"Between Naps on the Porch" is hosting a weekly "Tablescape Thursday" event where ladies post photos of the creative tablescapes they have created. It's a great site to get some creative ideas on table settings. This is my first time participating. Here are a few photos from the dinner we hosted on Saturday evening.
I'm a beginner tablescaper...If I don't have napkin rings to match a particular theme I fold them and place each napkin in a wine glass...I have sturdy wine glasses that I put out for children...instead of wine, they get a fun mix of cranberry juice and 7-Up. :-)
Simple yet welcoming. Name placards are a must for me...this way I can stragetically place myself where it is easy to get out and easily refill drinks, etc...
I am not the best cook so I try to remember a saying that puts entertaining all in perspective..."It's not so important what is on the plates, but who is on the seats!"
Thanks for visiting my humble attempt at a "French Country" tablescape! In hindsight, a little escargot would have completed the evening! hee hee :-)
Happy Entertaining! With love from Colorado~

your home is beautiful too. i have a stepsister who lives in littleton but that's my only connection to co. that is until your blog! jeanette is my friend too and yes, her bows are precious. in fact, we meet this week with another friend (who makes jewelry for her adoption from china)about starting a ministry in our church for adoptive families and orphans. put us on your prayer list, there's a lot of work involved...
hope you have a super fun weekend!
I want to come to YOUR house! You would never know that you are a beginner! I love it! And I love what you said about,"It's not so important what is on the plates, but who is on the seats!" So true!
Oh, and I LOVE cranberry juice mixed with 7-Up!
Have a great weekend, Denise!
I love that it's "who is on the seats" that matters! Your table looked great!

just wanted to let you know my blog has moved to www.mychihuahuabitesblog.com.
What a beautiful table! Those are gorgeous flowers, what a burst of joy they bring out! :)
Hey Denise, You are a woman after my own heart! I have your pigs twin and my entire kitchen is red and roosters. I knew I liked you!
Beautiful tablescape Denise! Love it!
I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the outfit for your daughter! My baby and I have both been sick and I haven't been able to go get anymore jeans this week. I can still get some, though. And you know what? Those ribbon jeans are PERFECT for little girls with short legs (like my daughter) because I just chop the jeans off to the desired length and then add the ribbbons. I would still love to make an outfit for your daughter if you want. Just let me know - here's my email address.
