Tablescape Thursday, Birthday/Christmas table

Hello Sweet Friends,

How are you this fine Wednesday???

Busy as a beaver I'll bet!!

I am sort of on hold right now.............

can't decorate the tree cause hubby ran

into snags with the lights and then we had

to buy a few new strings yesterday but were

out all day and tired when we got home,  so

no work on the tree,  but we did watch a 

really great Hallmark movie called "an old

Fashioned Thanksgiving".  I know we are 

a lil late on that,  but it was a great movie

in case you want to rent it thru Netflix,  we

highly recommend it!!

Hubby went to a seminar with his old boss

today.  His boss signed him up just in case

he wanted to go.  Can't wait to see what

the Lord is up to in this!!  Probably teaching

on something he needs for his new business

I would be willing to bet!! Well,  not really

bet $$, but you know what I mean!! lol

Well, guess I had better get it together

and talk about Tablescape Thursday 

or lose a few people!!  lol

This cute lil gal below is my new

daughter in love to be!

and this post is about her birthday 

celebration table.  Her birthday was

really Nov. 29th,  so I tried to make

it not quite so Christmasy and maybe

a lil bit Wedding looking since they
just got engaged and are starting
to plan the Wedding.

So see what you think!!

Thought the green print china looked Christmasy
but like a wedding as well, as all the white !

 This was the napkin for the guys plates...
it is a suppose to be a small candle fold.
Got it idea from MarthaStewart.com

This is a view from above the table.
This is the Christmas tree I made from
coffee filters.

I sort of ran out of time and used what
I had to decorate it.  Liked the wreath
around it,  but would have liked to do
something more with the tree itself,  but
haven't figured out quite what yet.

This is the girls placesetting, I added these
beautiful ornaments that a sweet friend
made for me last year!!

another candle fold napkin shot!!

This was my Wedding China from 40 years ago,
just in case you are new to my blog.

This pic was taken at night

This pic was taken in the daylight!!

Got these lovely satin poinsettias years
back at Kmart,  they are from Martha
Stewart Living.  I just love them!!

Here is a closeup of the ruffles on the tree!
No one could believe it was just coffee
filters. Megan said she thought it was
some sort of nice fabric.

This was a closeup of the pick on the wreath.
Loved that I was able to catch some the irridescience
of the bulbs on it!!  It is really even prettier!!

I like the candle shining thru the goblet.

This has a posterized affect on the picture.
Gotta love photoshop!!

This shot is equalized and in film grain.
Love how it made things pink!!

These are repurposed yankee candle lids.
Turn them over pull off the plastic with
 needle nose pliers, add some epsom salt
 to look like snow and insert candle,  looks
 very pretty.......... and you don't need to
 throw them away, cause they are quite useful!!

This is also my wedding silverware and crystal.
Love it as much today as the day I picked it!!
Only wish it was dishwasher safe!! lol

Lens flare affect.

This is a stainglass affect!!
thought it was very pretty and different.

I am still trying to figure out where to put this
lil tree next!!

Posterized affect!!

  This is a palette knife and posterized affect.

One last look at the tree..........
Can you tell I really like her!!  lol

Well,  sweet friends..........
hope you enjoyed your visit!!
