I'll leave you with this last inspiring image from Martha Stewart Living April 2009. We all could use a little of Martha for inspiration! I love the branches and the hanging eggs as the centerpiece! This is something we all could do or something similar and it can come from your own backyard! You could make anything for the ornaments if it's not Easter time. An egg and a branch was placed on each plate to keep the theme. Perfect for an Easter setting!Have a great day and I'll look forward to tomorrow's tour !

Entertaining in a rustic way

This to me is a favorite tablescape! I love the cozy,warm environment of this outside setting! It's relaxed and comfortable! Everything is mix and match.It doesn't need to be perfect to be pretty! Of course this is set in a beautiful garden area but you can create your own space like this! As you see the flowers play a big role in dressing up any table! Also candles set the tone! A bottle of wine will really set the tone too! Lol! This photo is from Rebecca. It was taken from Country Living 2005. She says this..."entertaing is about spending time with family and friends"! This is so true. I told you all I was going to put up mr. linky for everyone to join the tour but it's just to difficult for me to do. My little helpers are not here to help me. I know I'm a sad case!! Anyways I will start posting your blogs on my post starting tomorrow for people to get ready and follow your tour! Let me know today and definately by tomorrow so I can post your blogs on Saturday too! Remember the tour doesn't start until Saturday!!!!Thank you all who will be joining me!I hope your inspired to go set your table!

Simple Elegance

Another table setting I just love! This one is a bit fancy yet has a casual feel. There is no table cloth just the natural,pretty wood table. Again fresh flowers are used as a centerpiece and unique candle sticks add a touch of whimsy and height to this table. The unique green bowl filled with pears adds a splash of color to this subtle color palette.This is just another style I love and wanted to share to give you more inspiration for the upcoming table setting tour!This photo came fromThe Home Companion 2002.Wishing you all an inspiring day!

Pretty Peonies

I just love this table setting! A pretty arrangement of peonies sets the tone. This table has fresh blooms all over it and each chair back in matching ribboned bustles. This look is definately frou frou but oh so pretty!I think flowers add such a beautiful touch to any table!

On the plates the theme is repeated.Gorgeous peony petals adorn the plate and stems of peony buds are tied in ribbon and placed at each setting!How can you not feel so pretty sitting at this table? Just another inspiration for you to think of. These photos were taken from The Home Companion 1999. I hope this might inspire more of you to jump on the table setting tour! You have plenty of time to create your own unique setting! Please see yesteday's post for more details.

Thanks!
