Tablescape Thursday

Tablescape Thursday is hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. She has some elegant tablescapes and so do the ladies who post their own every Thursday. I have lurked for some time and been so impressed by the talent and beautiful ideas these women have. It's just amazing.
If you go to their sites you can pick up tip after tip from them.
These ladies really know how to do it up in high style and like most women bloggers they are more than generous in explaining how and what and etc. so you can learn from them too.
I decided to put up my tablescape from this past weekend. I hope you enjoy seeing the photos.


Lunch that day was beef stew and salad .
These photos were taken the afternoon before our lunch.

I folded each napkin differently including one under a cupfull of tea spoons in an oriental fashion.





This fold looks better with a double sided or two faced napkin really.
It is lovely for an oriental setting.


You can click any of the photos to see them enlarged and close up.

The lazy Susan in hand inlaid and made by my uncle.

I will have to post a photo of it alone one day.

Tomorrow I am babysitting for most of the afternoon, then back to my spring cleaning which has me pulling the house apart! Wish me luck, I am going to need it, but I am just being ruthless in tossing out so much junk and giving away duplicates and items I just really don't use.

I hope your Thursday is a good one.
