Tablescape Thursday

Thanks to Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch, for hosting this event. I love getting ready for Thursday!

I set up a Mother's Day tea with the flowers I was given, so I decided to post these pictures instead of a tablescape. It was hard to me to do this week, because I have been painting walls and projects!

I am using the tea pot my husband gave me for my birthday...I was very happy with it, cause I usually get appliances!

I have collected several card table size hem-stitched tablecloths over the years. Before TV, I think people played cards, so there is a lot of this size out there.

This is my oversize english tea cup, made by Roy Kirkland. He makes very thin cups, but the are durable too. I put mine in the dishwasher and they are fine. I purchased this one at Marshall's. I have several different designs, even one with teddy bears.

Please visit Susan's blog to look at the other entries. There are so many creative tables that just have to get viewed! You can get some great ideas, especially if you are having some summer get-togethers!

This week has been hard to get a table together because I have been painting my urns and a desk. I'll post pictures soon. Thanks for stopping by,

It's Time For Tea

Well it's Tablescape Thursday again at Between Naps on the Porch by the wonderful Susan, a fellow dish lover.



Yummy scones with plenty of sugar! This table reminds me of the Great Gatsby and the beautiful tea they serve in the movie.



I am still unpacking and creating my pantry, so it's a challenge right now to find everything, but I am very motivated. It's so much fun to participate and everyone's tables are so beautiful.

My Japanese Snowball is in bloom!



Another chance to use my vintage flatware!



I decided to do a tea service this week, cause once it gets too hot here, we won't drink too much tea.

It's time to go have a scone, and look at my favorite silver tray! ahh
