The surprise tablescape

This table came together completely by mistake-not planned out-nothing. When I planned this tablescape it was meant to be outside-on a round table for 8 people! I had started to set things up outside when my husband called with the weather report---RAIN was to be coming in. SO, I went about bringing everything back in-putting away the outdoor dishes and pulling out the good crystal! The following pictures are the end result. And how to the dinner go?Well, around 5 pm the clouds went away the weather report said I had a good 2-3 hours before the rain came, SO I set a second table outside and we proceeded to enjoy a wonderful evening in our backyard!

Happy Thursday Everyone. Be sure to check out the wonderful tables from other fellow bloggers.

  3. I love it when "accidents" turn out to be perfect! Festive table -- and beautiful candlelight pics! By the way, I haven't been to Germany (yet) but I've shopped lots of thrift stores in the UK! Do you ever find the beautiful vintage German Christmas ornaments in your thrift stores. Surely not...
