Tablescape Tuesday


Hello & welcome to another Tablescape Tuesday...or TT as it's been dubbed by us regulars. Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch is our wonderful hostess every week. There's been talk that it might switch to Thursdays but TT will still fit. ;o)


Today I am sharing pictures of last year's anniversary dinner. I used a framed piece of romantic sheet music from the 50's as my inspiration. Then I added an Amore sign that usually resides in our bedroom. The black chargers are just the cheap plastic ones...I want to buy some metal ones at a thrift store & spray paint them. The ironstone plates are Sauvignon in the Blanc de Blanc pattern (thrift store find) & the black & white toile bowl, the ivy is in, is by 222 Fifth in the Muse pattern. Both the bowl & the napkins I got @ either TJ Maxx, Marshall's or Ross. All votives were from the dollar store.




(click on any picture to enlarge)

I hung crystal prisms & votive holders from our chandelier w/ black & white checked ribbon.



Usually, I can remember what meal we served but I can't w/ this one....weird! Since it was such an important dinner & it was only last year.

There are lots more beauuuuutiful tables @ Susan's ...race ya!

  15. Cami, you and I were on the same wavelength this week; Table for one! ;) I love the French theme...you can never go wrong with Black/White! Very lovely, and the Amore sign is special too! I just seen Kathleens comment about spraying metal trays black from the dollar store, great tip too to keep the cost down on chargers.
