First spring tablecape for hubbies birthday celebration

*

Hello Sweet Friends,

*

Hope your Wednesday is going well.

*

Mine has been good so far!  I am thrilled that I was

able to get out and finish the front yard today,

so hopefully tomorrow I can start on the back yard.

*

I have to say it has been wonderful to just be 

outdoors again,  and see all the coming signs

of Spring,  my most favorite season of the year!

*

I am creating a post today, so I can participate in

 Tablescape Thursday  tomorrow over at 

Susan's from Between Naps on the Porch.

Thank you Susan for Hosting this every week.

*

Here is my first Spring tablescape  in honor of my

hubbies birthday!! 

Here is a nice photo of him and our family.

We had a really good one but it was too blurry,

not that this is the best either.

*

*

The birthday boy is in the blue shirt!!  lol

*

*

I put butter into the small lil square dishes,

sometimes I use white egg cups.

I like to have a set of salt and pepper 

at each end of the table as well.

*

Notice I off centered the bowls for a change.

*

Used smaller check napkins as placemats,

with larger check napkins placed in the bowls.

I wanted to create a subtle tablescape.

*

*

*

Good ole Andes Mints,  Yum!!

*

This is from the other end of the table.

*

*

This has an ocean ripple affect on it.

Thought it was pretty and would throw it 

in just for fun.

*

*

These green crystal glasses are my Wedding glasses,

I love them as much today as the day I registered them.

They are a smokey green.

*

*

*

*

This pic has a palette knife affect.

I love to use these affects,  course, you have

to find just the right one for the right picture.

*

*

Remember the jar lids that we made the tea

light candleholders out of,  don't they look nice.

*

This is an affect called poster edges.

*

*

This is an affect called cut out.

*

*

I decided to try to bring a lil masculinity to the table

since it looked so frilly,  but trying to find a lot of

masculine ornamentation around here is not too easy,

but I did remember this eagle I got hubby for

 Father's Day one year, and replaced the candle

with the Eagle instead.

*

*

I have to say my hubby is very secure in his

masculinity so all the fru fru doesn't bother 

him at all!  Which is great for me since I love

all the fru fru!! lol

*

*

This pic had an affect called Equalized and it made

it a much richer brown color.

*

*

Forgot to get a shot of the whole table with the Eagle

as the centerpiece cause I changed  it at the last minute.

Oh Well,  lol

*

Well,  that's it for Fun Day!!

Hope you enjoyed your visit.
