This is my first attempt at doing a table scape.
I have so loved seeing
how others present theirs so beautifully
and I think
I have lovely china and beautiful cloths
but when it comes to it I just lose my nerve!
So today I have decided
to bite the bullet and give it a go.
( with Aplogies to The Tablescaper
whose Seasonal Sundays I hope to infiltrate!!)
The cloth is one like my grandmother used to crochet
I saw these white daisies yesterday morning
and couldn't resist buying them
They are just so beautiful!!
And Finally....
Tomorrow is our 46th Wedding Anniversary
and I thought you might like to see a couple of pics.
This last photo was taken at our 45th celbration
last year
Your tablescape is lovely and so are you. Loved your wedding photos and especially the recent photo. Happy Anniversary loving couple from Pembrokeshire Wales . . .

ReplyDeleteVery pretty tablescape, and I couldn't help looking under the tablecloth, looks like you have a gorgeous table hidden under it.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a beautiful bride you were!
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is so elegant :D
I love your wedding pics! Gorgeous! Your tablescape is quite lovely and has introduced me to a new meme -- have not seen any of the tablescape posts around. I am quite taken with your little tea table with the turned legs!

I love your table scape! The linen is gorgeous, your table is lovely (you gave us a peak of the legs!) Your daisy's are beautiful - white and pure, like a wedding or anniversary table should be, yes? The china and silverware, however, oh my gosh - stunning!!! Absolutely stunning!

Gentle hugs,
Donna

A lovely table -- congratulations on "taking the plunge" -- but you Brits know how to set a pretty table.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty dishes, and tablecloth!! And what a dapper looking couple you are!!! Then and NOW!!!

Your table linen is gorgeous..and so is your china. I had to smile when I read how timid you felt about joining the tablescapers. I know that feeling well! I've been blogging for a couple of years now and I am still very insecure about what I do on my blog.

A lovely couple, then and now. Such pretty linens and tea set. Great treasures.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are pretty china and an even prettier crochet cloth. You did a wonderful job with your tablesetting, I would be happy to sit at that table for tea!! Congrats on your wedding anniversary my friend. Diane
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Happy Anniversary! I love your tablecloth. I crochet, but never large projects like this, so I know how much time and effort your grandmother put into creating something so beautiful. Your dishes are very pretty and you put everything together so well. Thanks for joining me at Your Cozy Home Party this week!
ReplyDeleteOMG... I am blown away with your elegant china and the table cloth is absolutely to drool for.
ReplyDeleteCongrats for the 46th Anniversary. I have 23 yrs more to cope up yours §;-)
I guess, this is my first time to visit. I am new player of Shannon's Home Party.
Happy day to you and to your DH.
Greetings from Sweden.
