Welcome to Tablescape Thursday for January 7, 2010~
It's a January Birthday Brunch for 2.
And our theme is angels & cherubs!
I really like to brighten up the overcast winter days here with bright cheerful colors.
I hope you enjoy!
Does anyone else collect old postcards?
I do.
I seem to be drawn to florals. Probably because my love of gardening!
This one is a French one, over 100 years old.
Faux fruit. :)
Sweet little vintage creamer.
Made by a very special friend. She is so talented!

My one wish right now is that I wish I am sitting right htere enjoying the table setting. I wouldnt have to eat at that table because its so pretty it makes me happy just looking at it! :))
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in this table scape! Can I have the bottle of Champagne? :)
ReplyDeleteI think I got the table scape bug from the time I worked in an art gallery in Carmel. The boss use to participate in a huge table scape project every spring, and use to help set it up. Some of your tablescapes remind me of them.
Beautiful as usual :)
My heart just filled with awe, amazement and delight at this beautiful tablescape.
