Green Oriental Tea

Welcome to The Tablescaper.

While visiting at my friend Sheri’s Church Sale…

…I came across this spectacular Asian set.

I was thrilled to be able to…

…showcase it at this year’s Senior Citizen Tea. This is the third year I’ve provided the tablescapes for the tea and the fourth year our district has held the tea.

Inspiration for this week’s table

The inspiration for this week’s tablescape…

…were these wonderful very colorful valances I found at an incredible bargain at Christmas Tree Shops. At $1.69 a piece, I picked up three to put to use on a table.

The plaid has such a cottage feel and with the addition of the white enamel pitcher, a table in the making! Join me Wednesday to see how this table turned out!

Seasonal Sundays # 156–Gardening

Welcome to Seasonal Sundays!

It’s the season of gardening and…

…the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck…

…provided much inspiration.

Whether you choose…

…to plant…

…by seed…

…or seedlings…

…there was much to choose from!

What a wonderful gardening basket!

Or a tremendous bird house!

Maybe a Fairy Garden?

Have you been gardening?

Oh, the PLACES I’ve been! #9–Country Living Fair

Welcome to “Oh, the PLACES I’ve been!”.

I have been to the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, New York with my good friend Sheri (she’s the skinny one!). And did we have a blast! Good thing Sheri reminded me to wear my rain boots.

As we departed on our road trip to Rhinebeck, we had a bit of trepidation as it was pouring!

We really didn’t know what to expect.

Fortunately most areas were covered.

We didn’t know was going to be there…

…but were delighted…

…with all we saw! So much eye candy.

The skill of arranging…

…and styling was exceptional.

These are rosary beads hanging on lit branches.

The ingenuity of how people made the most interesting things out of nothing was astounding.

We had an awesome experience!

Tables at Country Living Fair

Welcome  to The Tablescaper.

I have been on a wonderful adventure which I can’t wait to share with you!

My good friend Sheri and I just went to the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY.

And in the main pavilion they showcased tablescapes!

This one was called Summer Party.

So fun to see that Country Living chose to use the Ikea candle stands in the same way I did! As chargers.

Lots of country feel.

The next table was called Woodland.

A great earthy feel, but…

…still crisp and clean.

The adorable numbers were only to be outdone by…

…the hanging art!

This fun table was name “Garden”.

The wonderfully deep tablecloth set the stage.

This fixture added a touch of whimsy.

…only to be compounded by…

…this friendly cricket.

The last table I’m sharing today is one called Neutrals.

Don’t you just love how they named each table and the wonderful clip board that held all of the details!

So effective, yet easy to replicate.

Wonderful bark textures.

Punctuated by a glass cum candle holder.

I’ll be sharing more of my wonderful experiences at the Country Living Fair Friday at “Oh, the PLACES you’ve been!” Hope you’ll join me.
