Monday! So, my kitchen had to do.



I hope you enjoy!














These plates came from a thrift store and have a different herb on each one. I loved doing another green tablescape!



I fell in love with this petite bird bath. I placed it on an upside down flower pot to raise it up.



Basil is probably my favorite herb. The smell reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen!



I was so excited to find this flatware on clearance at SteinMart. I think it was because the box was ripped open. Sure, I'll take a torn box to save $20!



















Because my tablescape is indoors, I decided to make napkins which would add a touch of elegance.




























Thanks for stopping by! Oh wait...what's this?
