Simple Spring Table


On her post today Sandy, at Reluctant Entertainer, asks these questions: "Are you a simple tablescaper? Or do you get into the fancy stuff, and produce a more detail-oriented table?"



Greenery from the tree in my backyard



Cut glass vase from my mother

Bird, a gift from my friend Alisa at Carolina Panache

Lemon plates, also a gift from Alisa
(You should be so blessed as to have a friend like Alisa!)

These pictures answer Sandy's questions, don't you think?

Simple Spring Lunch: Salmon patties, mixed greens salad, lemon cupcakes and tea.

  7. Your tablescape is really beautiful. Most of the time I go to the backyard and cut leaves or flowers or whatever strikes my fancy. Those lemon plates are calling my name too! You definitely answered Sandy's question in the best way possible!

  9. Hey! Sure you can!! Email me at carolinahoods@charter.net. That should work! I still want the cupcake:). They are one of my weaknesses.

    Saw where your daughter did a tri--awesome job! Since I do not swim, I do not do them!! But, my boys do. Lots of fun to watch.
    Hugs!

  13. Melanie,
    I LOVE your tablescape. I am a simple girl myself, although I used to try to get all fancy, it's just not my style. Simple makes me feel pretty, ya know?!!

    Those cupcakes look delish!!

    Have a Blessed day dear one,
    Dawn
