My dear friend, Mandi, has a beautiful daughter named Ryleigh. Ryleigh has epilepsy. Thank God, she’s been seizure free for three years. Yesterday was Epilepsy Awareness day, and the color associated with that day is purple. So in honor of Ryleigh, and all of the other people who have this affliction, I decided to do this week’s tablescape in purple.
I hope Ryleigh likes it.
As promised, I’m showing how I made my Floating Flower Centerpiece. It’s easier to make than it looks.
When I was at the Dollar Tree, I spotted a section that had a few Mardi Gras decorations. I spotted a package of masks, beads & coins. They were colorful & shiny, but very plain. I needed to make them my own. Hmmm, a little glitter couldn’t hurt, could it? 😉
I’m always looking for new ways to add color to my centerpieces. One of the ways to add color, inexpensively, is to add feathers. They not only add color, but they add movement to a piece. They also make a nice addition to flowers as a filler. By putting feathers together into a spray, you can add height to them. Feather sprays are easy to make, and can be used in most centerpieces. I’ll show you how:
I’ve got the blues. The constant snow has gotten me down & I’m suffering from a major case of cabin fever. Spring can not come soon enough this year. Going along with the ‘blues’ theme, and since the color cobalt blue makes me happy, I decided to do a tablescape in cobalt blue. I hope it cheers you up as much as it does me.
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! And Valentine’s Day always reminds me of hearts & Cupid. That about sums up this week’s tablescape. I hope you enjoy it.
I’d seen this kind of project on Pinterest for a long time, and I just loved them. I’ve been wanting to make one of my own ever since. So this is my version of a Terracotta Candy Dish:
Aunt Millie was our favorite Aunt. She was a delightful person with a great sense of humor. She had a way of making you feel at home, always. I can remember Aunt Millie & Mama talking on the phone for hours, and she could make my Mama laugh like no other. When she was called home, her lovely daughters gave some of her things to my sister & me. I got her flatware & my sister got her china. I can’t tell you how excited I was when my sister asked me if I’d like to do a tablescape with Aunt Millie’s china. The flatware & china were reunited. This tablescape brings back so many Memories of our Aunt Millie.
The first snow storm of 2014 has hit the East Coast. Snow storm Hercules is dumping inches of snow on everyone, as well as freezing cold temperatures. (it’s 14 degrees here & still dropping) I hate the snow & cold more than you’ll ever know. But instead of fighting it, I decided to do a tablescape that would look cold & snowy. This is my Snowy Tablescape.
Since this is the last Thursday of the month, I thought I’d do a New Year’s Tablescape. I had so much fun with this one! I knew that I wanted to use a lot of sparkle, and what better way to add sparkle than using things with a metallic finish? And mirrors, lots and lots of mirrors! So this is the tablescape that I came up with… Happy New Year Everyone!
