tablescapes

When Flea Market Trixie first aired these photos, I nearly passed out.

 But it wasn't because I was in a decorating contest with her and I feared losing.

It was all about those little white cookies! Ok, I'm only kidding a little. But this picture made me REALLY want those cookies.

Oh my good gosh. And then this came up. My garden doesn't look this incredible, never mind my cupcakes! Beauty like this really takes this tablescape to the next level.

And these lovely images had me positively DROOLING for that pink lemonade. See the frostiness misting the glasses? And she brought out MORE cookies.

And details. The smallest of details were enough. The gentle mix and layering of plates, pattern and equal intensity of colours and she called it done.

 
It was the gorgeous simplicity of it all that won me over. A lovely garden lemonade party sparkling with beautiful summer colour, including what's being served.

But know what I love about this little tablescape area the most?

Normal everyday things were being used.  Yet the way this is staged, it doesn't look common at all, does it?

This is art. Plain and simple.

And what about my tablescape submission in the contest.. Was it weird? Different? Rusty maybe even?!? Well...

 They don't call this place Funky Junk for nothin'. :)

Do you like my table? Think I'm kidding, don't you?

I'm going to link up my own tablescape to share a very different twist on 'fine dining.' :)

I can't wait to see what tablescapes you're bringing this weekend in the 3rd themed linkup!

The hottest thing in home fragrance visits us today! What is it, can you guess?

Candles you say?

Nope! It's much safer and cleaner than that.

It's Scentsy!
