My Birthday Table for 2014

Hello Sweet Friends,

How you been lately??  Hearing that there
is some warmer weather up north,  so know
most of you must be ecstatic about that, to
say the least!!  lol   Hope that means yall
had a great weekend,  and got out some.

We had a nice weekend even tho it did rain Friday and 
Saturday. My birthday was on Saturday....so Scott, Megan 
and the baby and Susan came over to celebrate with me.
We had a lovely dinner,  hubby made filet mignon and 
scallops, baked potatoes,  and Scott did a nice salad
and made a lovely viniagrette dressings and bread.
Hubby got a special cheesecake too.

Thought I would show you picture of my birthday table.

It was a joint effort  by hubby and I.............

It started with the tablecloth you see in my header
picture.......found it at Target while we were up in
Asheville,  and decided I couldn't wait to use it,  I
think it is so pretty and would love to make curtains
out of it for my family and dining room,  but then
realized it would class with my kitchen wallpaper, 
 (sigh) but oh well....................not really wanting
 to make over the whole house at this time.

Hubby and I began to  shop the house for things

 to use for a centerpiece. He spotted the tall 
arrangement with the white gerbera daisies in
 the guest bedroom, so thought, great idea, I can
 use that at the end of the table.

Then I spotted a shopping bag that was still out.... 
from that store in Asheville Altar'd state that I liked so much,
 and it matched and then found this lovely 3 tone candle 

in my bedroom that was from a friend.  So put

that all at the end to fill in the table.

In this picture you can hardly see the lil clear vases of pale 

yellow flowers,  and clear candle cups,  but they are there

and did show up fine when we were sitting there.  Am

really in love with these colors,  so fresh and springy.

A look down the table,  see they show up

more here! and even more in person.

I took this shot so you could see my new 

corner piece,  it was one of my birthday presents

 from hubby.  I had a wooden trellis that matched 

our oak with vines on it,  but this metal trellis

 looks so much more decorative and matches

our chandelier over the table.

Never thought to take a pic of that with it!  lol

I did the centerpieces........

Then hubby did the table setting..............
 He chose the dishes and the glassware.
Thought he made great choices.

This was my spot ....our birthday person
always gets to sit at the head of the table

A look down the table

already had the blue napkins, which was a

deciding factor in the purchase of the tablecloth.

A look from the opposite side of the table.

With an equalized affect

Looks like the blue hours

An  overview

Some of you already know this,  but I try to make our

centerpieces so you can see over them,  so it doesn't

impede conversation!  A very good idea by the way!!

Think white dishes will look equally as good on this

 tablecloth, cause it does have some white in it too.

See the candle glowing thru the drinking glass

Grabbed some smooth glass stones from
another candle decoration to add some color.

Think the tablecloth really livens things up!

Taken with the lights off!

With a  Watercolor affect.
