Homecoming Dinner



My favorite tablescapes are the
 ones that can be enjoyed
by friends and family.


And this tablescape was lovingly done
for my beautiful daughter Madison 
and 4 of her most excellent friends
for dinner prior to Homecoming.



Madison helped pick the colors.



White... Pink...Blue


And for this evening we pulled out 
our rose china and "wedding" flatware.





A few dollars of grocery store clearance flowers
and two mini teapots became
sweet flower arrangements. 



Chocolate cover strawberries so fresh
that they steamed the glass!




The mudroom counter transferred to a perfect place
to stage drinks and dessert!



Homemade Mocha/ Vanilla Bean Cupcakes


Twizzlers- they make mouths happy! 


And did everyone have a good evening?????



These beautiful faces don't lie!

I knew from the thumbnail that I just had to come see this table. I wasn't disappointed! It's just beautiful to me, and I love the colors together. My favorite shot of all is the one with the sun on the flowers. Just LOVED that!

Hi DeeDee: What a great thing to do for your daughter. She is so pretty and I can just hear them all giggling around the table which looks so pretty. Something they will always remember. Barbara said both you and I left her more than one comment and that reminded me that I hadn't visited you for awhile. Sometimes if I don't get on at the right time I don't see what some put up so I forget (So easily!!) Anyway, I'll try to be better..Happy Weekend..Judy
