So.....How are you??? Having
a fun week??? Having some
great spring weather??
I hope so!
My week has been great, if it was any better
it would take 2 of me to enjoy it!! lol
Thought I would show you my Birthday table
since my b-day was on Sunday. Sorry, I took
too many pics, as usual. Really don't know how
I wind up with so many. Course, it is probably
cause I take some then, realize I forgot to get
a shot of this or that, then go back to take it
and then take a few more, and after doing
that a few times I forgot what I did take the
times before......ahh forgetfulness...it is
such a wonderful thing!! lol
Remember I told you last week that I set my
own table this year since I was feeling so
creative after all that rest and relaxation I
got on our trip. So it was a fun thing to do.
It really could be an Easter table too, if you
threw a few colored eggs on there,or a
Spring table, or anytime table really........

This was the table runner I happened on at
Wally World for just $7......and I found this
nice French looking wooden basket at Michaels
crafts on sale for $12, so those were my new
Spring pieces.

Added some clear glass candle holders
with white candles, to match the lace
in the runner, of course, candlelight
is always a welcoming and enjoyable
sight.
I wanted a subtle yet elegant affect, so used my
Shabby Chic dishes and Wedding Silverware.
Along with my pretty clear Victorian glasses.
Put salt/pepper shakers at each place
and some chocolate
Only had dishes on one side of the basket,
so put some on the other side as well, and
put some more pink and white hydrangeas
around the basket.

This would be considered the backside
of the vignette/centerpiece.

Love when I can actually catch the flame
with the camera.
An overview of the front side of the vignette
centerpiece. Really love the look of the burlap
and lace on the white tablecloth.
I even poured a glass of Raspberry lemonade
so you could see how it adds pink color to the
table. lol Also, it tastes awesome, have
you ever gotten any "Simply Lemonade"??
If not, you are missing out. It is in the dairy
case of your grocery store with the orange
juice typically. They have regular lemonade,
Raspberry lemonade and limeade and other
flavors as well. If you haven't tried it let me
warn you......you will be hooked!! lol

The napkin rings are just scrap booking paper
cut into strips, and taped with double stick
tape in the back. I liked that it looked so
lacy looking...
Bliss candies,
Couldn't find any pink ones so these
were burgundy and had to do, and
they taste yummy!
Already had all the faux hydrangeas, candles,
and birdies, napkins and scrapbook paper.
With the lights off, love the look of the light
coming into the room thru the window.
With Colored Pencil affect
Loved how the glow of the candle showed
up when I turned the lights off. The basket
looks green but it is really a gray color,
with a hint of green.
With Posterized Affect
Side view
front/side view
Nice you could drop by for a visit, hope you
enjoyed yourself.
Can't believe tomorrow is April already
shew........March just flew by....
You have a good rest of the week!
See you on Thursday for Thankful Thursday
with some Easter Decorations.
Love, Hugs and
April Blessings,
Nellie

Happy Birthday, Nellie! I have been thinking about you and Susan for the past couple of days and wanting to write to both of you. I am leaving for Easter on Thursday morning at 6:30 am to go toSLXC. Jim is already there and has been for two weeks helping out and working on projects. I stayed home to take care of commitments here but am joining him there and we'll come home on Tuesday after Easter.
