The Rest Of My Sunflower Tablescape

Here is my Sunflower Tablescape in full view. Make sure you link up to my Centerpiece Wedneseday party HERE going on right now and link back to The Style Sisters so we can all learn from each other fun ways to do a Centerpiece! I just love bright yellow and orange together it just makes me smile.
I found these very colorful napkins at Home Goods the other and day and knew I just had to use my bright yellow plates in this tablescape. I bought these large yellow plates at a Pottery Barn outlet in Las Vegas many years ago. I love the color and they are huge and heavy.Here is a view showing the orange chair wraps that I found at the thrift store the other day…10 of them for a buck! They just make the whole tablescape feel more special with that added touch.I found these crazy looking bugs at Hobby Lobby and decided they needed to be marching along on the table too..but my husband said they look like large colorful cockroaches! RUDE!!
(LOL actually they kind of do but don’t tell him that I said that)Here is fun way to use some of my napkin rings in an unexpected way. I turned these darling orange glasses upside down and placed a white napkin ring on top and added the votive candle to make them stand out. Pretty cute and easy.I just liked the way this photo turned out with my clock in the background. You see some of my cookbooks peeking through the handle of the pitcher.I thought this was fun way to set your silverware on the table….crisscrossed with a napkin ring around them…. placed inside a bowl with the napkin folded and placed between the bowl and the plate.

Then I took the napkin and squenched it up just at the bottom with a napkin ring and added the crisscrossed silverware for another pretty look.

Napkin Rings are available here on my blog for only a dollar each.

I am participating in Tablescape Thursday

    Anita Diaz said it all, she just loves your "happy" table. How could it be anything different, it is just like you, HAPPY! Your table reflects your personality to a T. And besides, it is gorgeous.
    You are a light in my life and I love you to pieces.

    So cute! Love it all …even the giant bug who does NOT look like a cockroach, trust me …I used to live in an apartment in NYC.

    There were roaches the size of MICE in the laundry room in the basement.

    They were not cute. Yours is a hoot!

    Gorgeous sunflowers! I love the bright colors you've used on this table, and what a great idea to turn the glass upside down to elevate a votive with one of your pretty napkin rings!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
