Hubbies late Winter Birthday Table

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Hope you had a good weekend
 full of fun and Surprises.....

We did.....We went to Scott, Megan
 and lil darlings house on Saturday
 to celebrate my birthday one more
 time (cause they were away last
 weekend).  Then on Sunday we were 
surprised to find our nephew at
 Church (he lives in Mo. right now, 
but they are planning to move here
 this summer).
He is here for meetings this week.

We also went to see the movie
 "unplanned"on Sunday Afternoon. 
 It is a true story and quite a story.....
A sad story with a good ending, that
 would really be good for most adults 
to see, I think. Hubby and I both 
thought there was quite a bit to

 learn from this movie as well.

I happened to come across some
pics I took In March, but never 
got to post, so thought I would
post them before I start posting
my Spring/Easter pics. There
must be someone out there that
needs a manly table or is still
experiencing Winter.  lol

Hubbies birthday was in the

 beginning of March, so it was

 still officially Winter.

So I decided on using a buffalo

checked gold/white tablecloth

 withWhite dishes.

You have seen this centerpiece before,

but below you will see I changed it

up a bit.

Notice the candles are pure 

white, rather than cream colored

and I added some gold mercury

 glass and birch look candles that

 I showed you how to make here.
Along with the greenery and pine
 cones that were already there,
  just rearranged.

Then added the plates with the

birch look smaller candles and

tiny pine cones we got in N.C.

on vacation probably 28+ yrs.

ago....can you believe they 

have lasted that long....I am

amazed by that.........and Iuse

them every Fall and Winter.

I like adding the mercury glass

 inside as it makes them even

 prettier.

Used Fall colored napkins and

 Brown glasses cause they seem

 like manly colors to me. 

Added a pine cone in each bowl 

to complete the look.

A nice overview.....

Look down the table.

another over view.  I like to

add the small pepper/salt

shaker and a candy to most

of my tables.

Did you notice I sort of change up the

silverware?  I like to use 2 sets and

mix them together at each place setting.

A fun way to be able to use your silver-

ware if you don't have 8 place settings.

I had 8 of the one, but only 4 of the 

white pearl, so this made it where

I could use them.  Makes for a

more interesting table too.

Well, there you have it......

Thanks for dropping in.....

Hope you enjoyed your visit and 

maybe picked up a tip or two.....

Have a Wonderful Week!

Love, Hugs, and

Early April Blessings,

Nellie
