Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too. Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20. We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
How about a simple, festive, plastic and paper tablescape? I enjoy doing all the pretties for a tablescape but I do like the ease of simple too! Especially when we can eat off of it and toss it in the garbage! Decided to do something festive and easy.
Decided to make my centerpiece first and then pull colors from that.
The lilies came from Walmart and the rest was from the Dollar tree including the fruit I used. Found the cute planter at Dollar General. Less that $10 bucks for it all.
Apple, Orange and Lemon went into the centerpiece.
Had this sweet little book that was given to me in 1998 when I participated in Secret Sisters at church. Brought back lots of memories and decided it would be perfect for my festive look.
Then I needed to add a couple of candles to match. Found these at Walmart for $1 each.
The colorful table runner was a piece of material I had.
Ooh, love my little bowls. $1 each from the Dollar Tree. Goes right along with my colors. The wooden stand the bowls are sitting on was odds and ends that a friend of mine had sitting around and made me 4 little stands. Works great to hold hot pots too! Or to give something a little extra height.
Then I found the paper goods. The orange plates are plastic and was 4 for $1 at Walmart. Found the yellow and green paper plates, green plastic silverware and napkins at Walmart cheap.
Green cups: 4 for $1 at Walmart
I love my little wooden stands. Perfect to hold things. Had an old Cambells Soup Cook book that was orange that a friend gave to me long ago. I have a set of toothpick holders in which the tops are pink, green and yellow. Decided to use the green top one. The candle piece, lemons/limes and birdie cup just made it.
Lots of festive color, plastic, paper and cheap!
Hope you have enjoyed my fun and festive tablescape today. Come on over and we'll have a little Fiesta Salad and some Raspberry Tea!
