My First Tablescape Tuesday!

Hello and Happy Mothers' Day to all my wonderful blogging friends. Today were going back in time for Sunday Favorites. Chari is our talented and lovely hostess . Chari has a wonderful blog and lots of great decorating ideas so check it out @ http://happytodesign.blogspot.com/ and thank-you Chari for being such a great friend!
Welcome to my first Tablescape Tuesday, hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/. Today I am serving a simple country brunch for my lovely in-laws. The tablecloth and place mats are from the Country Living collection, the simple plates were bought at IKEA and the cute red apple teapot I bought during our trip to Michigan this summer.

I filled a simple white vase with wildflowers, lit a few votive's, filled the juice pitcher which belonged to my husband's Grandma and brought out the yellow coffee mugs that belonged to my Grandma.


My Mother-in-law made me the cute little table runner and I found the Rooster, Hen and family at a cute little gift shop for $10. Thanks for stopping by, Cindy

  1. This table is beautiful.

    We saw the house on Lake Huron, three years ago, this coming May. I have photos of it. We were amazed at the size of this home. I can't believe it isn't finished yet!

  21. Hi Cynthia, The color of red represents energy and passion; I love the way you've used it on your tablescape with the tablecloth. The sentimental pieces in your display are what make me fall in love with it, I think every story gives life to the item. If I were having brunch with you now, I'd feel like I was meeting your Grandmama... Very sweet and striking! Welcome to Tablescape Tuesday, this week was my first experience as well. We're both newbies~ ~Au Revoir, ~CC Catherine (See you next week! I've joined your Followers as well! 8=)
