Under the Tuscan Sun Tablescape

My cute daughter Emily and my husband surprised me with some beautiful new table linens and some new fun glasses along with a pitcher to match for Mother’s Day!
I was not home for Mother’s Day this year as I was gone to help my other daughter who just had her second baby. Emily and my sweet husband pulled together a tablescape for me and emailed me the photos showing me my new things! How sweet are they!I added some fresh greenery from the backyard and plopped it into this vase and took some photos this morning to show all of you my interpretation of “Under the Tuscan Sun” tablescape in deep rich colors.
These table linens and cool glassware that they bought for me came from my favorite store called Jackalope in New Mexico. You see we were all with my other daughter Madeline and her little family to welcome in the newest member…my new grandson…Calvin. Emily had left her car in Utah and needed to bring it home so my sweet hubby and Emily drove home from Salt Lake City in Emily’s jeep and stopped off at my favorite store to shop for me!! I can’t believe they did that…so precious of them.
I love how the glassware sparkles in the sunlight.Emily and Mike used my thrift store find…the large glass bowl and filled it with sea shells for the centerpiece.
They also used some of my brown bamboo placemats too.
They did an amazing job don’t you think?
Of course they used my beautiful napkin rings to make the napkins pop! I love how they used deep rich colors against the white plates. Oh and see the darling white salad plate with the floral edge? My sweet sweet friend Carrie gave those to me while I was gone too. I came home to so many fun surprises and my table all set!
I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of “Under the Tuscan Sun” tablescape.
You can purchase the napkin rings in either white, red, blue or pink right here on my blog. I am still offering them for $1.00 each! They are perfect for any time of year and really make your tablescape pop!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • What a nice idea as a Mother's Day gift. The tablecloth and napkins are very pretty and so are the glasses and the pitcher, too. And they made a gorgeous table for you.
