Easter tablescape for Tablescape Thursday

*

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

*

How are you doing today???

*

I am having a good day so far,  just doing the usual 

household chores,  so it is a good day for uploading pics,  

 I am participating in Tablescape Thursday with Susan 

over @ between naps onthe porch.  I post it here on

Wednesday,  so that I can still do my Thankful 

Thursday post tomorrow.

*

Think once in awhile we just need a fun post!

My tablescapes are from our Easter Dinner

with the family and their friends.

*

My first centerpiece,  some of you have already seen it,

 but for those who haven't, I got the basket with the

 greenery and berries at home goods store,  and then

embellished it with ribbon and Easter Eggs and 

dried yellow flowers I already had.

*

*

This is the back of the basket.

*

Found the chargers at Bed bath and beyond

on sale for $1.99,  and had a $5.00 off coupon,

so got all 8 for $11.00,  plus I used a gift card

I got for Christmas!  Such a Deal!!

Thanks Susan!!

*

*

Made these lil candy bags for everyone.

Bought the flowers but made the Happy

Easter signs on Printmaster!

*

*

Made these lil bunnies tags for the guys!

*

*

Tied the napkins up with some white grograin ribbon

that was already cut in strips for something else I was

gonna do but never did,  so decided this would be

a good use for it!

*

*

Decided to use my plain silverware with one pc. of

my wedding silverware at each place setting,  just

for something different.  Don't think anyone noticed!! lol

*

*

But I liked it! 

*

*

The green trimmed china is my Wedding

China from over 39 years ago!

*

*

These I rolled differently cause they were Easter dish towels

 that matched the napkins. They didn't have enough napkins

 years back when I bought them, so bought the towels and

 thought I would cut and sew them and make them the same 

size and just never did!

They are just oversized napkins!! Works for me!! lol

*

*

The white dessert plates with the silver rim,

were a gift to Jim's parents on their 25th

Anniversary!  We were only newly weds

then,  but we were living in Germany at

the time,  so we saw this lovely Rosenthal

Coffee set for 12,  and thought it would

make a lovely Anniversary Gift, since

25 years is a gift of Silver!

*

Some years back she gave it back to me since

she wasn't using it anymore,  and thought we

 would get more use out of it!  and we have!!

*

*

All sorts of Easter Egg candies, Peanut butter

M & M's (my personal favorite), malted milk

eggs,  2 different types of jelly beans,

 Jordan almonds, and peanut M&M's too!

*

*

Found these cute lil Easter Egg candles

at Home Goods this year.  

*

This was from the other end of the table

that doesn't get as much light!

*

*

Happy Easter to Me too!! lol

*

*

I wound up making this centerpiece the night

before cause I had been aggravated with myself

for getting it cause it was too tall and impedes

the conversation,  and my son really does not

like that, and actually I don't either, so hubby

 said well, just take it off the table when we have

 dinner, but I  wanted to have something nice so

I just thru a few things together and thought it

looked nice enough.

*

*

This is the back side of it.

*

*

I love to create something pretty??  Bet you do too,

or you wouldn't be checking out this post!! lol

*

I think God loved to create and I think He 

loves it when His children create beauty,

after all, after He created, it says,  that

he saw that it was good!  I sort of picture

Him stepping back and saying to himself

ahh, this is good!  I think we should all feel

good about the things we create,  whether

it is a tablescape, a watercolor, a drawing,

a floral arrangment, some sort of craft,

or a story we write.  It is good!!

*

After all,  we were made in the image

of God and who is the best creator in

all the World???  God Himself, 

of course,  who else!!

*
Happy Creating Sweet Folks
