I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
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!
