Birthday Tablescape

July 23, 2015

I have had these chair covers for quite some time - don't remember where I got them.

I also have had the placemats and napkins and napkin rings for a long time and don't know where they came from either.  ;(

The bottom plate is Target, the colorful round plate is Walmart as is the flatware - wish they made knives as well in the cute patterns - wonder why they don't??

Dollar Tree had the cute Happy Birthday wine glasses and Walmart has the Mason Jar Mugs.  JoAnn had the cute whirly gigs on sale and straws.  I tucked a cupcake topper - the balloons - into the napkin rings.

The birthday hat centerpiece and Happy Birthday sign in the background are Raz.
The string lites are from Target - love battery powered lites but wish these also had a timer - but, gee, can't have everything for $3.00 a string of lites - right?  :)

The "ice cream cones" are holding bubble stuff - would love to learn how to make faux birthday cake and cake slices - it would be really cute on this tablescape.  :)

Thank you if you came to see my pictures.  I am struggling with the blog tech as I am better at stacking plates than figuring out the computer speak.  So many of y'all have such wonderful blog sites and ideas for tablescapes.  I am in awe of you!  So nice to know there are other people in this world who are also obsessed with making a pretty and clever table!  I am not alone!  Yay!  :)

                                              I started with a quilt top to use as a tablecloth . .  .

Blue shiny placemat from Burlington Coat Factory, red charger from Big Lots.
plates from Target, Dollar Tree and Home Goods. 

Wine glass from Pier 1, red white and blue glasses from ebay, mason jar glasses from Walmart. 

Faux cupcakes from Etsy. 

 I embellished tulips in old basket with flags and glittery picks that look like fireworks.

Red silverware from Walmart, flag napkins from Bealls' Outlet.

Other decorating I did:

Since kitchen table was sooo full I decided to do dining room table very simply. 

Patio decked for July 4th. 

Entryway table - Minnie the Australian Cattledog peeking on stairs.
