As some of you know,each month I've been looking at an old Lang calendar for tablescape inspirations. When I got to September I thought I was going to have to pass. I looked and looked for a small toy bicycle.....but couldn't find one anywhere. I was just about to just give up when......
...I got an ideal looking at the basket of flowers....ah ha!
....topped with a bike?
....so I found some clip art, and I thought the ribbon reminded me of bicycle bar streamers.

let's go for a bike ride.....care to join me....the September weather is perfect!
......I got out my navy striped napkins.
You just never know where your tablescaping challenges might come from!
I've enjoyed this monthly project.....wait until you see October!
See ya!

ReplyDeleteHi Martha! I'm going to have to start calling you "Martha" if you know what I mean. What a cute idea using the bike snap in the basket of flowers. You're the most creative one! :) Love your sweet table and I would have never know those were bike stickers! You did a great job.

Oh, cool!!!! This was thinking outside the proverbial box! If you can't find what you think you need...think again! The biggest surprise of all: I thought those were actual bicycle plates!!! GREAT idea with the stickers!!! The navy & white striped napkins are PERFECT with this setting, too, and really capture the spirit of the calendar page! Great job, Miss Martha!
ReplyDeleteYou had me there with the bicycle china! I see so many beautiful pieces on your blog and always wonder how in the world you store all of it. When I saw that bicycle on that plate...well, I though you must have one or two of everything that was ever produced! Ha! Great idea to use the stickers on the clear plate...very clever!
ReplyDeleteAren't you cute? Stickers under glass -- love it!

ReplyDeleteWhat a creative and fun tablescape! Love the bike stickers under the glass plates, you smart girl. And I think your solution of putting the bike in the basket of flowers was brilliant! Way to think outside the box. laurie
ReplyDeleteI'm back. I forget to tell you that I bought my long-stem pumpkins from a road-side vendor. He said that they were grown on an Amish farm, and that the farmer twists the stems while they are growing to give them strength and length. I've never seen any like that either. laurie
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty...you always have such cute tables....
