Paris Themed Table for hubby and lil darling...............

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope you all had a nice weekend

and Monday...........

We did....got to relax but also

did quite a bit of yard work which

is good..........

Finally getting around to showing

yall my Guy/Girl birthday table

for hubby and lil darling....I did

try to keep it from being too girly

but wasn't greatly successful....lol

Thank goodness my hubby is very

secure in his manhood......and will

do anything for this lil girl.....

I was in process of trying to figure

out what I could do that would work

for both of them, and my light bulb

moment came with me coming

 across these adorable appetizer/bread 

plates that I found last year at Maxx

and because we have Paris souveneirs,

knew one day they would be a table

scape for someone or some ocassion.
Never thought it would be for both
their birthdays...........

When I saw the Paris plates I thought

that these would be fitting....as Hubby and

I went to Paris way back when we were 

just married a few years because we lived

 in Germany, and I have all these metal

 replica souveneirs of Paris, that lil darling

 likes to play with, and the were gray and

pink, so thought this could work.

So my idea was born..............

So next I needed napkins, so went to

the party store and purchased gray and

pink napkins, and they even had Eifel

towers for $1.29 each,  so bought a

few more of those, and I was ready to

start working on the table.

Decided to display the souveneirs

 on a cakestand, but it looked too 

cluttered with just one, so stacked

 the cake plates and put the Eifel

Tower and the Arc of Triumphe

 on the top so it would look like

the inspiration plates, then needed
some frou frou, but it had to be
 simple as this was a guy/girl table
after all.................

So had these small flowers in 

my stash that were peachy pink

and blue, so it added just a touch

to not looks so bare.

This was lil darling place.  Since the

tablecloth was white I used an unfolded

napkin like a place mat.  Pink for the

girls and gray for the guys.

a look down the table.........

Had also seen these lil

Paris scrapbooking cuties,

so figured I might use them

somewhere...............

and they came in handy as sort

of a fill in for empty spots.....

Just cut them out and laid them 

on top of the tablecloth.

Here is birthday boys spot

I only had 4 of the the lil Paris
plates, so used those for the girls
and gave the guys white ones
 along with a metal Eifel Tower.

and added the lil scrapbook

embellishments at the top of

their napkins...........If you look
closely you can see it in the 
pic above this one

Decided to tuck some napkins

in the clear glasses to add a lil

more color.  Also bought some

silver candies while at the party

store which was a good match.

Here is just another side of

the centerpiece....

Decided to look up what the 

saying was

on the plates just for grins......

It says:

I Love Paris and that was

certainly true for us....

Thus where the idea for the

silver heart confetti came
from,  and added a nice bit
of bling as well.

and of course,  we always need

some candle light, so had these

cute lil hobnail custard dishes

that came in handy.

We also had this big Eifel Tower

 in black that goes in our computer/

office area.......so figured I would

 use it......it was too big for the

 table so just put it on a side table, 

and added a few tissue paper 
roses.....

Well, as usual I took way too many
 pics,  so decided to split this into
 2 posts, as it was easier than trying
 to pick which pictures to use......lol

So stay tuned for part 2
hopefully tomorrow.


Thanks for coming by.........


Have a great evening!

Love, Hugs and 
April Blessings,

Nellie
