Tabletop Garden

What fun it is to see what everyone brings to the table week after week for Tablescape Thursday! It's always fun to gather new ideas and enjoy the creativity found here. Thanks Susan!




I'm not a gardner, but today I've planted a tabletop garden -- perhaps the only kind I can grow.



Please join me in the garden.



In my little garden, the bunnies are always welcome!



I try to make sure.....




.....that there is a pretty focal point.....




.....at each and every.....



.....placesetting.



Spring green napkins with pink budding napkin rings. The napkins came from Tuesday Morning this spring and the napkin rings were ordered from Style Sisters.




I found these little cabbage bowls and plates last year at a local antique, thrift and whatnot sort of shop. I happened upon the owner of one of the booths reorganizing her display. She was about to pack these away and was delighted to sell them instead. I was thrilled to get them for half the price too!





A closer look at the plates. These were layered over my white Gibson plates (Big Lots) and green glass chargers from a shop in Virginia Beach.



Pink goblets from eBay.



A view of the layers.




Crop dusters view.



Evening falls.....



....and it's time to say.....




....Good night from the garden.

Be sure to visit Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch" for another week of tabletop inspirations.

See ya.
