First Spring Table for 2013 - It all started with this!

Helloooooooooooooo Sweet Friends,

How in the world are ya??  
Hope you are having a great week.
Can't believe we are now in April,
Where did March go.........lol

I am doing fine,  just still lots going on here, and kinda not
as in to blogging these days,  but thought I would share my
 my first Spring tablescape for the year,  in honor, of  hubbies
 birthday celebration with the whole family.

It all started with these napkins I sound at Marshall's well
over a year ago.  I really liked them and the colors,  and  knew
I had dragonflys leftover from our bathroom renovation, and a
few birds nest around the house,  so hopefully would work for
 a neat tablescape,  and they did not disappoint me!!  lol

Also thought they would be work well for a male tablescape. 

Decided it would work well with the green platemats.

Sorta wished I had put my light brown tablecloth on, 
 but was too far into it, by the time I thought about it, to 
redo it all,  then also wondered if I needed the white
since I was using the white plates.

Simple centerpiece..................

These are dragonflys that are made to hang 
on the wall, but you have to put the hangers on
 them to use them that way,  so they laid 
perfectly on the table.

Had enought to put a dragonfly at each
placesetting which was nice.

Do you see baby central in my living room
in the background of the picture below???
Had the air purifier out because when we
put the pack n play together it had a wierd
smell,  so put the ap in their overnight hoping
 that would help and it did ....thankfully!!

 Posterized

Pulled these from off the porch
since the colors matched.

 See this feather shaped thing on the green placemat??

It is a feather I cut off my sister-in-laws wedding invitation.
My brother passed away about 10 years ago,  and my
SIL got remarried,  just in case you were wondering!!

Decided to use it as a way of remembering her wedding
 day, since it was the day of our get together, and it 
matched the napkins Then forgot to tell everyone accept
 my daughter.
I had great intentions!!  then we get busy visiting and
I forget everything...............................

an overview.

Here is the back view of the centerpiece, thought you might like a peek.
Not real exciting, but was trying to keep the frills to a minimum.

This was just a nice shot without the light in
the early morning with the light streaming in.

Then hubby had to run to the store,  so asked
 him if he would get some Eastor colored
 M n M's for the table.  So he got those and
decided they weren't very  so thought just in 
case he would get some larger looking eggs,
 actually malted Milk Balls, but they were the 
perfect size for the nest.
If you noticed before I used large Easter
eggs in the nest.

The malted eggs,  were the perfect size,  so
exchanged the larger ones for these. Now don't
the look more like birdie eggs...........lol

Since there was a single egg on the napkin 
decided to just put on on top of the napkins,
 for a lil 3 dimensional look.

Well, thanks for stopping by today.
